SCOOP: Kevin Smith’s Quick Stops returns in August from Dark Horse Comics with Quick Stops III from the ViewAskewniverse

In 2022, it was announced that Dark Horse and Kevin Smith would be teaming up to publish the books of Secret Stash Press, a new publishing line by Smith. One of the first was Quick Stops, written by Kevin Smith, an anthology of stories set within the View Askewniverse, drawn by Jeremy Simser, Phillip Hester and Ande Parks with covers by John Sprengelmeyer. A second series came in 2023, Quick Stops II, drawn by Ahmed Raafat. There was none in 2023, but Smith has been a bit busy. Now Bleeding Cool has the word, out of the London Book Fair, that we will get a Quick Stops III series from Kevin Smith, Dark Horse Comics, in August 2025. No more details, other than John Sprengelmeyer will be returning for cover duty. This also comes as Kevin Smith is writing a View Askewniverse crossover with Archie Comics. Here’s how the previous two Quick Stops series looked, collected.
