Oni Press Solicitations January 2024

Oni Press plans to kick off 2024 with a mix of faces both new and old.

Presenting a new story for the new year: JILL AND THE KILLERS! Everyone at Jill Estrada’s high school is playing the new true-crime game Box Killers, but after Jill is finally convinced to play, her own personal game seems to be getting a bit….TOO personal. The clues she’s receiving in the game seem to coincide with disappearances in her town, and now Jill and her friends could be next — if they can’t uncover the truth. The first of four issues for JILL AND THE KILLERS will be jumbo-sized at 48 pages and will be released January 31.

The first-ever sequel to a Rick and Morty miniseries will arrive in January: Maximum Crescendo. Concerto and Chickenskin Dogskull are back and seeking revenge against Sanchez. The 40-page first issue will be out January 14 and is expected to contain a lot of music puns.

Oni Press is the birthplace of cult movie (and soon to be television) character Scott Pilgrim. He got his start as a manga-sized comic from Oni, and to celebrate his Netflix series, the publisher presents the Precious Little Slipcase Collection. All six volumes in digest size are included in this special new slipcase that also holds an exclusive poster. The package will cost $89.99 and should be out January 31.

Finally, all three volumes of BROBOTS are now in one book! What are BROBOTS? They’re what they sound like — three robots that are the best of bros. Joukei, Kouro and Panchi team up to defend the citizens of Brotown from anything that threatens it — like giant mechs, fearsome naiju, or anything else. Created and written by J. Torres, the complete BROBOTS will be sold starting January 17.
