Oni Press spends September tending other publishers’ history. Archie #1 opens a new ongoing series and starts a countdown to the character’s 85th anniversary. Two curated collections ship beside it. The EC line closes Catacomb of Torment, relaunches Cruel Kingdom, and reprints its Eisner-nominated revival at treasury size.
That puts two older publishers’ catalogs, Archie Comics and EC Comics, at the center of one Oni month. The creator-owned side answers with a Christian Ward launch and a Matt Kindt double bill.
Ben H. Winters writes and Fábio Moon draws the new Archie ongoing. Oni calls it “the milestone comics publishing event of the year.” The story sends Archie through Riverdale’s past, present, and future. It starts at a local film festival and a paradox only Jughead Jones can unravel. Twelve covers ship with the first issue, two foils and a 1:250 black-and-white among them.
The launch arrives flanked by history. Tom King, screenwriter of the upcoming Archie film, joins Dan Parent to curate Archie: The Decision & Other Stories. Their own answer to the Betty-or-Veronica question opens the book. Archie: New Riverdale Compact Edition reprints the 2015 Mark Waid and Fiona Staples relaunch and starts a new compact line.
Catacomb of Torment #15 closes the anthology with a 40-page finale. The solicitation is upfront that the Tormentor “won’t be gone for long,” and the hosts are already teasing “a new legend of lethality” to follow. James Robinson joins Jordan Clark, Jude Ellison S. Doyle, and Sina Grace for the send-off.
Cruel Kingdom 2 #1 restarts the fantasy anthology. David M. Booher, Matt Bors, and Doyle write; Ryan Kelly, Lukas Ketner, and David Lapham draw. The first EC Comics Treasury of Terror reprints stories from across the revival’s titles at 10″ x 14″. Lapham draws in all three EC books this month; Doyle writes in two.
Three creator-owned books lock their casts inside something. In The Forever Home #1, writer Christian Ward and artist Sami Kivelä seal the D’mour family into a luxury ark. Twenty minutes pass inside for every year outside, until something out there wants back in. Fort Psycho #2 keeps Jason in an island prison of former agents, hunting the Seven Seals’ hidden leader. Super Mondo Mega Mutts #3 opens with the Mutts held for “test research” in a Grey Cube Corporation facility.
Matt Kindt writes Fort Psycho and writes and draws Mind MGMT: New & Improved #4. In the second book, Swon learns Mind Management itself may be the root of his missing memories. Faceless and the Family: Maze of the Mechanical Aliens #3 stays with the aftermath: Sasha fights for her life; Carp turns to the alien mech suit.
Adventure Time gets its first Halloween special from Jeremy Melloul and Adam Seats. In the 48-page one-shot, a fine-print guild quest turns Finn and Jake into the dungeon’s monsters. Yuletide: Curse of the Winter Witch ships the same month. The holiday horror adventure takes place in Christmas, Pennsylvania, and claims The Goonies and Hocus Pocus as its tradition.
BMO gets the spotlight chapter of Adventure Time: Quadruple Feature #3. The Marceline-centered Adventure Time Compendium Vol. 4 arrives in softcover alongside a comic-shop-exclusive hardcover. Biker Mice from Mars: Scorch #2 pushes Scratch further toward becoming Scorch. The Planet of the Apes RPG Solo Rulebook brings single-player rules to the tabletop line.
The month’s graphic novels share nothing but a shelf. A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts sets conspiracy and faded superheroics in the ’90s Washington, D.C., punk scene. Animation director Jonathan Djob Nkondo’s Peaceful Remission watches an elderly couple’s marriage strain inside a satellite home. Freaks’ Squeele Vol. 4 continues Florent Maudoux’s hero-college series. Ileana Surducan’s Eisner-nominated The Lost Sunday arrives in softcover, a folk tale of a girl stealing Sunday back from a witch.

Famed scientist Henry D’mour tried to save the world. He failed. But, in a desperate bid to save himself, his wife, and their two children, he constructed THE FOREVER HOME, an ark of luxury and ultramodern convenience insulated from the agony of the planet’s death throes outside its walls . . . and even time itself. Inside THE FOREVER HOME, only 20 minutes pass for every year on the outside . . . allowing the D’mour family to slowly enact their plans for a new world as their automated environment and robotic companions keep them safe. Safe on the inside. Always inside. Until a childish misstep accidentally breaks THE FOREVER HOME’s barrier… and what’s outside decides it wants back in . . .

But their seemingly harmless hobby leads them to a discovery which unleashes a furious procession of yuletide horrors once banished from our plane, a darkness that has been waiting centuries for its chance to overtake the world!
In the tradition of The Goonies, Hocus Pocus, and The Nightmare Before Christmas, Yuletide: Curse of the Winter Witch is a haunting holiday tale unleashing a monstrous new kind of seasonal tradition on readers young and old!

The Solo Play Rulebook includes everything needed to create single-player RPG adventures on the Planet of the Apes!
The book features design tools and guides to empower both new and experienced gamers to modify existing multicharacter scenarios for individual play and craft all-new solo epics utilizing an ingenious mix of oracles, emulator tables, and quick-reference charts. These resources can also be used by Lawgivers to quickly forge plots and conflicts for their player groups, ideal for when they don’t have a lot of preparation time to stage a game. Each of the three complete adventures included in the book embodies a different play style, from murder mystery narratives with set paths to randomized, improv-powered stories created on the fly with dice and encounter tables. This book requires the Role-Playing Game of the Planet of the Apes Core Rulebook for play.
Animation director Jonathan Djob Nkondo (Scavenger’s Reign, Gorillaz) tells a melancholy tale of life in a space-faring future. Set in a sleek satellite home orbiting Earth, Peaceful Remission follows elderly couple Marlène and Jerry Nomo, whose quiet life is disrupted by a mysterious nighttime rumble. But the real tension lies not in the noise but in Marlène’s simmering frustration with Jerry’s passivity. The incident becomes a catalyst for emotional confrontation, revealing the cracks in their long-standing relationship. When Jerry’s obsession with a recent discovery leaves Marlene responsible for his health and well-being, their seemingly ordinary tasks, shopping, driving, caregiving, are refracted through a surreal, futuristic lens, emphasizing the emotional weight of routine and the quiet heroism of unspoken love.
Encapsulating themes of conjugal fatigue, silent devotion, and the illusion of tranquility, this surreal, contemplative work is told through clean, futuristic interiors contrasted with intimate character framing. In this fragmented yet lyrical tale that alternates between dialogue and silent observation, Jonathan Nkondo uses the sterile calm of space as a metaphor for emotional distance, crafting a story that feels both timeless and eerily current.
Florent Maudoux’s madcap hero college series continues, and the mysteries deepen! Join Shadow, the big-hearted werewolf; Chance, the mischievous demon girl; and Xiong Mao, the expert fighter, in the craziest and longest chase ever told in the West!

At this university, special individuals learn how to manage their powers as well as their public image, both necessary to obtain a superhero license . . . whether through the use of supernatural magic or special genetic features, the students have a lot of history to overcome, both personal and social.
