SDCC 2026: Eisner Award Winner Christian Ward Inks Three-Book Deal with Oni Press

Posted on by

In advance of Comic-Con International 2026 in San Diego, Oni Press has announced it has brokered a new, multi-project deal with multiple Eisner Award-winning creator Christian Ward. 

Extending beyond the upcoming release of The Forever Home #1 – Ward’s six-part series with artist and co-creator Sami Kivelä, beginning in September – the new deal will include three new creator-owned projects featuring Ward’s talents as both a writer and artist in various capacities.

The first of three new series will debut in 2027. Creative details for all three are being kept under wraps.

This September, join visionary creators Christian Ward and Sami Kivelä as they prepare to challenge the limits of time, technology, and human endurance itself as one family’s refuge from the end of the world becomes an eon-spanning nightmare – only in The Forever Home #1.
​
Infamous billionaire scientist Henry D’mour could have saved the world. But he didn’t. Instead, 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 29 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 …

To further discuss The Forever Home and the newly inked deal, Ward will be joining Oni Press at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 on Thursday, June 23rd at 11 am PT as a guest for the Oni Press: The Loudest Thing in Color panel presentation, alongside fellow creators Tyler Crook, Juan Gedeon, Bryan Lee O’Malley, Tradd Moore, Curt Pires, and more. 

Ward will also be signing copies of the new High Strangeness Deluxe Edition (featuring Ward’s stunning artwork alongside contributions from Daniel Noah, Chris Condon, Dave Chisholm, and more) and free copies of the The Forever Home/Fort Psycho Preview Book at the Oni Press booth (#1829) at the following times while supplies last: 

Thursday, July 23 | 12 noon – 1 pm
(with Tyler Crook, Juan Gedeon & Curt Pires)

Saturday, July 25 | 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm 
(with Tradd Moore) 

The Forever Home #1 (of 6) will arrive in comic shops worldwide on September 9, 2026.

SDCC 2026: Supernatural’s Dean and Sam Wayward in Twin Titles This Fall!

Posted on by

Dynamite has announced the next major phase of comics for the Supernatural franchise! Following the best-selling series written by Greg Pak, the Winchester brothers are unexpectedly split and wayward in a historic first as writers Chuck Brown and Paulina Ganucheau steer two intertwined titles starting this October!

This shocking schism starts this September in the Supernatural: Wayward special by Ganucheau and artist John Amor. Seam and Dean are bound by both blood and purpose, but horrible, hellish forces threaten to drive them to travel separate roads.

Just in time for the spooky season, fans can then pick up double the Supernatural stories as the two brothers go solo and solve thrilling cases. The questions in these two series are — how long can they stay apart and what could drive them back together?

In Supernatural: Dean Winchester, Eisner Award-winning scribe Chuck Brown and star artist Rapha Lobosco pick up the elder Winchester hurt and alone in the boozy and shadow-strewn streets of New Orleans. It’s Mardi Gras in the Big Easy, which means not only flocks of colorful characters, but also its hallowed alleyways crawling with creepiness and mystery. Dean is determined to close a case his dad never could, but to do so, he might have to murder a god…

Following Wayward, Paulina Ganucheau is joined by rising artist Kendall Goode in cracking open new tales for the younger brother in Supernatural: Sam Winchester. After he’s done something to Dean that he can never take back, Sam is drawn to an abandoned town deep in the heart of Appalachia. Guided by cryptic phone calls, he finds himself wrapped up in a mystery as old as the mountains themselves. Will the ancient eldritch horrors overtake this Winchester?

Dean’s standalone series is complemented by fittingly slick covers by Marguerite Sauvage and Lobosco, plus a pair of photos showcasing the brother’s iconic visage. As a multitalented creator, Ganucheau also contributes covers to her series, alongside Goode and two photos spotlighting Sam.

Supernatural super fans can check out the mystery blind bag options available for both titles, offering a fun approach to collecting and exclusive premium variant editions like logo-less versions, line art presentations of art, and more.

Readers are encouraged to follow both series, keeping up with the twin tales of the Winchesters and staying tuned for even more shocking tales to come that will reunite the wayward family once more!

Inspired by the energy of live performance, music culture, and the community that continues to fuel the genre, Stage Tour is set to reignite the rhythm game genre when it launches later this year.

Headlining the announcement is an exclusive partnership with Dark Horse Comics, bringing the world of Stage Tour to comics for the first time through a special one-shot issue debuting at San Diego Comic-Con 2026. Expanding the lore of the Stage Tour universe, the comic offers fans a new way to experience the bandmates that help shape the world behind the game, featuring cover art by Kim Hu, script by Zoe Tunnell, art by Liana Kangas, colors by Diana Sousa, and lettering by Comicraft’s Tyler Smith.

The limited-edition comic will be available exclusively to SDCC attendees while supplies last and will also be included as a free bonus collectible with future Stage Tour hardware bundle pre-orders.

RedOctane Games also confirmed today that Stage Tour is confirmed for release on PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™2, and PC. Steam wishlists are available now, with PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series X|S wishlists and pre-orders to follow.

In addition to the game, attendees will be among the first to experience the official Kramer Guitar Controller for Stage Tour. Pre-production demo units of the officially licensed controller-featuring the classic design of Kramer guitars-will be available throughout the event, giving fans an exclusive early look at the hardware ahead of its planned release and securing their own controller for themselves ahead of launch.

Built for the Stage 

Built around the fantasy of forming a band and becoming a rockstar, Stage Tour combines classic 5-fret rhythm gameplay with modern progression, customization, and replayability.

Developed by a team that includes veteran creators from Guitar Hero® and DJ Hero®, alongside respected members of the rhythm gaming community, Stage Tour is built with a simple goal: to bring rhythm gaming back to the living room for a new generation of players. Whether reliving the golden era of rhythm games or discovering the genre for the first time, players can form a band, hit the stage, and go on tour together through a modern rhythm game built around the universal language of music. 

Backed by a multi-year partnership with Gibson–the iconic and leading global instrument brand, Stage Tour features officially licensed Gibson, Epiphone, and Kramer instruments, bringing some of the most iconic names in music directly into the Stage Tour experience. 

Stage Tour is currently in development for PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, with a planned release for Holiday 2026. Additional announcements, including the official release date, pre-orders, soundtrack reveals, and community initiatives, will be shared throughout the coming months.
