About: Wet Moon

Wet Moon is a series of graphic novels by Sophie Campbell and published by Oni Press with an "O (Older Audiences)" rating. Primarily set in the fictional southern American college town of Wet Moon, the series stars a large cast of characters, most in their late teens and early twenties, with many into the Goth subculture and other Alternative cultures. Early chapters of Wet Moon begin with quoted lyrics from gothic and alternative bands such as Bella Morte. The mostly-female cast is notable for its diversity of body types, including those with disabilities (e.g., cojoined twins). They struggle mightily with relationships (with parents, siblings, friends, and lovers), with LGBTQ issues prominent. Conversely, while the cast is racially diverse, race and class concerns are not much expressed.
