ONI

Here is an all-purpose Oni Press thread (c/d, s/d, poo, etc.).

Almost purely on the strength of Queen & Country and the odd Scott Morse book, classic.

Also just read Jen Van Meter's Hopeless Savages -- and even though it deals with, of all things, punk rock, fantastic dialogue and cheery characters. (JVM, I should mention, is married to Rucka. There's a thing there, dialogue!)(And is she British? Anyone?)(Yeah, I also wanted to talk about Hopeless Savages -- the other volume any snuff?)

Andi Watson's not bad neither, but judging by Geisha, a bit unfocused at times.

Arthur Dela Cruz (Kissing Chaos): pretty art, d00d can't write.

Search: Courtney Crumrin, BARRY WEEN!, Atomic City Tales, Frumpy The Crown, Madman, some of the Kevin Smith stuff they did.

Destroy: Scooter Girl, Blue Monday, anything touched by the hand of Chynna Clugston Major.

I like Blue Monday - I can see how it could annoy though. I did read something terrible on ONI but I can't recall what it was - it was very MTV rebellion. Barry Ween is grebt grebt grebt - is there much of it, I think I can only have 1 (or 2?) issues.

There's four collections, three issues each. The last two are the Monkey Business miniseries.

Leeee, have you read Andi Watson's Skeleton Key? It's super-twee, and just as great! His current Oni series (Love Fights) is fun stuff, too (but maybe I'm just a sucker for superpets).

Also good from Oni - Three Strikes (by the writing crew that's currently on Marvel's New Mutants / New X-Men series) (w/ art by Q&C's Brian Hurtt) (sic). It's about a bounty hunter tracking down a "fugitive", and the people in their lives & other treacly-sounding stuff that's not as treacly as you'd think.

I love the hell out of Courtney Crumrin and Queen & Country. Haven't read anything else but I'd like to.

Complete Copybook Tales was very good, a growing-up (in Canada) story by J. Torres and Tim Levins, and I loved Courtney Crumrin. Another nod for Hopeless Savages too. Not really too keen on their manga-style stuff. Has anyone read Marquis? I keep picking it up and putting it down again at the shop. Maybe that's a sign.

Skeleton Key, grebt, but SUGAR BUZZ is the grebtest. let's talk about SUGAR BUZZ, SUGAR BUZZ, SUGAR BUZZ. oh this is an ONI thread. bah

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Friday, 30 April 2004 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Alan, come w/ the SUGAR BUZZ talk for us ign'ant folk, plz.

I did read something terrible on ONI but I can't recall what it was - it was very MTV rebellion.

Sounds like Kissing Chaos.

Queen & Country scoop! There's going to be an original Q&C novel out in the fall that's actually part of the canonical storyline!

Also, Rucka wants to beat me up!

― Leeefuse 73 (Leee), Saturday, 1 May 2004 05:15 (twenty-one years ago)

You lucky bastard! The best I ever got was J0hn Byrn3 laughing @/with me! Keep it up!

― David R. (popshots75`), Saturday, 1 May 2004 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't figure if you're joking.

― Leeefuse 73 (Leee), Monday, 3 May 2004 05:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't figure why you'd think I am / not joking?

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 3 May 2004 11:43 (twenty-one years ago)

one year passes...

Also good from Oni - Three Strikes (by the writing crew that's currently on Marvel's New Mutants / New X-Men series)

That'd be Nunzio DeFilipis and Christina Weir, whose writing on New X-Men: Academy X is deplorable.

― Leeeeeeee (Leee), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:02 (twenty years ago)

Has anyone read Scott Pilgrim?
It's twee but excellent.

― Chuck_Tatum (Chuck_Tatum), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:58 (twenty years ago)

Also good from Oni - Three Strikes (by the writing crew that was on Marvel's New Mutants / New X-Men series) (the same crew that Leeeee is misjudging in the case of Three Strikes)
