Oni Press has announced a new comic shop-specific returnability initiative focused on deepening and strengthening its commitment to Direct Market retailers.

Through the end of 2023, Oni will be making EVERY ISSUE of its original, creator-owned series fully returnable for retailers who order a minimum of five, non-incentive shelf covers (in any combination) via either of the publisher’s distribution partners at Diamond Comic Distributors or Lunar Distribution.

Oni’s new returnability program takes effect with original titles shipping in May 2023, beginning with Lamentation #1 – THE FIRST OF THREE, 48-PAGE ISSUES spanning May, June, and July from horror master Cullen Bunn and rising star Arjuna Susini and featuring covers by Ringo Award nominee Maan House, Eisner Award nominee Yanick Paquette, and acclaimed artist Kyle Hotz.

In June, the program continues with both Lamentation #2 and XINO #1 – YOUR FIRST SUPER -SIZED, 40-PAGE DOSE of subversive, psych-surrealist science fiction to break the borders of reality itself from creators Nick Cagnetti, Chris Condon, Melissa Flores, Phil Hester, Daniel Irizarri, Shaky Kane, Jordan Thomas and more of Oni’s brightest talents – past, present, and future – with covers by Matt Lesniewski, André Lima Araújo, Malachi Ward & Matt Sheean, and Shaky Kane.
