What’s new from Oni Press in October 2025?

Oni Press’s October 2025 solicitations deliver a packed slate of ambitious new comics, returning favorites, and genre-spanning surprises. From paranormal thrillers to holiday horror, this month marks a high point in the publisher’s push into prestige storytelling, creator-driven visions, and resurrected cult properties.

High Strangeness Leads With Paranormal Prestige

Topping this month’s releases is High Strangeness Book One – 1967, a bold collaboration between SpectreVision (Elijah Wood’s production house), Oni Press, and a revolving creative cast. This debut is inspired by documented cases of paranormal phenomena, beginning with a haunting tale set in 1960s Indiana. Written by Daniel Noah and Chris Condon with art by Dave Chisholm, the issue mixes UFO conspiracy, Men in Black intrigue, and eerie Americana. Each installment also includes an essay from Euphomet’s Jim Perry exploring real-world cases. Priced at $7.99 for a 40-page prestige-format release, the series is poised to become a cult hit.

Another one-shot of note is Cult of the Lamb: Schism Special #1, expanding the chaotic digital cult phenomenon with a 48-page new story. With famine threatening the Lamb’s growing flock, tensions rise and new challengers emerge. Alex Paknadel and Troy Little return to dissect belief, power, and indoctrination with twisted charm.

EC Comics Revival Brings Bloody Anthologies and Western Mayhem

Oni Press continues its homage to EC Comics with Outlaw Showdown #1, a 56-page Western revenge anthology from creators like Brian Azzarello, Tony Moore, and Ann Nocenti. The oversized format and variant-heavy presentation pay tribute to EC’s golden age while reimagining the genre for modern readers.

Meanwhile, the monthly horror anthology Catacomb of Torment #4 slashes forward with tales of twisted murders and supernatural revenge. With writers John Arcudi, Patricia A. Jackson, and Amy Roy at the helm, the book blends black humor with EC-style horror theatrics.

Science fiction horror fans also get a new issue of the Eisner-nominated Cruel Universe 2 #3, offering dystopian tales from Cecil Castellucci, Sarah Gailey, and Rian Hughes. These anthologies prove Oni’s EC line is more than nostalgia, it’s a platform for boundary-pushing creators and experimental formats.

Holiday Horror and Cow-Based Justice Bring Variety

In a tonal shift, Yuletide #1 launches a holiday horror-adventure in the vein of The Goonies and Goosebumps. Created by George Northy and Rachele Aragno, it explores the ancient, monstrous roots of Christmas as three teens in a Pennsylvania town accidentally unleash a pagan darkness.

More lighthearted, but no less intense, is Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa #2, concluding the revival of the cult 1990s animated series. Moo Montana faces betrayal and justice in Cowtown, courtesy of writer Matt Hotson and artist Juan Gedeon.

Hotson also pens Biker Mice From Mars #5, a jumping-on point for the new arc “Mars Under Siege.” This entry pits the biker trio against Detonator the Cruel and raises the stakes as the RoboForce crossover continues.

Expanding Universes and Standalone Specials

Adventure Time #6 deepens its serialized arc with The Lich now possessing Finn. The rotating creative team keeps the tone fresh while delivering emotional weight and magical weirdness. Elsewhere, Skin Police 2 #2 explores a clone-policing dystopia on the brink, while Cemetery Kids Run Rabid #3 dives further into cyberpunk horror.

Rick and Morty fans have much to look forward to, with the final issue of Rick and Morty vs. The Universe #4 promising annihilation, or redemption. A one-shot tie-in, Last Mort Standing, focuses on a multiversal Morty deathmatch, and a massive Rick and Morty 10th Anniversary Omnibus Vol. 4 collects stories from the long-running series.

Graphic Novels and Advance Solicitations Round Out the Slate

Oni’s February 2026 advance titles include several major graphic novels. The First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth celebrates the real-life activist who helped push Juneteenth into national recognition. This biographical work is offered in both softcover and hardcover formats.

Other highlights include Skullkickers: Compact Attack Edition Vol. 1, Covenant Vol. 4, Small Favors (a new edition of Colleen Coover’s erotic classic), and Free For All, a satirical dystopia from Patrick Horvath. Video game tie-ins Ogrest Vol. 1 and MFKZ Vol. 2 round out the multimedia appeal.

Key Takeaways

• High Strangeness and Cult of the Lamb headline a supernatural-heavy slate.
• EC Comics revival continues with Outlaw Showdown, Catacomb of Torment, and Cruel Universe.
• Holiday horror (Yuletide) and ’90s cartoon revivals bring tonal range.
• Rick and Morty closes a major arc with one-shot tie-ins and an omnibus.
• February 2026 advance GNs spotlight history, erotica, and webtoon adaptations.

Investigating a Mystery

Chicago, 1967. Magazine writer Harry Kean is dispatched to rural Indiana to investigate the sudden disappearance of Becky Plume, a local teenager who stepped into the national spotlight with staggering photographic evidence of a recent UFO sighting. Frustrated to leave his developing stories in Chicago, and the wife he’s hoping to win back, Harry sets off to expose a hoax but instead finds himself in a labyrinth of high strangeness involving a missing girl, her boyfriend, a UFO, and some mysterious black- clad visitors circling at the perimeter of a mystery more vast than Harry could possibly imagine.

