About the series
Judd Winick’s The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius 2.0 is a follow-up series from Oni Press that picks up the story of a foul-mouthed, hyper-intelligent kid and his best friend Jeremy. Running three issues from 2000 onward, Winick writes and draws this continuation with the same blend of crude humor, genuine friendship, and wild sci-fi antics that defined the original. It matters as a sharp, self-contained example of early-2000s indie comics, where creator-owned work could balance toilet jokes with surprisingly heartfelt character moments.
