    “Laser beams… I understand, that part of it is crazy. But the… metaphor. That’s what’s important.”

    I totally forgot about this show, I liked the episode I saw before. And another one from WebSerials.com – I guess this is WebSerials.com catch up week.

    Four guys discuss love while waiting for the comic book store to open.

    Hmm… I really liked the first one I reviewed (which I now realize was episode 7) but this one didn’t grab me. It’s essentially one long joke with a reveal at the end which, considering the subject matter of the dialogue, isn’t all that surprising.

    If you like comics, you’ll probably get a chuckle or two out their shout outs to super heroes.

    “You can’t take a baby! That’s kidnapping, not a theft!”

    I really like the visual design of the opening titles. Colourful and graphic.

    So, here’s where things get moving. A crazy plot is hatched… and suddenly our hero’s life isn’t so boring.

    There’s a number of funny bits. What tickles me is that they are staging a fake mugging and because they are inspired by the comics, the “mugger” is dressed up like the bad guys in Scrooge McDuck.

    The fake fighting is fun, even if there’s some moments that feel like outtakes that were left in. I still like the comic book split screens, especially where they are used to juxtapose the comic book moments with the reality. What stands to be improved most is the acting. (Something to be said for almost every web series.)

    All in all, a fun episode, albeit with an abrupt ending.
