I don’t know how we missed this, but in reading an article by Comic Related I noticed mentioning of a web series that was described as “like Clerks if it took place in a comic shop.” Needless to say, I immediately found the website in order to watch this program. What I found is that the description is actually quite accurate. This is DEFINITELY Clerks if it took place in a comic shop, and being a huge fan of Kevin Smith and comic shops, I had to ask myself, “How on Earth did I miss this?”
In the first episode of the Variants, we meet the clerks of the comic store Zeus Comics, as a brand new limited edition hardcover by “Jim Liefeld” comes out. Throughout the episode we see both hardcore fans of the book and general dissenters (which I would assume would be all of us at MC) in a very humorous exposition into the general life of the comic book nerds.
Watch and enjoy:
While I apologize for not posting about this sooner, I hope this comes as a pleasant gift in our new year. Please visit TheVariants.com for more episodes, and subscribe on YouTube. It’s getting a good amount of buzz on the internet, plus now our endorsement as well.
