Mini-Series Premiere. Down-on-his-luck rideshare driver Jerry Hauser's existence is a bleak one... especially because every fare he picks up tells him how much he looks like uber-successful self-help guru Darren Hart. But after a twist of fate, Jerry is given the chance of a lifetime... which, if he's not careful, may well end his lifetime. So begins this California noir-a rollicking and gleefully lurid pulp crime story for our time.

    I do not know where this story is going exactly. It is possible that Darren could die and Jerry will take his place and possibly become a better self-help guru than Darren but only time will tell. Read Full Review

    The series first issue isnt the most gripping comic. Main character Jerry is a little on the thin side as far as development is concerned. Ultimately, though, he works for what has to happen by the issues end. In the end its Self Help #1s final pages that give the issue enough of a boost to see future potential. Read Full Review
