"Inbetween Days" is a strong filler book for those of us eagerly awaiting the next installment of Blue Monday.

Bone Oni Press, 2003 Fun book + Yee-haw! Ida Red rules! + Paul Dini does it again! I like Ida because she is fun and is a good role model for girls. I am tired of wonder woman. It was good to read about someone who is around my age and could maybe be my friend someday. It makes me also think I am a hero too.             Visitations2 reviews Scott Morse Oni Press, 1998 Beautiful and moving I picked up this book at the San Diego Comic Con after it was recommended to me by Tom Beland (who writes "True Story, Swear to God" which you should also read). I found it to be one of the most beautiful and moving graphic novels I've ever read. A distraught woman visits a church looking for some ...             Days Like This J. Torres, Scott Chantler Oni Press, 2003 J. Torres, who used memory to great effect in The Copybook Tales, now casts his eye back to the early '60s, when pop music ruled the airwaves.

Oni Press, 2003 Madman is back! Give us more, Allred! It's been a few years, between "The Atomics," "X-Force" and "X-Statix," since we've seen Mike Allred's Madman in a solo adventure, but this book really satisfied me, even if it did make me long for a more regular Madman fix. Frank "Madman" Einstein is looking forward to a quiet date with his ...             The Atomics: Spaced Out & Grounded In Snap City2 reviews Mike Allred, J. Bone, ... Oni Press, 2003 A very pleasant read, espesh for the ALLRED-y converted + The Atomics? Well, mostly...

He helps the wrong people meet their own end. ...             The Complete Soulwind3 reviews Scott Morse Oni Press, 2003 Deserves much wider exposure + Strange,... But Great. I'd place this on the same level as Neil Gaiman's work with Dave McKean, both in terms of story and art. However, unlike McKean's patchwork surrealism, Morse relies on a minimal, flowing style, often using blank space and page layout to their own ends. It might be disconcerting to some that the ...             Powers Vol. 5: Anarchy4 reviews Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Avon Oeming Image Comics, 2004 The Powers universe gets darker. + Graphic SF Reader + It Just Keeps Getting Better The series by Bendis and Oeming appeared, at first light, to be a police procedural applied to superheroes; "NYPD Blue" cops exploring superhero-related murders. That was interesting enough for the first several story arcs. With this particular story arc (collecting Powers issues 21-24) the focus ...             Last Exit Before Toll3 reviews Neal Shaffer, Christopher J. Mitten, ... Oni Press, 2003 Pretty decent little indy film wrapped up in a graphic novel Like to give a lot of the oni books a chance. Feel they really offer a fine alternative to the spandex, big breasted, "superhero A will never die because we make too much money off of him" type books. Last Exit is another that follows right in line. I think its an interesting story and one ...
