[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.

[PREVIEW] OMNI: A God-Awful, Small Affair

April 28th, 2012 by Rendar Frankenstein

OL has been given first crack at previewing A God-Awful, Small Affair, the first installment of OMNI from first-time writer Allen Drinkwater (who is, apparently, a friend of this site). After checking out the preview materials and being completely won over by the artwork of Manny Hernaez, I’ve decided to oblige.

Set on the Mars of 2090 CE, this comic follows Detective Farmer Murdock as he attempts to complete his final mission. The catch? The task at hand is to assassinate two of the planet’s most well-respected statesmen. The ensuing tale is filled with violence, rock’n'roll, nefarious secrets, and even a hint of the miraculous.
