I've got a special treat for you guys today. :) I was contacted about this gem of a show a while back but because I write most of my reviews in advance a few days, I had to cycle through the ones I had built up. Are you ready? It's "Anti-Matter"! "Anti-Matter" is, according to the e-mail I recieved,:
"...A new comedic web series that follows the antics of a New York City comic shop. It was created by Chris Walker, comic fan and Marvel colorist turned filmmaker, and features an ensemble cast, many of whom are regulars at Upright Citizen’s Brigade.
Jeff Parker (HULK, THUNDERBOLTS) had this to say. 'Treat it like fiction if you want, but this is pretty dead on what it's like behind the scenes at our nation's major comics shops. Which... explains a lot, actually.'"
According to the official website,
"In the tradition of 'Cheers', 'The Office' and 'Friends', comes Anti-Matter, a workplace and family of friends comedy which takes a playful life in the comic shop!
Set in a comic book store, Anti-Matter features the zany often hilarious hijinks that happen with the staff and the idiosyncratic regulars of a NY comic book shop who treat the store more like a clubhouse than a place of business.
Through the exploits of the staff and regulars Anti-Matter serves as a hilarious gateway for audiences to laugh as a surprising number of life’s events occur in the shop."
According to me, it's AWESOME. I've watched the most recent episode and, as soon as I share this bit of epic with the world, I'll be going back to watch the previous ones. "Anti-Matter" is hilarious. What makes it so hilarious is that it's very easy to relate to and true-to-life. Even if you're not into comic books or geek culture, a great show is a great show.

I hear Chris loves my site. Love right back at ya, Chris. :)
