by Josh Finney & Kat Rocha
In the near future, science is able to distill human personalities into a drug-form. Called utopiates –a merging of the words utopia and opiate– these drugs allow users to swap personalities with the “mental imprints” of other people. Each is a user of Utopiates for their own reasons, but all learn the cost of soul swapping is extremely high. At its core, this series is an unflinching portrayal of human behavior at its most extreme. Issue #1,
"A Moment of Clarity," follows a street kid and his journey down a dark and slippery path.

You think your job is bad? Doug and Manny have you beat! These guys are janitors! But they’re not your typical custodial crew–no, sir! They’re the guys who keep things shiny and clean at TerroMax, Inc., the world’s biggest and best evil science think tank! When they’re not dealing with toxic spill monsters and talking mansharks, they still have to worry about mad scientists, crazy would-be dictators, and the cute girl who works at reception! Fresh talent Jim Massey & Robbi Rodriguez have created the funniest, most outlandish Oni Press series since BARRY WEEN!
