Oni Press Presents The Demon of Beausoleil – Mariana Costa’s Genre-Bending Graphic Novel. Coming January 2026

Oni Press has announced a seductive, supernatural graphic novel from Mariana Costa, the acclaimed cartoonist of Belle of the Ball. In The Demon of Beausoleil, a half-demon socialite-turned-exorcist and his disgruntled bodyguard have no trouble facing down the hordes of darkness—but facing their feelings for each other? Well now, that’s a whole different story…

Helianthes is a Cambion—a child born touched by demons. Horned, clawed, and tailed, Helianthes—Hell for short—is a devil-may-care exorcist whose devil-may-care attitude has succeeded in alienating those closest to him—all save for his long-suffering bodyguard, Elias, who sees him as less a strange, mythical being and more just a . . . nuisance. 

Together, the two venture into the streets of this psuedo-remix of Victorian London to exorcise demons (and maybe cause a little mischief on the way). But as Hell becomes increasingly drawn to his enigmatic bodyguard—and as Elias becomes increasingly aware of his feelings for his trouble of a charge—the two find themselves faced with a growing, chaotic dark that might threaten everything they’ve been working toward…

Dive into a world of half-demons (and the boys who love them) in this epic queer romance, in stores on January 27th, 2026!
