Review Overview

If you’re a fan of Kevin Smith‘s Askewniverse, then you’re in for a treat with Quick Stops #1, if you are not just move along. In this second volume of Quick Stops written by Smith and illustrated by Ahmed Raafat, we get a seedy, sexy, and shockingly hilarious origin story of one of the universe’s most revered icons: Mooby the Golden Calf. The story follows a young podcaster on the hunt for the truth behind Mooby’s creation, and what she uncovers is anything but udderly expected.

The black and white artwork featured in Quick Stops immediately stands out, paying homage to Smith’s debut film, Clerks. The style is simple yet effective. The characters are comically exaggerated, with bold lines and exaggerated expressions that capture the absurdity of the story. The pages are littered with easter eggs and nods to the Askewniverse, making it a fun read for longtime fans.

The story itself is where Quick Stops truly shines. Kevin Smith’s wit and humor are on full display, delivering dialogue that’s equally crass and clever. The Mooby origin story is given a salacious twist, complete with sex, drugs, and violent crime. It’s a classic Kevin Smith tale that’s equal parts hilarious and shocking, and yet still manages to have a heartwarming message at its core.

Using the young podcaster as a great entry point into the story is perfect. She’s a relatable and endearing character who’s on the hunt for the truth. Her interactions with Nancy Goldruff, the creator of Mooby, are witty and entertaining. The story is set in the world of podcasting and pop culture fandom, giving it a modern twist that feels current and fresh.

Quick Stops #1 is a must-read for any fan of Kevin Smith and the Askewniverse. The black and white artwork, sharp writing, and raunchy humor make for a memorable and entertaining read. The comic book perfectly captures the spirit of the Clerks universe while adding a modern twist that feels fresh and relevant.

Quick Stops #1 hits local comic shops on December 13, 2023 from Dark Horse.
