In partnership with Rebellion and the Nacelle Company, Oni Press is proud to present the wreckage-strewn collision of the 22nd-century’s most feared lawman against its hardest-charging mutant outlaws—Mega-City One’s JUDGE DREDD versus the Red Planet’s BIKER MICE FROM MARS—in a no-holds-barred showdown for supremacy!

From blockbuster writers Dan Watters (M.A.S.K., Batman: Dark Patterns) & Ryan O’Sullivan (Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War) and supercharged artist Jordi Tarragona (Injustice: Gods Among Us), maximum thrill power meets maximum attitude as the decade’s most unexpected crossover event starts here with 48 pages of deluxe-format fury!

Across the frayed cordons of space-time, the greed-fueled oligarchs Limburger and Karbunkle have identified a strange new world to plunder, but they never anticipated that Throttle, Vinnie, and Modo—the extraterrestrial antiheroes known as the BIKER MICE FROM MARS—would dare to foil their latest cross-dimensional conquest: the smog-clogged metropolis known as Mega-City One.

Now, the Martian brothers and their bikes are stranded between blocks in Mega-City’s endless, chaotic sprawl… alongside 400 million citizens who want them dead and the one man committed to delivering them to justice at any cost: the unforgiving JUDGE DREDD! The law has no place for vermin on Mega-City One’s streets… but when the Biker Mice’s otherworldly abilities draw the gaze of the inhuman entity called Judge Death, man and mouse alike will be caught in the crosshairs!

FROM THE ASHES OF FRANKENSTEIN’S DESTRUCTION… A NEW KIND OF DETECTIVE IS BORN!

This winter, acclaimed writer George Northy (Yuletide, EC’s Shiver SuspenStories) and Eisner Award–nominated artist Caitlin Yarsky (Dead Teenagers, Black Hammer) invite you to a distant castle to behold a meticulously crafted, first-of-its-kind comics murder mystery starring the greatest man-made monster of all…

Decades after his creation, the creature once known as Frankenstein’s Monster has reinvented himself as Europe’s most formidable mind. After years underground, his scars have faded and his genius-level intellect has tamed his hulking nature… revealing an extraordinary talent for solving the world’s most inexplicable mysteries. Today, he is Prometheus Graft: gentleman detective, expert investigator… and something still not quite entirely human.

Now, on the cusp of a new century set to be ruled by science over superstition, Graft believes he has finally conquered his monstrous past… until he is summoned to the remote Romanian castle of Death’s End, where an immortal lord has assembled Europe’s most feared supernatural beings to broker a long-lasting peace. But their fragile treaty will soon be shattered when the corpse of a powerful family’s envoy is found murdered in the castle’s hedge maze… turning witch against werewolf and vampire against ghoul as suspicion and bloodshed spiral.

With only his instincts and a bloodstained trail of clues to guide him, can Prometheus Graft solve the slayings at Death’s End before a new day breaks… and all hell follows with it?

RIVERDALE BE DAMNED! From superstar creators Patrick Horvath (Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees) and Tyler Crook (Out of Alcatraz), the year’s most red-hot horror hit continues in a blazing new chapter of the infernal ongoing series where no one safe… and the flames only rise higher… as America’s most iconic teenager locks horns with evil incarnate!

Torn from the world he once knew and thrown back to a dark reflection of the year 1690, Archie Andrews has taken cover as “Archibald” Andrews—a humble inhabitant of the bleak and zealous Puritan community called Riverdale. And he’s not the only one on edge… Strange and unearthly occurrences plague this small countryside hovel, and, as the search for the collaborators of the devil’s business begins, Archie won’t be able to hide for long—especially not with that flaming red hair! But when strange echoes of his best friends from the modern day—Elizabeth “Betty” Cooper, Berenice “Veronica” Lodge, and Forsythe “Jughead” Jones—begin to emerge, Archie will quickly come to fear that while he may have been the demon A’ldarax’s first sacrifice, he may not be its last…

Suspicion, deception, and delusion blend together as New York Times bestselling cartoonist and multiple Eisner Award nominee Matt Kindt (BRZRKR, Dept. H) unleashes the next chapter of the mirage-shrouded masterpiece that The Beat calls “a great new start to an already great series.”

What could’ve been a love story for the ages is now just a distant memory… Both Detective Swon and Delphi are unraveling just how intertwined their lives have become, or rather, have been. With Mind Management pulling strings behind the scenes, even our investigators of the improbable aren’t quite sure where the lines between reality and fiction begin or end. Their memories? Their feelings? It could all be misconstrued, artificially created, or, worst of all, genuine. Seems like fate might’ve conspired to bring them together… but will the truth be what ends up wrenching them apart?

