Title: Young Geeks In LoveIssue: 1
Publisher: Red City Comics
Date: 2003
Writer: Robert Bienvenu
Artist: Robert Bienvenu
Memoir of a geek's adventures in love during his college days, and the complications brought on by his rather impressive comic book collection. Set, well, sometime in the less-geek-accepting past, the heroic art major soon discovers a pattern. His girlfriends break up with him soon after he comes clean about his comic collecting hobby.
Fortunately, for every pattern, there is an anomaly.
Some of the dialogues seemed slightly forced and the story definitely felt outdated by today's standards, but it was still cute, particularly the gimmick of morphing the girlfriend characters into villainesses when they prove less than accepting of the whole comic collecting thing.
I also liked the romance-comic parody cover.
Rating: 5.5/10
