When word hits the street that a nearby elderly gentleman has a cache of old, rare, and very valuable mint condition comic books, rival comic book shop owners Raymond McGillicuddy (Donal Logue) and Norman Link (Michael Rapaport) both set out to be the first to buy them. But when the old man declines to sell, the former friends turn into enemies, and a friendly rivalry becomes tainted with greed and turns to murder. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

I really like independent films, and comics as a medium that combines visual art with literature are definitely familiar to me; after all, there are several dozen titles in my library. So, ostensibly, I should quite like this film. However, the result is unfortunately awkward, and my overall rating barely climbs to 50% and a meager three stars. The main culprit is the uneven and unbelievable screenplay. While the behavior of the movie heroes is sometimes "over-the-top" in a comic book manner, the story itself is far-fetched, and the film oscillates between genres, lacking style and atmosphere. If this is what independent film production is going to look like, the bosses of major studios can remain absolutely calm - there won't be any pressure from competition here.
