Editing Oni Press (section)

==Overview==
The company name derives from ''[[oni]]'', the word for the ogre demons popular in [[Japanese folklore]].<ref name="faq">{{cite web |title=FAQ |url=http://onipress.tumblr.com/FAQ |website=Onipress.com}}</ref> 

Oni Press used the term "real mainstream," coined by [[Stephen L. Holland]] of the UK comic shop Page 45,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ninthart.com/display.php?article=571 |title=Guest Editorial: The Real Mainstream |last=Holland |first=Stephen |date=June 6, 2003 |work=Ninth Art |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080113050018/http://www.ninthart.com/display.php?article=571 |archive-date=January 13, 2008 |url-status=dead |access-date=February 14, 2007 }}</ref> to suggest that the subject matter it publishes is more in line with the popular genres of other media, such as [[Thriller (genre)|thriller]]s, [[Romance novel|romance]]s and realistic [[drama]]. For the most part, Oni Press avoids publishing [[superhero]] titles, unless interesting creators approach these concepts from an unusual angle. However, at one point, [[Rich Johnston]] of [[Comics Bulletin#Former column: All The Rage|''All The Rage'']] reported that Oni Press and [[Marvel Comics]] were creating a publishing deal for Oni creators to work on Marvel superhero characters, but the deal fell apart.<ref>[http://www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com/rage/101393496211709.htm "All The Rage: You Could Put Your Eye Out With That - Update"].

Oni Press publishes few comic books on an ongoing monthly basis - [[Marc Guggenheim]]'s ''Resurrection'', [[Antony Johnston]] and Christopher Mitten's ''[[Wasteland (comic)|Wasteland]]'' and Brian Hurrt and [[Cullen Bunn]]'s ''Sixth Gun''. [[Greg Rucka]]'s ''[[Queen & Country]]'' was published monthly from 2001 to 2007. Most of its titles are either irregular recurring miniseries, often published in four to six monthly installments, or [[graphic novel|original graphic novels]].{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}}

Oni Press material initially released as comic books is usually later collected into [[trade paperback (comics)|trade paperbacks]]. They have published well over 100 titles,<ref>{{cite web|title=List of titles by Oni Press|work=Comic Book DB|url=http://www.comicbookdb.com/publisher.php?ID=34 | access-date=February 11, 2007}}</ref> with multiple books undergoing reprints due to sustained popularity. {{Citation needed|date=August 2007}} Several of their books have won the [[Eisner Award]] including: [[Bryan Lee O'Malley]]'s ''[[Scott Pilgrim]]'', [[Rick Spear]] and [[Chuck BB]]'s ''Black Metal'', [[Hope Larson]]'s ''Grey Horses'', and [[Greg Rucka]]'s ''[[Whiteout: Melt]]'' and ''Queen & Country'', with many more receiving nominations.
