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.
Since much of the humor in Multiplex is character-based, there’s no better way to jump into Multiplex than with Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show, which collects strips #1–102 from the archives, plus over 40 pages of new material, character bios, guest strips and more!

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.

[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
The characters really steal the show.
— Delos Woodruff, Pop Syndicate
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
Hilarious… Grade: A
— Roman Colombo, Weekly Comic Book Review
The best parts of continuing storyline and daily gag comics. McAlpin’s drawing style is brilliant… One of the finer collections of web comics available.
— M.C. Shumaker, Fandomania
Damned funny… A must-have for fans of the strip and a should-buy for those looking for a new graphic novel to enjoy.
— Marc Mason, Comics Waiting Room
Doesn’t miss a beat in poking fun at films, the filmmakers who make them, the actors who star in them and most of all, the people who pay to see them.
— Ernie Estrella, PopCultureShock
Multiplex sets the standard for webcomics using solid storytelling, satire, human drama, work life and serves it on a platform that we all understand — the social watering hole of the movie theater.
— Jimmie Robinson, Bomb Queen
Wonderful… An engaging character ensemble with just
the right blend of way too much pop culture.
— Zander Cannon,
The Replacement God, Top Ten
