Plot synopsis

OIL and WATER. CATS and DOGS. WARREN BEATTY and DUSTIN HOFFMAN. CHICKS and COMICS.

Some things just DON'T go together. When super-geek, NICK NORTON, gets DUMPED by his girlfriend, he just CAN'T understand WHY. It's NOT like it's the first time RACHEL has caught him wearing PANTIES and PARADING around like Green Lantern. Broken-hearted, NICK heads to his favorite comic store in search of the SYMPATHY of his friends -- what he GETS is something completely DIFFERENT. Come along with NICK on his voyage of self-discovery as he searches for the ANSWER to one of life's greatest QUESTIONS -- which is SWEETER, a brand new, poly-bagged issue of the JLA or the LOVE of a good woman. The answer MAY NOT be as simple as you think.
