Welcome to the Multiplex 10 Cinemas!

Multiplex is an online comic about a low-brow movie buff Kurt and a high-brow film snob Jason, who wage a never-ending battle against the terrible movies and even worse customers infesting their movie theater.

Multiplex is a sitcom-style romp jam-packed with movie jokes, real-world movie commentary, and healthy doses of stupid humor and teen drama.

The Multiplex: Chapter 1 eBook collects strips #1–24 from the Multiplex archives, plus two guest strips (by Gordon), seven bonus comics not found in the archives, and four character bios!

CHAPTER 1 IS FREE (PDF, 22.6mb)

You can also buy Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show (Book 1), with Chapters 1–5 in one 224-page paperback volume, along with an exclusive 12-page Prequel story and more!

Or read from the beginning online!

Praise for Multiplex and Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show

Multiplex perfectly portrays the real foibles and friendships of a lousy job with a couple of perks. Also, it looks round and colorful and sweet, like delicious candy. I recommend reading Multiplex over getting an actual job.
Bryan Lee O’Malley,
    Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

[Multiplex tells the story of] a group of young twenty-somethings, on the front lines of the movies we love (and love to hate)… Think Clerks in a movie theatre.
Chris Arrant, Newsarama

Thoroughly entertaining… If you don’t recognize you or your friends in any of these characters, you aren’t looking very hard.
Jason Sacks, Comics Bulletin

(McAlpin) is a master of pushing the story forward without using words.
Chicago Tribune

The best parts of continuing storyline and daily gag comics. McAlpin’s drawing style is brilliant…
M.C. Shumaker, Fandomania

Wonderful… An engaging character ensemble with just the right blend of way too much pop culture.
Zander Cannon,
    The Replacement God, Top Ten
