New Web Series: “Superjerks”

from KoldCast TV:

Set on the quaint island of Manhattan, Superjerks follows the adventures of superhero roommates Marvin and Derrick. Whether it is ordering pizza or saving “rich white folk in the Hamptons,” the duo fails at pretty much everything they do. Embedded in a crappy apartment rife with mutual disdain for the other, there is no insult, trick, or low blow they won’t dish out in the name of delicious justice. Who needs the hater’s ball when they’ve got each other?

Derrick — Graduating at the bottom of his class at the superhero academy, Derrick hails from the land of Big Ben and David Beckham. His powers of vegetation are second only to his propensities for booze, gambling, women, petty larceny, snooker, pipe tobacco, four-square, comic-con and Gossip Girl.

Marvin — The conscience of the duo, Marvin tries his best to “keep it classy” and emulate the likes of minority superheroes Orpheous and Jet, but he all too often finds himself drawn into Derrick’s daily shenanigans. Marvin enjoys the cooking channel, scented candles, muscle cars and reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
