"Demon Zero" reads like a PG version of "John Dies at the End." It's got all of your favorite "two incompetent knuckleheads fighting evil" moments with 98% fewer dick jokes.
Maybe it would be more fair to say it's like an episode of "Supernatural" that you have to read.
Either way, those are two great things to be compared to, and "Demon Zero" finds its own legs in the space between them. It's full of magic, mayhem, and a surprisingly large amount of skee-ball.
Our heroes Virgil and Simon must protect their town from the various demons, zombies, and other creeping evils that infest it. Why? Because if they don't, who will? So despite their lack of experience, training, or basic competence, they try to vanquish the demon living in old Mrs. Grunberg's basement. As you can imagine, hilarity ensues.
But when the dudes meet an empathic purple-haired hipster girl at the local singing-robots-and-pizza emporium, she clues them in to their larger destiny. And then things start getting really weird.
Full of fast-paced action and tons of banter, "Demon Zero" is a promising start to the Dark Matter series, and I look forward to reading the next book!