Told across five interconnected, prestige-format issues that will interlock to reveal an ambitious, dimension-spanning finale, each chapter of HIGH STRANGENESS also includes a feature-length essay by podcaster and researcher Jim Perry (Euphomet) on the historical facts and documentary evidence underpinning the phenomena detailed in each issue.

When famine strikes the cult, a challenger to Lamb’s mantle emerges, and a new struggle begins . .

Have you ever wondered why our brightly colored and joyously cheerful Christmas festivities are held at the peak of winter’s frigid darkness? That is no mere coincidence, and now the truth about the monsters the yuletide holds at bay will finally be revealed in a gleaming gift of epic holiday adventure from creators George Northy (EC’s Shiver SuspenStories) and Rachele Aragno (Leonide the Vampyr)!

Welcome to the small town of Christmas, Pennsylvania, the merriest place on Earth . . . or so they’d like everyone to think. When December rolls around, these folks pull out all the stops for America’s biggest, brightest holiday display . . . but not everyone in Christmas, PA, is so enthusiastic. Teens Jake, Abe, and Wyn are more interested in the dark side of the holiday that their parents like to pretend doesn’t exist . . . The ancient legends of mythic monsters and pagan pandemonium that are deeply tied to the festival’s long-forgotten origins. So when their hobby leads them to an abandoned wing of the local Christmas museum to investigate, they’ll discover an ancient relic that, when activated, will bring a furious procession of yuletide horrors long since banished from our plane, and with it, a darkness that has been waiting centuries for its chance to overtake the world!

In the tradition The Goonies, Hocus Pocus, and Goosebumps, the countdown to Christmas starts now as Yuletide presents the first three extra-sized, 40-page issues unleashing a monstrous new kind of holiday tale for readers young and old!

FIRST FREEDOM: THE STORY OF OPAL LEE AND JUNETEENTH SC ADVANCE SOLICIT | ONI PRESS SOLICITATIONS OCTOBER 2025

• WRITTEN BY ANGÉLIQUE ROCHÉ
• ART BY ALVIN EPPS, BEX GLENDINING & MILLICENT MONROE
• COVER BY ALVIN EPPS

The incredible journey of activist Opal Lee– known as the Grandmother of Juneteenth, is brought to life in this biographical graphic novel that not only explores Opal’s remarkable path, but the history of the holiday of Juneteenth itself.

From the 1860s to Ms. Opal’s childhood home, from her years as a teacher to the White House, The First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth seeks to give readers an insight into the history behind one of the central figures in the creation of America’s newest federal holiday, Juneteenth.

Born in 1926, Opal Lee grew up in a racially divided America and dedicated her life to overcoming the obstacles presented therein. A lifelong educator, Ms. Opal has been a community activist all her life, and would take on the movement to celebrate and commemorate Juneteenth not just as a holiday, but as a symbol of comprehensive freedom for all people.

Ms. Opal’s life personifies the fight for everyday freedom that leads to lasting change. As the Grandmother of Juneteenth says, “There is so much more to do.”

Written by acclaimed journalist, producer, and author Angélique Roché (My Super Hero is Black) and drawn by a trio of talented artists, including Alvin Epps (I Survived Hurricane Katrina, 2005: A Graphic Novel), Bex Glendining (the upcoming On Starlit Shores), and rising star Millicent Monroe, The First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth promises to illuminate the life of a singular woman and the history of a momentous holiday, with additional back matter providing more insights into Juneteenth’s history and the making of this graphic novel tribute.

SMALL FAVORS: THE DEFINITIVE GIRLY PORNO COLLECTION NEW EDITION SC ADVANCE SOLICIT

• WRITTEN/ART/COVER BY COLLEEN COOVER | ONI PRESS SOLICITATIONS OCTOBER 2025

Collecting Eisner Award–winning illustrator Colleen Coover’s scintillating tale of sapphic friendship, love, and orgasmic indulgence in one softcover volume for the first time!

Small Favors explores the playfully erotic romance between a highly aroused young woman, Annie, and the coquettish, pocket-size manifestation of her conscience, Nibbil. As a Cosmic Keeper of Annie’s Conscience, it’s Nibbil’s job to pull Annie’s mind out of the gutter, which is unfortunately the one place she’s bound (consentingly) and determined (begging) to stay herself. Encouragement turns to dripping excess as Annie and Nibbil learn that maybe all you can do in the face of temptation is give in to yourself . . . and your friends.

This collection includes the full-color eighth issue of the original run, early character sketches and extra comics, and an introduction from writer Kelly Sue DeConnick (Bitch Planet, Wonder Woman Historia).

Reigning champion and real estate magnate Ted Brooks has 22 victories under his belt, defending the wealth he schemed and stabbed to get, when he is forced to face his ex-wife, Luella Dominguez, in a fight to the death. Luella has been training, waiting for this moment. But will she have what it takes to defeat the man who would do anything, absolutely anything, to keep his fortune? It’s every shareholder for themselves when death and bankruptcy collide!
