This is so funny you may laugh yourself unconscious. You may want to check with your doctor first. Composed of several episodes from the Clerks comic book series, Kevin Smith authors some of the most laugh outloud comic adventures I've ever read. Reprising the characters from the Clerks movie and guest appearances from Smith favorites Jay & Silent Bob, Clerks: The Comic Books is a highly recommended good time.

If you are a fan of Kevin Smith and his films you will no doubt enjoy this collection of the three comic books based on his film "Clerks". If you are easily offended though by vulgar language this may not be the book for you. The book follows the adventures of the disgruntled clerks Randal and Dante. This book is sure to keep you out of your seat, and on the floor in tears of laughter. I liked it mostly for the "lost scene" segment of the book, where it took a supposedly "cut scene" from the film clerks, and turned it into one of the funniest things I have ever read. You have to read it to belive it. So if you are a fan of vulgar comedy, or of Kevin Smith, (I suppose the two go hand in hand) then get YOUR hands on this book today.

This is one of my comic collection's best, along with chasing dogma. This is a very very funny comic book, with the same humor as the movie. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because the funeral comic didn't make much sense in context of the movie. Why would Dante get so mad at randal if it was somewhat his fault too? The first comic in this though was well worth the price.

Kevin Smith has done it again. After writing the film classic, Clerks, Kevin follows up with a comic book that has me wanting more. The artwork isn't the greatest, but the stories are. I can't wait until I read Jay and Silent Bob: Chasing Dogma.

For all of those people out there just like me, you cannot get enough Kev Smith material. This collection of comics spins off of the movie, Clerks. Randall does not dissappoint with crude behavior and his warped yet sensible logic. Find out what happened to Caitlin. How do you awaken a comotose female who had sex with a dead guy? Dante knows. Jay and Silent Bob naturally appear and even host the "Lost Episode" from the funeral in Clerks. Saying Kev Smith has milked this concept to death shows how little a VA fan someone is. Jay points out how the tubby one is cashing out, tongue in cheek of course. This book is not for the money it generates, it is for us die hard VA fans out there who cannot sit idley by and wait for the next flick.

I remember first seeing the movie. It was AFTER reading the first Clerks comic. I have to be honest, the comics are much better than the movie. That's my opinion. But if your going to spend $18 on the video, insted, spend HALF that on this book. You WILL laugh. The stories follow Randal's obsesion with the booming action figure market, Dante trying to win a fifteen year old bet and Randal trying to stop him. Plus, the infamus 'funeral' scene that was cut from the movie due to budget problems. See one of Santa's elves rent a porno from Randal. See Dante running for his life after getting kicked out of a mentel hospitle for 'caning' a patient. You gotta see it. Lets review: Movie = hilarious Comics = better. Snoogans.

These stories are unbelievable!! Kevin Smith has come through once again with these stories which are just as funny as the movies. There are jokes in here that will have you laughing out loud, and there are some moments in here that will fill you with the Christmas Spirit. There is even a scene that was actually emotional. Dante and Randal are the main focus in these stories, since it is about "Clerks". Other characters from the View Askewniverse are also in these stories, even the return of Caitlin Bree!! There is even a scene with everyone's favorite guy who just wants to see the sailboat, you know who I'm talking about. If you loved the movie, you will love these stories too. They are just as witty and funny, with a little true drama thrown in, as the movie you have come to love. As a fan, you owe it to yourself to pick this up, it is worth every penny!!

i've been a fan of kevin smith and his movies for about 6 years and i just got the book this year (2006). i'm not really a fan of comics but i have wanted to get ahold of the comics by him and see what they were all about. these comics are great. the lost scene is hillarious. i'd say that ALL of the comics by smith are a MUST for any fan. hillarious stuff.

'Ello, i gave it a rating but i havent read it but ive heard great Things about it. im a die hard kevin smith fan and when i get it and read it i will probably give it FIVE stars. well i loved the movie but i heard this is better.
