Oni Press Solicitations May 2024

Oni Press has released the list of comics they plan to release in the month of May. Even in the middle of winter, Oni is preparing for a long, hot, and possibly even toxic summer. Because “TOXIC SUMMER” is the name of one of their new books. Ben and Leo are two party-animal teens who just graduated high school and have three months of whooping it up by the beach planned….until said beach becomes the site for a radioactive waste spill. Soon hideous monsters start emerging from the goop, and they now have a lot more to deal with than cheap expired beer! The first of three issues telling this story will be out May 1. At first glance we thought “TOXIC SUMMER” would be a Rick and Morty book. Alas, there is no comic this month where Summer has to fight monsters, but there is the continued KINGDOM BALLS, a simultaneous parody of Japanese manga and video games in one. The third issue comes out June 26 and features

Oni Press has a lot lined up for the month of April, from barbarians to robots to everything in between. It was a time long ago…a time of barbarians, of monsters and gods, when one man with a bad temper and a lot of muscles decided to fight everyone — no, we’re not talking about Conan the Barbarian, but close enough. This is the ancient African version…It’s AKOGUN: BRUTALIZEFR OF GODS! He’s challenged the divine to an all-out brawl to the death…who will emerge victorious? The guy on the cover, or someone else? (Probably the guy on the cover.) The tale will be told in three issues, the first of which goes on sale April 3. April is also the month you’ll meet the ROBOFORCE! This stylish throwback to the toyetic worlds of 80s cartoons won’t just be a comic book…there’s an animated series in the works starring Dwayne Johnson! Join Maxx 89 and Detonator as they fight to keep the peace in the technological future in this first of

There’s a lot going on in Oni Press’s list of March 2024 titles….murder, robots, and dream balls. What is the NacelleVerse? It appears to be an Oni Press offshoot that deals entirely in properties based on toy figures. Five titles have been announced so far, from the familiar (Biker Mice From Mars), to the obscure (Sectaurs), to the “never heard of it” (Robo Force, The Great Garloo). The seeds for everything will be planted in NacelleVerse #0, where the Biker Mice meet Garloo and the Robo Force gang. The issue will be written by Melissa Flores (Power Rangers, The Dead Lucky) with art by Diogenes Neves (Realm of X, Suicide Squad), Francis Portela (Green Lantern, Faith), and some unlisted people, and will be released March 20. Oni plans to support the NacelleVerse project for at least one year and they have opened preorders for the entire line. Anyone who does will get exclusive editions of all the issues, plus a figure of Terbl, the villain from Robo Force. Barry Gifford

Oni Presents ODB Graphic Novel On Kickstarter

Oni Presents ODB Graphic Novel On Kickstarter

, , , , , , 2

Oni Press has announced a special book: their first to be promoted through a Kickstarter preorder campaign. It’s about ODB. If you don’t know who that is, read on… Russell Jones was born on the streets of Brooklyn and grew up to become one of the founding members of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan. We wouldn’t have him for very long — he died at 35 — but he had a robust and successful career in his short life, branching off into solo albums under the name Ol Dirty Bastard (or ODB for you overprotective parents out there). 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of ODB’s death, and Oni is preparing a graphic novel in his honor. ODB: Oddities, Discord and B-Sides – Lyrical Ruckus in the City is an anthology book hosted by ODB himself. How has he appeared from beyond the grave? Time travel and alternate dimensions. “In a fractured New York City, an elemental impact event has caused different versions of the city’s most infamous neighborhoods from across the

It’s time for the Oni Press Solicitations February 2024. Here’s what Oni Press has planned for next February’s graphic novel entertainment. Have you been enjoying Scott Pilgrim Takes Off on Netflix? It was one of the series that put Oni on the map nearly twenty years ago (yikes). In 2024 it’ll be precisely 20 years since the first volume of Scott’s adventure came out, and to celebrate, Oni is preparing a 20th Anniversary Box Set in both color and black-and-white variants. The boxes contain the entire series in hardcover, a compliation of extra material, and a sheet of stickers, housed in a box sporting new art by Bryan Lee O’Malley. The sets will be in stores this July. They call themselves the Cemetery Kids: four friends who can’t get enough of the hot new video game “Nightmare Cemetery” and play it together every chance they get…which is every night, because the Dreamwave is a console you play in your dreams. But perhaps the device didn’t spend enough time in testing:

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

Does Oni have their holidays mixed up, or are most of their December offerings more suited for Halloween? Prepare yourself for a spine-tingling Christmas with these ghoulish offerings…. Cullen Bunn is back with a new tale, perhaps his most gruesome yet….INVASIVE! Some kind of underground surgeons are operating beneath the city, performing sick experiments of body horror on random victims. One of them happens to be the daughter of gifted trauma surgeon Dr. Carrie Reynolds, and she aims to get to the bottom of this. The first issue of INVASIVE will be released December 6. And speaking of gruesome things, Jay Stephens wraps up DWELLINGS this month with the third and final issue. He’s not telling us what scares await inside; he only gives one hint….CLOWNS! This Harvey Knockoff From Hell releases its last chapter December 20. What do you get with a Rick In A Box? We’re not sure, but it has something to do with hair. While Rick and Morty are recovering from their latest incident (along with

Past, present and future collide in the comics Oni Press is bringing to market this November. In BORN DRIVEN, you’ll learn the story of Wendell Scott, the first African American NASCAR driver — or at least his first story!

