Ray Fawkes tells 18 tales in 'One Soul'

Oni Press has unveiled Ray Fawkes' forthcoming One Soul original graphic novel.

The book will tell the story of 18 characters in a series of double page spreads, each split into 18 panels with one for each tale.

"Part of what's so amazing about One Soul is that it can really only be done in comics," said Oni editor-in-chief James Lucas Jones. "Initially you'll read the book as you would any other comic, panel to panel, page to page, to get one story. But you're also reading eighteen separate stories. Reading One Soul is an indescribable experience."

"They're all very different," said Fawkes of the characters. "You could read them separately, read their lives one panel at a time, but when you put them together and see their differences and their common points, you catch a glimpse of a greater scope.

"The characters, through their frustrations and triumphs, are asking and answering big questions and, in a way, in cartooning One Soul, I'm trying to do the same for myself."

The OGN was announced at Chicago's C2E2 convention. It will be released in July.
