Quick Stops

Holden McNeil and Banky Edwards are best known for creating the smoking-hot superhero comic-book Bluntman and Chronic—a tour de force of the dick and fart joke genre. For Holden, it’s a way to pay the bills, but he longs to create the kind of art he and Banky did at the beginning of their career. Something personal. Something that means something. Enter Alyssa Jones. The coolest girl in the world, and someone who means something. This is the comic Holden wrote about her. A comic about love. A comic about insecurity. A comic about growth. A comic about Chasing Amy. • Renowned director, podcaster, actor, and writer Kevin Smith returns to the View Askewniverse with the third installment of Quick Stops. • Cover A is a tribute to Mike Allred by John Sprengelmeyer! • Four issue series.

In this very special issue of Quick Stops, Kevin Smith pens a touching tribute to friend, collaborator, early architect of the Askewniverse, and the reason that Mallrats exists—the incomparable Shannen Doherty. Join us as we honor our friend and costar with two stories—one about Shannen’s immaculate sense of humor, and the other a requiem for her character in Mallrats, Rene. • Four issue series.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! • Kevin Smith returns to the View Askewniverse with the third installment of Quick Stops. • Four-issue series.

The enigmatic Jones sisters have appeared peripherally throughout the View Askewniverse, adding a little free-spirited spice to the day-to-day of Leonardo, New Jersey. In the final issue of Quick Stops Volume 3, we find all three sisters together for an illuminating family-focused story time. This comic takes place the day after Tricia Jones witnessed a unique live recording of a game show at her local mall in Mallrats, the day Heather Jones and Rick Derris left Quick Stops Groceries for some beach time in Clerks, and while Chasing Amy’s Alyssa Jones trains down from the city to visit her parents. After their tryst at the beach, Heather and Rick head to the Jones’ family home. There, they catch up with Heather’s sisters Tricia and Alyssa. It turns out Rick and his buddy Cohee Lundin used to spend a lot of time in the Jones’ household and have an…intimate connection to infamous “Finger Cuffs” story. It turns out that there is more to that fateful rendezvous than the malicious rumor mill would have you believe—enough complicated human sexuality that an academic-minded Tricia might even include it in her book! • Series finale!
