[OL Exclusive] OMNI: A God-Awful, Small Affair

July 9th, 2012 by Rendar Frankenstein

OL is proud to present OMNI: A God-Awful, Small Affair!

On Mars nothing’s impossible.

Which is great if you’re an artist or a dreamer. But Farmer Murdock is one of the planet’s most hardboiled detectives, and as such he’s spent his entire career cleaning up messes that Earth never could’ve imagined. Lucky for Murdock, he’s only got one more mission before he’s free to spend the rest of his days sitting on the beach, digging his toes into red sand, and drinking himself into a stupor.

The catch? Murdock’s been tasked with assassinating two of the planet’s most beloved statesmen. Oh, and he has to do it in the planet’s most popular nightclub.

Written by Allen Drinkwater and illustrated by Manny Hernaez, A God-Awful, Small Affair is twenty-six pages of neon grime, rock’n’roll science fiction, and miraculous violence.

If you want to see what vengeance looks like on the fourth rock from the sun, this is the comic for you.

    This is rad as hell. It’s good to see OL getting behind some cool artists. Congrats to the artists for bringing their work to life with great success.

    We should try to get an interview with that Allen Drinkwater guy.

    I’d love to hear some more details about how to self-publish and whatnot. Make it so!!

    Are you sure he’d even do an interview? I only met him the once but he had that distant crazy/genius look to him. You know the look, like he’d just as easily give you a foot massage as he would light you on fire and cook smores over your crackling corpse.

    I would like a signed copy of your comic book. I would want to interview you for my blog.

    Got this bad boy last night and its fantastic. I love the art style, I love the gritty noirish narrative, and I found the story to be fully entertaining with a well developed world. Does Drinkwater have any other books out and/or is he putting more out soon?

    From what I can gather, Drinkwater’s got plenty of ideas for the series, with more than a few scripts in the can already. However, Manny Hernaez (the artist of this issue) is busy with some other work.

    I guess our best bet at getting some new OMNI is to tell Hernaez we want to see him on some more and to spread the word of this book to other artists who may be interested in playing in this Martian sandbox.
