Has anybody ever heard of Oni Press? It's mostly Americanized manga, but does anybody read any of the series from it?

What are the titles that Oni Press prints? I don't always pay attention to the publisher, just the story.

I would hardly call most of their titles "americanized manga." Even some of them are heavily influenced by manga they're much more akin to indie comics than anything TOkyopop puts out. Reguardless, they're a great company. I'd highly recommend any of their series, in particular Scott Pilgrim, Local, Little Star or Queen and Country.

Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob, and Oni Double Feature w/ Bluntman and Chronic are my faves from Oni. 
They are not Americanized manga.

Scott Pilgrim is my hero. I'm still waiting for the new graphic novel... More comics should be about evil ex-boyfriends.

Oh, I was using Americanized manga as an insult, I just labelled it as that so this wasn't totally off-topic and could be in the manga forums.

I've definately heard of the Oni Press. (Mainly publishing what would be seen as odd and unaccepted by other publishing companies.) Currently, Scott Pilgrim seems to be a big hit. I personally haven't read it, but reading some reviews, it seems to be pretty awesome.
