The
Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius (3-issue mini).
[From Oni Press: Meet Barry Ween, the smartest living human. What
does a ten-year-old boy do with a 350 I.Q.? Any thing he wants. Cranky,
egotistical, arrogant and foul-mouthed, Barry in general wants to conduct
his experiments and be left alone, but it never seems to work out. Hurdles
that Barry must outmaneuver range from time warps, to art thieves, to accidentally
turning his best friend into a dinosaur.] |
The
Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius 2.0 (3-issue mini).
[From Oni Press: Barry Ween is every boy's fantasy personified. His
intellect is beyond any that has existed before. In his presence, Einstein
looks like a moron. Working in the secret lab in the back of his house,
Barry slowly inches towards dominating the world, and he would, too, if
the laws of chaos weren't so strongly enforced. Protecting obnoxious aliens
seeking asylum, getting transported to the pedophilic old west, being kidnapped
by bungling government agents - it's all par for the course with Barry.
It's tough being ten years old and smarter than everyone else, but no one
is going to attack the task with as much gusto as Barry Ween. A hilarious
experiment mixing mad scientist movies, the Little Rascals, and words little
kids aren't supposed to say.] |
Monkey
Tales (Monkey Tales 1-3). [From Oni Press:
Barry Ween is back with his third collection of hilarious comic book stories!
And this time, he's bringing monkeys! As you may know, Barry Ween is the
world's smartest human being. His big brain, as his best friend Jeremey
calls it, has a limitless capacity for knowledge. Better yet, Barry has
no problem putting that knowledge to use. That's pretty cool when you consider
the fact that he's only ten years old. Unfortunately, when you have that
kind of smarts, trouble is nearly a foregone conclusion - and boy howdy,
does Barry get in trouble! Giant, talking gorillas from other dimensions;
drunken, smelly clans of Bigfeet; and a germ-filled monkey looking to cause
the next outbreak - these are things that Barry has just come to accept
as normal. Heck, compared to such frightening childhood rites of passage
as girls and the first school dance, Barry would take all three scenarios
without blinking. The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius 3: Monkey Tales
comes packed full of laughs from everyone's favorite foul-mouthed super-brain.
A must for any humor connoisseur.] |
Gorilla
Warfare (Monkey Tales 4-6). [From Oni Press:
Barry Ween is back in his biggest adventure yet! For the uninitiated, Barry
Ween is the smartest boy the world has ever known - a position that certainly
has its perks. What other ten-year-old boy has unlimited access to cutting
edge technology, hidden ancient secrets, and real nude photos of celebrities?
But, it's not all cool gadgets and lingerie, Barry has to contend with mutated
babysitters, talking gorillas, and a weird alternate dimension with a strangely
familiar warrior woman. Gorilla Warfare sees Barry's massive intellect put
to the test as he struggles to get himself and his best friend Jeremy home
from a primitive world filled with barbarian hordes, ancient prophecies
and a manipulative ape god!] |
