This sounds like it could be a lot of fun! With the characters alone there would be lots of material for jokes but when you factor in the geass powers as well...I wanna read this!

So it's "Code Geass" re-imagined by Kevin Smith?

I suddenly imagine Lelouch and Suzaku becoming like Dante and Randal discussing Jedi politics.

y'know... I haven't read any of the Code Geass manga at all (the light novels, yes, but novels are the things I love the most), but I kinda want to read this...

I'd read/watch this...!

Sounds a million times better than the original Code Geass, which was so stupid I couldn't get past the first episode.

Depends. From the sound of things, this is going to be the sort of spin-off where you'll get the most out of it if you're actually familiar with the characters to begin with and can laugh at seeing them in unorthodox situations. Otherwise, you tend to miss half the jokes. At least that's how the theory goes, whether you apply it to Code Geass or anything else in particular.

Of course, at heart this is still just another cash-grab and not necessarily the best way to go at it.

Personally, I'm not that interested at the moment because anime/manga humor tends to be very hit or miss for me. It doesn't help that I don't follow 4-koma as a whole either, so it's unlikely this will grab my attention unless I hear positive feedback.
