HE DOESN’T KNOW WHY HE’S HERE – MAN? ROBOT? SIMULACRUM? OR DREAM? –Oni Press gives readers their first look inside Benjamin #2, the second issue from ground-breaking miniseries by Edgar Award nominee and Philip K. Dick Award winner Ben H. Winters and rising star Leomacs! A mind-bending tale that looks at identity and reality, Benjamin #2 will leave you questioning everything.

Legendary science-fiction novelist Benjamin J. Carp has just been resurrected 40 years after his death . . . and that’s not even the strangest thing that’s going to happen to him today.

In an effort to unravel the mystery of author Benjamin J. Carp’s unexpected reappearance, Benjamin and his newfound companion, Marcus, travel to the arid Joshua Tree desert, where they discover the secret lair of a cabal of scientists eager to revive the minds of some of history’s greatest thinkers in an effort to save humanity from its greatest weakness: lack of imagination. Are they to be believed . . . or is this just more sci-fi hokum torn from a chapter in one of Carp’s beloved novels?

Presented in a prestige, ad-free format with 32 pages of story content and premium cardstock covers on every issue, Benjamin #2 will rise and walk in comic shops everywhere on July 16th, 2025 with gorgeous covers by multiple Eisner Award winner Christian Ward and visionary artist Malachi Ward.
