About eight years back, I reviewed Weapon Brown, a one-shot comic that collected and expanded Jason Yungbluth’s take on the Peanuts characters having grown up in a post-apocalyptic world. While I thought he did the work to find ways of combining those two realms, my review was summarized by “But not being actually funny nor actually serving the adventure needs, 48 pages of it seems a mite much.”

Well, it turns out that the creator didn’t think so, and he kept going on with the work… enough that last year, he issued the Weapon Brown Omnibus, a 416 page book that appears to not be all Weapon Brown – notes on the creator’s website suggest that it has more of his comics as well as other bonus features in it – but still has a substantial expansion of that material, with him bringing many non-Peanuts strip characters in for the ride. I haven’t yet laid my hands on this volume, but those who are interested may want to check out this video for an animated taste of it.
