September will be a family-friendly month for Oni Press, as most of the books that don’t have Rick Sanchez on them are aimed at a young (or young at heart) audience.
A few years ago Brenna Thummler brought the world SHEETS, a charming graphic novel about a girl who finds a ghost hiding in her laundromat. Majorie agreed to help Wendell (the ghost) sort out his unfinished business, which it’s taken two books to do. The final book in the trilogy, LIGHTS, will be published September 6. Can Wendell finally solve the mystery of his own death — and if it was an accident?
Manga enthusiasts may want to look at TALLI DAUGHTER OF THE MOON VOL. 2, though it technically isn’t manga. It’s whatever French-Laotian comics are called! Princess Talli is a Summoner, part an elite group of magical women that certain groups in the world aren’t fond of. She and her friends are on the run from those trying to kill them, but between them and safe ground is the deadly Forbidden Forest. This epic second volume will be released September 27.
On the sillier side rests QUINNELOPE AND THE COOKIE KING CATASTROPHE, written and illustrated by HF Brownfield and Kayla Coombs. The pinkish blob ruler of Pleasant Town has woken up to discover all cookies have vanished from the kingdom. She gathers her friends Bub anf Star and sets off across a treacherous journey through food-themed environments to get the city’s precious cookies back. This book will be out September 20 at a price of $14.99.
Finally, RICK AND MORTY DELUXE DOUBLE FEATURE VOL 2 is a hardcover collection of the two most recently completed storylines from Oni’s Rick And Morty series: Worlds Apart and Corporate Assets. Whether they’re facing giant dragons or an army of business suits, you can be assured of the mix of dark comedy and sci-fi satire the brand is known for.
Oni’s full list of books for September lies below.
The long-awaited final installment in acclaimed cartoonist Brenna Thummler’s best-selling Sheets trilogy!
Marjorie Glatt’s life was forever changed the day she discovered a group of ghosts hiding in her family’s laundromat. One of those ghosts was Wendell, a lonely phantom turned Marjorie’s best friend. Wendell died far too young and now must wander the Land of Humans. He knows how he died, a tragic drowning accident, but lately he’s grown curious about his past life. He wants to know more about why he died, not just how he died. It’s not easy, though, since Wendell’s memory of his human life has grown increasingly blurry. When he hears a rumor about his death, Wendell wonders if it might not have been an accident after all. Joined by Marjorie and ghost enthusiast Eliza Duncan, Wendell learns that sometimes everything casts shadows, but if you look hard enough, you can find the light.
