I loved the original Clerks movie. Quintessentially Gen-X, brave, and terribly funny, the first film by Kevin Smith (and still his best one, in my opinion) was an unexpected breath of fresh air for teenagers in the 90s. What followed rarely reached the same level, but it maintained the spirit, the "fuck-all" attitude, the courage of the original. This volume is also very uneven in quality, and it will make no sense whatsoever if you don't know who characters like Dante or Jay & Silent Bob are; but if you are a View Askew aficionado, you should proudly display this on your comic shelf, and watch as Jay tries to tell Nazi jokes to Will Eisner and you can't help laughing your a$$ off.
