>Before Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Sophie Campbell’s acclaimed, headline-making work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Jem & the Holograms, and Glory, there was her singular and seminal debut: WET MOON. Now 20 years after its initial publication, Oni Press – the multiple Eisner and Harvey award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comic books and graphic novels since 1997 – is celebrating the landmark series WET MOON with the first in a new series of three omnibus collections beginning this November. The WET MOON 20th ANNIVERSARY OMNIBUS VOL. 1 re-presents the stories “Feeble Wanderings” and “Unseen Feet,” now in a larger trim size with newly illustrated covers and a never-before-seen introduction from Campbell herself.
>An unusually usual day-to-day story in the Deep South, set in the Gothic, swampy southern town of Wet Moon, a place fraught with lousy love lives, teen angst, and shadowy rednecks. As Cleo Lovedrop heads off for college at the local art school, she’s haunted by her melancholic past. Elsewhere, Trilby deals with unsettled emotional and sexual issues, and keeping her secret habits hidden from everyone. And Audrey comes to the realization that, despite all her efforts, she always causes her friends distress, while Fern, a peculiar girl who lives in an isolated mansion in the bayou, begins to notice Cleo and her friends. Goths, friendship, romance, sex, betrayal, gossip, cats, murder, guilt, a squirrel monkey, and all the terrible and wonderful things people do to each other can be found in the pages of Wet Moon.

PRAISE FOR WET MOON & SOPHIE CAMBELL
“Sophie Campbell is one of the best artists on the planet.”—The Mary Sue
A “ beloved queer series.”—THE ADVOCATE
“Body positivity of very diverse shapes is celebrated in the book. The story starts in the town of Wet Moon, focusing on Cleo Lovedrop and friends Trilby Bernarde, Audrey Richter, and Mara Zuzanny, all art students. There is courage in the portrayal here of sexual violence and its survivorship.”— ELECTRIC LIT
“One of the most talented and unique artists and writers in comics today.”—AUTOSTRADDLE
“But if much of Wet Moon is unfamiliar territory, that’s part of the thrill; its characters are helplessly human, and with a stunning cliffhanger ending, the goal has been accomplished—it’s difficult to imagine any reader not wondering “What happens next?” — Foreword Reviews

Cover art looks decent,
but the interiors are kind of crap.
The writing is also kind of crap.
Yeah, the writer sucks really hard. The TMNT run is some of the worst mishandling of a big franchise I have ever read, the Clone Saga is a much better long term story than this writer's TMNT run.
That's because the writer couldn't do anything important because waltz wanted to do his Armageddon game story eventually
>series full of fat goth dykes
My boner is huge now
Doesn't help that the bee-stung lips get in the way of emoting.
>Body positivity of very diverse shapes is celebrated in the book.
this is good, but talk about damned by faint praise
Damned by feigned praise.

Fat goth chicks for the coomers out there.
Post the cringe pages
What?
Huh? Who? When? Where?
I remember when this was coming out. All the girls had DSLs. Old Cinemaphile liked this. Modern Cinemaphile will probably hate the gay stuff.
I remember these times. old Cinemaphile sucked really hard. it's not better nowadays, but Cinemaphile was never good
I would say mixed positive to old Cinemaphile. What we didn't have then were complete b***hes who wanted millage for some youtube channel for pol shit or leftypol shit. If you didn't like it, you fricked off to some other thread.
Who's this slampig and why is she so beautiful
>looks like your average bits of life graphic novel
Pretty much. Ross Campbell is however, a devotee and connoisseur of fat goth girls. Homeboy, or homegirl now I suppose loves fat goths harder than frank miller loves strippers and prostitutes.
Thank you for reminding me that Shortpacked existed.
Elecktra wasn’t a prostitute.
dude her name is elektra, come the frick on.
You mean Elektra?
They didn't call it Strawpacked for nothing.
The Alan Moore challenge: write a story without rape
id rather headbutt a pencil than endure reading this trite
She looks like she needs a shower.
In my sperm and piss
>that cover
>mfw
Who even wants this shit
fans of fat goths. People who bought IDW's jem...and that's pretty much it.
Did Brandon Graham ever put it in Sophie’s neo-vegana?
I'm surprised no one has paired Cleo Lovedrop and Mandy Koriand'r together
The artstyle in Wet Moon manages to be uglier than I Am Not Starfire. What an achievement!
No way. I Am Not Starfire is uglier still.
The OP art looks fine, but unless the art drastically improved over time, the actual comic is quite hard to look at.
I agree, but that Starfire comic is arguably worse.
The art styles of The Loud House and Rick & Morty are uglier by far
ugly troon sloppa
