What Can We Expect from Oni Press in June 2026?

June 2026 is the month Mind MGMT comes back. Matt Kindt’s psychic espionage series returns with a new #1 designed as a complete entry point: two detectives, a string of seemingly impossible murders, and the implication that the organization everyone thought was gone never actually stopped operating. The relaunch is built around an expansive variant program, with a die-cut Cover A, a blind bag Cover C, and numbered subsets that run from artist variants down to a hyper-rare edition limited to five copies. Oni is treating this as a summer event.

The rest of the month follows a thread that runs beneath the surface of several unrelated titles: characters at or near the end of something. Rick and Morty: The End wraps up at the adjacent publisher, but Oni’s own June slate reflects the same pattern independently. Three ongoing series reach penultimate or late-arc installments. Two miniseries approach their conclusions. The EC Comics anthologies push toward volume endings. June is a month for things that are almost finished.

EC Comics: The Anthology Engine

Catacomb of Torment #12 and Cruel Universe 2 #11 continue Oni’s EC Comics revival through the summer with rotating creator lineups and a format that has become one of the most consistent fixtures in their catalog. This month Catacomb pulls in David and Maria Lapham for their EC writing debut, alongside J. Holtham, David Rubín, and Alex Segura. Cruel Universe 2 reaches its penultimate issue, with Julio Anta, Maria Ingrande Mora, and Joshua Spiller carrying the anthology’s bleak science fiction horror toward its close. Both titles use the same visual grammar: EC homage variants, archive editions, and a Tormentor or cosmic framing that connects each issue to the revival’s larger identity.

Licensed and Creator-Owned: Five Series Running Out the Clock

Adventure Time takes two slots. The Pride Special is a 48-page standalone from Rosie Knight and Evgenia Vereli centered on Marceline and Princess Bubblegum, timed for Pride month. The ongoing series continues at #14 with Nick Winn navigating a multi-thread arc involving Simon, Betty, and a threat to Ooo. Murder Drones #5 is the penultimate issue of its miniseries, with writer Wyatt Kennedy and artist Jo Mi-Gyeong building toward a boss battle the solicitation telegraphs with unusual directness.

The creator-owned titles are all deep in their runs. Destination Kill #2 pushes Joe Palmer’s solo 22nd-century thriller forward through corporate violence and class conflict. Estuary: A Ghost Story #3 advances Tim Daniel, D. B. Andry, and Maan House’s California coastal horror toward its revelation. Dead Teenagers #4 is the second-to-last issue of Jude Ellison S. Doyle and Caitlin Yarsky’s time-loop slasher, with the central mystery of the loops close to breaking open.

Key Takeaways

• Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1 launches as Oni’s flagship summer release, with a die-cut cover and a numbered limited-edition variant program that runs to five copies at its rarest tier.
• The EC Comics revival continues with Catacomb of Torment #12 and Cruel Universe 2 #11, the latter the penultimate issue of its current volume, with David and Maria Lapham making their EC debut in the former.
• Adventure Time holds two slots in June: a standalone Pride Special and the ongoing series at issue #14.
• Three creator-owned series (Destination Kill, Estuary, Dead Teenagers) and Murder Drones are all in their final stretch, making June a month of conclusions building.
• Two European hardcover collections round out the month: Freaks’ Squeele Vol. 1 HC (Florent Maudoux’s manga-Western hybrid) and The Beast Vol. 2 HC (Zidrou and Frank Pé).

NEW AGENTS. NEW MISSION. NEW BEGINNING.

From New York Times best-selling cartoonist and multiple Eisner Award nominee Matt Kindt (BRZRKR, Dept. H), the defining statement on psychic espionage returns with an all-new, entirely self-contained entry point into the genre-bending, Eisner Award, nominated series that Entertainment Weekly calls “one of the most experimental and fascinating books in mainstream comics.”

Ten years ago, the extra-governmental agency known as Mind Management exploded in a barrage of bullets and brain matter. Those that survived have gone underground, forging new lives with unremarkable identities and falsified pasts to obfuscate the strange abilities that once made them highly prized assets in the global war for psychic control. Now, two investigators, Detective Delphi and Detective Swon, have found themselves at the center of an unexpected puzzle. Here: A man poisoned in a coffee shop with a sophisticated neurotoxin. There: A supposed suicide victim run over by a train . . . with his arms found in a trash can five miles from the tracks. Their connection: Someone is killing former Mind Management agents in improbable and arcane ways . . . Seemingly impossible crimes committed by a faceless killer capable of evading even the most pervasive digital surveillance. What secret are they killing to protect? Who will be next? Has Mind Management returned? Did it ever go away? You are paranoid . . . but are you paranoid enough?
