Quick Stops Volume 3

QUICK STOPS VOLUME 3

This August, renowned director, podcaster, producer, actor, and writer Kevin Smith (The 4:30 Movie, Mallrats) returns to the View Askewniverse with the third installment in his black-and-white anthology comic series, Quick Stops. Each issue will be written by Smith and will feature different artists. The first issue will be illustrated by John Sprengelmeyer (Maskerade, Captain Ribman), the second by Ryan Gajda, the third by Mark Reihill (Quick Stops, Off Girl), and the fourth by Ahmed Rafaat (Who Are the Power Pals?, Quick Stops) with lettering by Andrew Thomas (Maskerade, Mosely) on issues #2-4. Issue #1 will also feature two covers by Sprengelmeyer (one exclusive to Secret Stash) and one by Kate Bettini.  

In Quick Stops Volume 3, we finally get the chance to read the comic Holden McNeil created about loving and losing Alyssa Jones, as seen in the feature film Chasing Amy. Kevin Smith honors his friend and costar Shannen Doherty with two stories: one about Shannen’s immaculate sense of humor, and the other a requiem for her character in Mallrats, Rene. We witness a touching reunion between Jay and Silent Bob and their old Dogma buddy, Metatron—Herald of the Almighty, Voice of the one true God, and dropper of divine nuggets of knowledge. And last, but not least, we keep up with the Jones sisters and find out the full story behind how Alyssa Jones got the nickname “Finger Cuffs.”

Kevin Smith delivers a few hard-earned life lessons with a heavy dose of signature levity. This volume of Quick Stops will stick with you long after the laughs stop.
