Murder Drones goes Home in May with a Special issue

Posted on by

Oni Press and independent animation studio Glitch Productions are proud to reveal the Murder Drones: Home Special #1, a double-sized, 40-page one-shot special that adapts the stylish and shocking origin episode from Murder Drones creator Liam Vickers’ worldwide animation phenomenon. Expanding out of the pages of the record-setting Murder Drones limited series, writer Wyatt Kennedy will be joined by Bram Stoker Award-winning artist Soo Lee for a haunting and harrowing, self-contained chapter with pivotal consequences for everything we know about the world of Copper 9!

Arriving in stores between issues #4 and #5 of the primary Murder Drones series, join series scribe Wyatt Kennedy and special guest artist Soo Lee as they bring to life the chilling visions of a time long before the fall of the surface world on Copper 9, locked away deep in the recesses of poor Serial Designation N’s seemingly innocent, childlike little brain (or CPU, or whatever drones have). Will the secrets of N’s old human family, the Elliots, give Uzi and her friends the knowledge to stop the Absolute Solver virus? Or will it unlock a monster long forgotten?

History comes to life on May 13th when Murder Drones: Home Special #1 crash lands in comic shops with covers from Soo Lee, Alessio Zonno, and Jo Mi-Gyeong! 

And then, just two weeks later, your normally scheduled program returns when Murder Drones #4 (of 6) arrives in stores on May 27th!

An all-new interpretation of Tatsuo Yoshida’s classic manga/anime, MachGoGoGo, known to Western audiences as Speed Racer!

But when a dangerous syndicate targets his family, Speed’s greatest challenge won’t be on the track…it’ll be on the streets. With the police closing in and a masked racer lurking in the shadows, Speed is about to learn that some races can’t be won with horsepower alone. Award-winning writer DAVID PEPOSE (Space Ghost, Captain Planet, Savage Avengers) and superstar artist DAVIDE TINTO (Ultraman: The Mystery of the Ultraseven, Star Wars: Bounty Hunters) co-pilot an action-packed reboot of the classic franchise. Start your engines!
