CHAPTER ONE: BIG SNOW
An Introduction of Major Characters and a Semi-Adventure Devised to Thrill Our Simpler Readers: A lonely waitress joins in the battle against Evil when she teams up with a cowboy and a spaceman in a stolen rental van for a cross-country mission to deliver some very special cargo! In this first chapter the reader is introduced to a group of wanton Bad Guys, as well as the non-standard format of the book, possibly causing the reader to decline the purchase of subsequent issues.

CHAPTER TWO: INVENTORY
In Which Several Possibly Important Things Are Revealed, Though They Are Pretty Meaningless, Generally Speaking: After experiencing a mechanical setback while en route to our Traveling Heroes' unknown destination, the decision is made to take temporary employment in order to earn some fast -n- crazy dollars. Absolutely nothing of consequence takes place in this chapter, I swear. But it is rich in character development. Oh, wait, I guess there's like, one important thing.
CHAPTER THREE: THE VAMPIRE HUNTERS: PART II
As Our Heroes Continue on Their As-Yet Unexplained Quest, The Plot Fails to Thicken: While pausing at a highway convenience store to purchase delicious snacks, Our Heroes come face-to-face with a new group of possibly evil Bad Guys. The situation gets tense, tempers flare, and windshield wiper fluid goes on sale for only $3.99, which is an absolute ripoff because it's mostly water, but if you're buying windshield wiper fluid at a convenience store on the side of the highway, you probably have no choice. Smooth move. Next time, be a little more prepared.

CHAPTER FOUR: CHAINS BETWEEN ANCHORS
In Which Select Items are 30-50% Off Lowest Marked Price Now Through Sunday: Following a wardrobe malfunction (hip cultural reference circa 2004), Our Heroes find themselves in Hell, where they are soon separated from each other. One escapes, one finds himself in the hands of his mysterious pursuers, and the third fella finds himself in some converted office space a few floors above Hell.

CHAPTER FIVE: THE MALEFICENTS
In Which All Sorts of Exciting Shit Occurs: Each Hero has a very thrilling adventure off on their own: One involves walking the dog, one is a humourous parody of a scene from a famous movie, like "Family Guy" always does, except it is even less entertaining, if that's even possible, and one adventure is just a lot of boring talking that is bound to put you to sleep or make you very angry. Our Brave Heroes are then reunited in a completely fantastical unrealistic manner that will make you wonder if perhaps "Deus ex machin-i-est" is really a phrase, and if so, is there an award for it, and if so, is it possible for you to nominate me for said award. But it's all in good fun, isn't it!
CHAPTER SIX: EMPTY
In Which a Fantastic Tale Explains an Amazing Resurrection: A cowboy tells a kooky story around the ol' campfire.

CHAPTER SEVEN: THE AWESOMEST DUDE IN THE WORLD
In Which The Author Loses What Little Credibility He Had Left Amongst His Peers: A cup of coffee turns into a deadly game of philosophical cat-and-mouse! Except the situation is not really all that deadly, it's simply the adjective of choice to precede phrases like "game of cat-and-mouse". And I guess the cat-and-mouse part doesn't really apply, either.
