The Chaotic Duo #1

Well, Matt has to be 14 by now, so I think that means he’s too old to do comics and he’s all washed up. Oh well, it was a fun ride while it lasted! This comic, as you might be able to tell from the cover, is all about chaos. It most resembles Milk and Cheese from Evan Dorkin, but he points that out himself. It’s kind of messy, but when can you go wrong by showing a couple of kids beat up clowns, mall employees, bullies, goth kids (he’s punk, you see), and random bystanders. It’s not Hamlet or anything, but it’s a fun book and putting characters in all kinds of these random situations is great practice towards his future career of being a comics mastermind by the time he’s 20. It’s $2, pretty big, and is perfectly suited towards people who can relate to some slapstick, gory humor. Contact info is up there!
