Applegeeks, Vol. 2: Weird Science

Applegeeks #2

by Ananth Panagariya, Mohammad F. Haque (Illustrator)

All college students Jayce, Hawk, Alice, and Gina want to do is kick back and relax when they happen to land some downtime. And now that Hawk's latest creation, the sweet but dangerously superpowered android Eve, is finally starting to settle in with her motley crew of roommates, it looks like they'll actually get that chance! But a simple trip to the mall goes horribly awry, and when Eve goes haywire it's up to her newfound friends to calm her down, or shut her down! And if that weren't bad enough, the crew also find themselves contending with Jayce's megalomaniacal father, a giant robotic dinosaur, and Hawk's self-appointed nemesis, a five-year-old girl with dreams of world domination!

[Allan Olley · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a collection of comics from the web comic Applegeeks. A tale of college roommates one of whom (Hawk) is particularly obsessed with Apple and build a beautiful female android out of Apple parts.

In some ways a typical comic about gamers from the early 2000's it benefits from some slick artwork compared to others in the genre, but lacks a particularly stand out dramatic or comedic hook. The story is mostly lighter fare comedy which generally hits okay and with a somewhat stylized simplistic art style, however one or two stories are a bit more action movie pastiche serious and include a more realistic super hero comic art style.