It goes on sale November 29. Who is the Faceless? No one knows….because they haven’t seen his face! Al that’s certain is that he wound up on the fringe of society as punishment for some crime he committed in the past. Now he’s joined forces with a group of fellow travelers to form the unstoppable team known as…FACELESS AND THE FAMILY! Cartoonist Matt Lesniewski created this four-part sci-fi adventure; the first chapter hits comic shops November 1. When Jerry clumsily loses the remote to Rick’s interdimensional cable box, he quickly enlists the help of MEESEEKS PI!

Rick and Morty: The Manga Super Sneak Preview Coming To Comic Shops

Rick and Morty: The Manga Super Sneak Preview Coming To Comic Shops

This fall Rick and Morty: The Manga will be taking off with its first volume, and if you want a taste, there will be a place to lick it soon. In the next few weeks, comic shops across America will be receiving a pack of 20 preview comics, each 16 pages in length and suggested for an MSRP of free. Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol. 1: Get in the Robot, Morty! is not really a manga in the traditional sense, but more a parody of one. A crossover in concept between Attack on Titan and Evangelion, it concerns an unwilling Morty having to suit up in a giant mecha to take on an army of giant, buck naked Jerrys. The first volume is written by Alissa M. Sallah (Weaboo) with drawings from artist JeyOdin (Hammer, Miles Away). “Rick and Morty has always skewered and elevated pop culture tropes through an irreverent lens, and Get in the Robot, Morty! takes on the beloved genre of mech-fighting manga with that characteristic

Oni Press gets spookier than ever in these offerings set for release this October. Who is THE MAN FROM MAYBE? Harvard Denny would like to know: he was once a billionaire, before society collapsed due to the atomic explosions. Also, Denny might have had something to do with the atomic explosions. But now he’s chasing the rumor of a crashed alien ship somewhere in the wasteland. but THE MAN FROM MAYBE is determined to get there first. The first of three issues will be released October 18, with art by Shaky Kane. We didn’t hear of any calamity when TV animation veteran Jay Stephens entered the comics market with the decidedly child-unfriendly horror anthology DWELLINGS. The book’s covers perfectly recreate the Harvey Comics house style of old, but the innards are dark and twisted. So far, no kid has accidentally picked it up (that we know of). The second issue will be out October 18 and contain the chillers “Quiet, Suki” and “Sound Mind.” Rick and Morty will be given

Late this fall Oni Press will be bringing us Rick and Morty: The Manga, aka the black-and-white adventures of a mad scientist and his family in a world of giant robots. Upon the initial announcement of this title last March, they let us show off a ten-page preview of the book, which you can still see here. Now they’ve let us look at five MORE pages! You can check them out below. Rick and Morty should be very familiar with the stylings of Japanese cartoons by now; two anime specials have aired on Adult swim so far and a full series is in the works. Those, however, were written and illustrated entirely in Japan. Rick and Morty: The Manga will be more of a parody, produced in America and spoofing contemporary anime properties. Subtitled “Get in the Robot, Morty!,” this first volume comes to us from writer Alissa M. Sallah (Weaboo) and artist JeyOdin (Hammer, Miles Away). It concerns an unwilling Morty having to suit up in a giant mecha

September will be a family-friendly month for Oni Press, as most of the books that don’t have Rick Sanchez on them are aimed at a young (or young at heart) audience. A few years ago Brenna Thummler brought the world SHEETS, a charming graphic novel about a girl who finds a ghost hiding in her laundromat. Majorie agreed to help Wendell (the ghost) sort out his unfinished business, which it’s taken two books to do. The final book in the trilogy, LIGHTS, will be published September 6. Can Wendell finally solve the mystery of his own death — and if it was an accident? Manga enthusiasts may want to look at TALLI DAUGHTER OF THE MOON VOL. 2, though it technically isn’t manga. It’s whatever French-Laotian comics are called! Princess Talli is a Summoner, part an elite group of magical women that certain groups in the world aren’t fond of. She and her friends are on the run from those trying to kill them, but between them and safe ground
