"There are no cute guys",
laments Lexie, the clerk at the local comic store.

This is the beginning of the odyssey that includes Bud, the love struck gaming geek, his friend Stan, Mike the would-be writer and Laslow Kincaid, a criminal legend in his own mind. While Laslow tutors Mike in the ways of crime, Stan tries to coach Bud into approaching Lexie. For her part, Lexie is the ringmaster of the circus. She moves from one storyline to the other and has a profound effect on both.

In The Margin

By Writer Aaron Settle

Comic Store Diaries Volume 4 was born of necessity. We finally grew tired of talking about filming something and decided to do something about it. We knew from the start it had to be set somewhere that we had access to. So the choices were limited. We could set it in my house, Kim's apartment or the store where I worked. The store won out (although my house would have its moment in the sun soon enough).

So then I had to write something. I had an idea about a role player who has a crush on the girl who works in the store. It was cute, but not spectacular. I wrote it, but wasn't real happy. So I tried something else. I brought in my favorite character of all time, Laslow Kincaid (who was a main characters in one of the first screenplays I ever wrote Heist 101). Laslow's stuff was funny, and I was happier with it. But Kim and Wendy asked what happened to the love struck geek. So much like the classic Reese's commercial I mixed peanut butter and chocolate and came up with Comic Store Diaries Volume 4.

Everyone asks about the volume 4, and where are the first three volumes. There are no volumes 1-3, at least not yet. It's simply a sad case of too many Star Wars geeks being allowed to be in close proximity to each other.

We always planned to make more. I have several scripts written, accounting for characters drifting away and being replaced with other new faces. But we've never been able to get enough of the original characters together at one time to make it happen.

Maybe someday.
