Oni Press enters February 2026 with a slate that highlights the strength of its imprints and the continued growth of its creative identity. The month showcases a coordinated push across horror, licensed properties, all-ages storytelling, and prestige creator-owned work. Each line moves in a distinct direction, yet all share a clear editorial focus on craft, experimentation, and genre expansion.

Horror Leads Oni’s 2026 Slate

The EC line anchors the month with several major releases that deepen its modern revival. Tortured Hearts offers a seasonal one-shot built around dark romance themes, while Catacomb of Torment and Cruel Universe continue to evolve EC traditions through contemporary creators known for stylistic extremes. These books show how the EC imprint merges pulp structure with modern pacing and dense worldbuilding. February’s entries reinforce the idea that these stories function as commentaries on fear, social pressure, and the instability of the worlds their characters inhabit.

Oni’s creator-driven horror also expands through Autumn Kingdom: The Wraithbound Queen, which blends dark fantasy with mythic coming-of-age storytelling. Spirit of the Shadows continues this forward momentum with a retro-powered visual style and a story about loss, identity, and supernatural pursuit. These books show how Oni uses horror as both genre and emotional lens, often connecting personal transformation to monstrous forces.

Licensed Worlds Grow Across Sci-Fi, Animation, and Comedy

February also demonstrates how Oni balances licensed properties with its original work. Murder Drones brings Glitch Productions’ hit animated series into comics with a story that merges sci-fi action and teen-focused character drama. The adaptation expands the show’s lore and deepens themes of autonomy, survival, and artificial identity.

Elsewhere, Rick and Morty: The End continues the countdown toward the finale of Oni’s ten-year run with the franchise. The issue uses cosmic stakes and comedic escalation to examine the consequences of Rick’s destructive choices. Adventure Time returns with new stories centered on friendship, strange quests, and character-driven humor. These releases reaffirm Oni’s approach to licensed comics as narrative expansion rather than simple brand extension.

Oni also broadens its global licensing catalog with Ogrest and MFKZ, which introduce fantasy and urban sci-fi worlds built on international franchises. Both titles showcase Oni’s commitment to importing stylized storytelling from other media and translating it into serialized comics.

New Directions in All-Ages, Middle Grade, and Prestige Nonfiction

The month’s all-ages selections highlight adventure, rebellion, and emotional growth. Superpunk introduces a young podcaster who gains powers through a punk-infused twist on magical discovery. The Pancake Trap uses humor, mystery, and sibling dynamics to tell a family-driven story built around resilience. These books reflect Oni’s ongoing strategy to enrich its middle-grade catalog through hybrid genres and character-centered storytelling.

Prestige nonfiction also plays a major role through the Gender Queer: Annotated Edition. This expanded release adds scholarly commentary and creative reflections that contextualize the original memoir’s cultural importance. It reinforces Oni’s broader interest in blending education, personal narrative, and artistic analysis.

RPG Expansions and Cross-Media Worldbuilding

Oni and Magnetic Press continue building a tabletop publishing pillar with the Planet of the Apes RPG core rulebook and the ANSA Sourcebook. These books deepen the franchise’s mythos through timelines, character classes, and systems built for long-form storytelling. Oni’s RPG line reflects a trend toward immersive, multimedia worldbuilding that sits beside its comics output rather than behind it.

In the far future on the desolate exoplanet designated Copper 9, the humans are long gone but the robotic worker drones they created to mine the planet’s resources are still hard at work. Together, they have managed to forge their own makeshift society . . . or so they thought until a previously unknown kind of robot – the dreaded “Disassembly Drones” – are activated by the mega-corporation JC Jenson to disassemble any worker that deviates from its original programming. But when a rebellious young worker drone named Uzi forms an unlikely alliance with two disassembly drones – Serial Designations N and V-can they, together, uncover the secrets of their origins . . . and stop the spread of the unsettling mechanical virus known as the Absolute Solver?

Robots, violence, teen angst, mad science, love, loss, doors, hormones, and chaos! What more could you ask for? A pen, perhaps? It’s a clicky pen! (Ask your kids. They’ll get it!)

GENDER QUEER: THE ANNOTATED EDITION HC | Oni Press Comics Solicitations February 2026

• ADVANCE SOLICIT
• WRITTEN, ART, AND COVER BY MAIA KOBABE

Dig deeper into one of the most banned books in America with this annotated edition of Maia Kobabe’s seminal autobiographical work.

In 2014, Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e would ever write. At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Then e created Gender Queer. Maia’s intensely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fan fiction, and facing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears. Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: It is a useful and touching guide on gender identity, what it means and how to think about it, for advocates, friends, and humans everywhere.

This special annotated edition calls on voices from academic and creative communities to further shed light on Kobabe’s work, exploring the technicalities of comic creation, the history of the LGBTQIA+ community, and highlighting personal anecdotes from a host of writers and artists discussing their own experiences growing up queer. Featuring commentary from designer and animator Phoebe Kobabe (The ABCs of Identities), cartoonist Ashley R. Guillory (Queers at the Table), Dr. Sandra Cox (professor of English at Southwest Missouri State University), Matthew Noe (Lead Collection & Knowledge Management Librarian at Harvard Medical School), author Hal Schrieve (Fawn’s Blood), and many more, this beautiful hardcover edition promises to be a wonderful educational tool for years to come.

THE ROLE-PLAYING GAME OF THE PLANET OF THE APES CORE RULEBOOK HC

• WRITTEN BY ANDREW E.C. GASKA, & E.L. THOMAS
• ART BY CHRIS SCALF, RUNA I. ROSENBERGER, CHANDRA FREE, & SHANE MOLINA
• COVER BY BILL SIENKIEWICZ | Oni Press Comics Solicitations February 2026

The global sensation of the Planet of the Apes comes to tabletop in this official role-playing game!

The Role-Playing Game of the Planet of the Apes will challenge every idea you have ever had about a role-playing game. You will be thrust onto a planet where humans are the lowest order of living things and the superior beings are apes. It’s the evolutionary process, but in reverse.

Become an intellectual chimpanzee who seeks to better apekind through science and exploration. Choose an orangutan statesape whose weapons are philosophical debate, political savvy, and the power of the Sacred Scrolls themselves. Perhaps a gorilla soldier is more your style, honor-bound to protect Ape City and lead aggressive expansions into new territories. What else, if not an ape? Be a time-lost astronaut struggling to grasp a world gone insane. Become a mute tribal human forced to scavenge for resources as you are hunted by murderous gorillas on horseback. The rules even allow you to play mutant survivors who use the power of their minds to turn their enemies against each other.

Built on the official Magnetic Variant (D6MV) of the classic D6 System role-playing game rules created by West End Games, The Role-Playing Game of the Planet of the Apes is easy to learn yet full of challenges to master. With settings and lore written by sci-fi novelist Andrew E.C. Gaska, this core rulebook contains all you need to role-play in this upside-down world where apes evolved from humans:

• • Detailed histories and lore from Planet of the Apes
  • 24 character classes to choose from
  • Optional Stun and Encumbrance Rules
  • SRP Defenses create fast-paced combat
  • Extraordinary Abilities give your PCs an edge
  • Quirks and Expectations help define character motivation
  • Statistics for the mutated monstrosities that lurk in the Forbidden Zone
  • Plus a host of new Gear and Weaponry that will help turn this upside-down world right
  • Compatible with all Magnetic Press Play’s West End Games D6 products
