Pop culture icons Jay & Silent Bob make the leap from the big screen to the world of comics in this mini-series chronicling the duo’s adventures between Chasing Amy and Dogma. Written by series director (and Bob portrayer) Kevin Smith, this tale features his cult heroes traveling from their home in New Jersey to Shermer, Illinois. This mythical setting of John Hughes’ teen melodramatic classics is the holy land for Jay and Bob who have high hopes for a town filled with beautiful women, loser guys, and most importantly no drug connection.

Along the way they encounter Mr. Rogers, porn stars, and even help return a chimp to its rightful owner. The whole series is filled with the razor wit and raunchy dialog that made Smith’s movies instant classics with the under-thirty hipster set. Smith has crossed over into the mainstream with his work on Daredevil, but this is a great place to check out one of his first efforts in the comic book realm.
