Pretty decent and fun to read.

Transmission is a webcomic about two down on their luck twin brothers from England who re-locate to the United States to restart their mechanic business. When I first heard of this comic I thought it was going to be mostly car related humor but I am very impressed with how the creator expands his horizons. Honestly its like King of the Hill meets Sabrina Online.

The artwork is pretty cool and has a retro vibe to them almost that reminds me of old school Nickelodeon cartoons from the 90's.

Mark Smith is not only a good cartoonist but a very decent writer too, because most of his arcs feel a lot like episodes to a show or a movie. Well I guess because some arcs are parodies of a few movies from the 80's, namely the "Duel", "Christine", and "Falling Down" movies.

Aside from comedy, Mr. Smith also has a knack for making very serious stories, such as the "Jason" and the "Points of Vanishing" arcs.

I also really love the relationship between Jason and Reggie. They have a very brotherly connection and if I had to give my two cents, I was saddn when Jason left the series for a while. It kind of left the comic pretty hollow without him. I kind of wish in the future, Jason and Reggie would be included in more arcs because they have perfect chemistry.

Overall, Transmission is a good read. If you like slice of life comics that have a unique blend of comedy, drama, and action then Transmission is something I highly recommend. It has great humor but also heartfelt moments too.
