Was really not sure what to expect with this one, but I ended up enjoying it despite the very ugly art and gratuitous nudity. It was actually engaging and I found myself rooting for the down on his luck washed up comedian who becomes a test subject for new technology that would allow him to virtually re-do his life.
Former celeb Guy Krause is taking a court-ordered DUI class when Angela Minor recruits him for a project that lets people relive their lives virtually. Krause is kinda the test pilot. His "life" starts at his high school graduation (an unhappy moment). If he wants to stop, he must hit a reset button which brings him back to that same unhappy moment. Of course, Guy has a huge problem getting past that first minute until he rewrites the rules.
Meanwhile, the purpose of the virtual reality exercise isn't what Guy expected it to be. Still, Guy has the chance to relive his life as others saw it. Is that a good thing? No spoilers here: you'll have to read Reset to find out.
The art and story are both goofy, in a good way. The characters have some depth and it's easy to connect with them. In addition to being offbeat and funny, the story is also surprisingly smart and insightful. That's a rare combination. I would give Reset 4 1/2 stars if I could.
