Oni Press Launches an Online Pop Up Shop Due to Emerald City Comic Con Cancellation

Posted on by

Oni Press has launched an exclusive online pop up shop offering all planned exclusives for Emerald City Comic Con, and books from all creators previously scheduled to sign!

In the announcement, Oni Press publisher James Lucas Jones said:

While the decision not to attend was difficult for many reasons, one of our first considerations was supporting the creators and books we had planned to promote there. We realize many of our creators depend on convention income, and want to do our part to help where we can through sales of their books and merchandise. Additionally, we want to bring as much of the convention experience to fans as possible, despite our lack of a presence on the show floor.

Oni Press unveils multiple exclusive items available now in limited quantities, exclusively through the Oni Press #ECCC2020 Pop Up Store, including the first items in an all-new merchandise partnership with Achewood creator Chris Onstad. 

Oni will ship all items at no charge, just as if you picked them up at the con, and is offering 10% off all items featured in this special storefront.