More accomplices! More adversaries! More double-crosses!

After apprehending the world’s most wanted terrorist leader at a terrible cost, the most highly trained and lethal unit of intelligence operatives in human history has been hunted down, disavowed by their governments, and imprisoned on the island fortress nicknamed “Fort Psycho.” Locked away from the world, they have little else to do but sharpen their grudges, plot their bloody revenge, and attempt to zero in on the traitor… or traitors… that are suspected to still hide among their ranks. So what’s the most dangerous thing you could give this hardened team of paranoid international commandos? It’s not another weapon—it’s hope. Primed with a plan to finally make their escape from Fort Psycho’s prison paradise, the detached assassin Jason and his former allies-turned-convicts are pairing off, two-by-two, to execute their last-ditch gambit for freedom. But not everyone is who they seem… and Jason’s covert mission to find and kill the double agent responsible for his life sentence is about to explode into a barrage of bullets and broken promises.

WRITTEN BY MATT KINDT

ART & COVER BY BRIAN HURTT

INFINITE BULLETS. ZERO F#@KS! Oni Press and Flux House proudly present the concussive first volume of the action comic so extreme, it might just catch fire—welcome to FORT PSYCHO!

Ten years ago, the nation of Singapore sank into the Pacific Ocean. The underground network known as the Seven Seals took credit for the largest act of terror in human history. In the aftermath, the United Nations created a strike team of highly trained covert operatives with one mission: locate, identify, and eliminate the Seven Seals’ secretive leader.

The team’s clandestine affairs were to always remain in the shadows—until their final, explosive confrontation with the Seven Seals resulted in a large-scale tragedy too bloody to cover up and too tragic to ignore. Disgraced and disavowed by the governments that trained them, the world’s most dangerous secret agents have been convicted for their crimes and sentenced to serve time side-by-side in the one place capable of holding them: their old island headquarters, Fort Cyclone—now known in the media by the derogatory nickname “Fort Psycho.”

And that’s where the official story is about to go terribly, terribly wrong. From master storytellers Matt Kindt (BRZRKR, Mind MGMT) and Brian Hurtt (The Sixth Gun), Mission: Impossible meets Lost on a tropical island paradise stocked with trained killers, secret betrayals, and the long-buried truth about the mission that brought them there. Always remember: There is nothing deadlier than an ally turned enemy.

LIBERTY! HC

WRITTEN BY JORDAN MECHNER

ART & COVER BY ETIENNE LE ROUX & LOÏC CHEVALLIER

Liberty! is a sweeping historical graphic novel by Jordan Mechner that dramatizes the true story of the covert French operation to aid the American Revolution, blending espionage, diplomacy, and revolutionary fervor.

1776. The American Revolution is on the brink of collapse before it can even get started. The colonies are outgunned, outmanned, and out of time. While Washington’s ragged army faces the full might of the British Empire, a different kind of battle begins across the Atlantic. Silas Deane, a Connecticut merchant turned secret envoy, is dispatched by the Continental Congress on a mission that could decide the fate of the rebellion: secure weapons, gunpowder, and allies from the French. But Deane cannot succeed alone. He befriends the unlikely partner Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, a playwright, celebrity, political fixer, and a man whose charm is as dangerous as his ambition. Famous for writing The Barber of Seville, Beaumarchais turns his theatrical genius toward a far riskier production: a clandestine pipeline of French arms to the American rebels, hidden behind shell companies, forged manifests, and diplomatic sleight of hand.

Together, they navigate a treacherous world of spies, royal ministers, profiteers, and British agents determined to choke the Revolution before it can breathe.

Urbance Volume 2 plunges deeper into the streetwise chaos of its dystopian world, where gender segregation and forbidden love fuel rebellion.

After stealing the coveted n-dorphin, Lesya earns praise from Sister Amy and becomes an official member of the Deadly Eves. But her rapid rise stirs jealousy, especially from Sam, who uncovers Lesya’s suspicious activities. Meanwhile, Kenzell is on the run from COEVO agents, diving into the depths of Junk Town with a bounty on his head. Lesya, now a fugitive herself, rescues him and shares painful memories from her past… just as Sister Amy reappears, threatening everything they’ve built. It’s a high-stakes continuation of animation director Joel Dos Reis Viegas’s gritty saga Urbance, where loyalty, identity, and survival collide in a city that punishes connection.
