Posted on by

Due to an unprecedented 127% increase in orders the Final Order Cut-Off for Oni Press‘ Dwellings #1 (of 3), Oni is advising retailers that quantities of Dwellings #1 COVER A by creator Jay Stephens and COVER D by artist Brian Level will be allocated up to 10% at the distributor level.

All orders placed for Dwellings #1 COVER B (Joe Palmer Variant), COVER C (Jenna Cha Variant), and 1:10 incentive (Jay Stephens “Bloody Variant”) will be unaffected by the allocation. Retailers who initially qualified for Dwellings #1 1:10 incentive (Jay Stephens “Bloody Variant”) will still receive their incentives as planned, irrespective of any Cover A or Cover D allocations.

Additionally, extra quantities of the COVER B by artist Joe Palmer and COVER C by artist Jenna Cha are available for immediate re-order, alongside a new SECOND PRINTING VARIANT by creator Jay Stephens with adequate supply to cover any outstanding Cover A and Cover D units withheld due to allocation. 

Oni will also be offering a new Dwellings #1 Third Printing Variant for FOC on August 7, 2023, which will arrive in stores on September 6, 2023 – in advance of Dwellings #2’s bi-monthly October release. 

Oni Press has also proactively placed Dwellings #2 (shipping in October) and Dwellings #3 (shipping in December) on a longer, 30-day FOC to prevent any future allocations in the future.

Comedian Andy Samberg and Fall Out Boy’s Joe Trohman join Rick Remender and artist Roland Boschi for the upcoming series The Holy Roller. This bowling-themed bonanza will strike this November from Image Comics as part of the ever-growing Giant Generator Studios line.

To care for his ailing father, pro-bowler Levi Coen is forced to quit his dream job and return to his hometown, which he soon discovers has been overrun by Neo-Nazis! With only his bowling ball collection to defend himself, Levi becomes THE HOLY ROLLER!

The Holy Roller debut will also feature an impressive lineup of variant covers by such top talent artists as: J.H. Williams III, Brett Parson, Keron Grant, Brian Level, Mike Hawthorne, and Rafael Albuquerque.

Oni Press releases a trailer For Jay Stephens’ Dwellings

Posted on by

Beginning this summer, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher Oni Press will publish Dwellings, a bi-monthly limited series from the pop-addled brain of Emmy Award-winning animator and Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Jay Stephens. Oni has released a trailer for the spooky series, as well as a brand new preview. Re-formatting Stephens’ acclaimed self-published series – which has drawn praise from a litany of high-profile talents, like Jeff Lemire, Stephen R. Bissette, Phil Hester, and more – into three prestige-format chapters, Oni’s new release of Dwellings marks the award-winning Canadian cartoonist’s return to the publisher. 

Each of Dwellings’ three oversized, prestige format issues will be 72 blood curdling pages long and will include two complete tales. Welcome to Elwich – an oasis of small town perfection, where the schools overflow with cheery-eyed children, lovingly adorned homes line the historic boulevards… and only the crows can see the deep, festering rot that lurks beneath the pristine surface. Murder. Demonology. Possession. Obsession. Elwich has them all on offer—and behind every dwelling awaits a horrifying new story to be told. 

Dwellings debuts on August 9th with a 72-page, first issue with all-new, never-before-seen standard and “bloody” edition covers by Jay Stephens himself, alongside brand-new variant covers by Joe Palmer, Jenna Cha, and Brian Level.

Dwellings #1 will feature two creepy stories – “They Know” and”Second Tongue.” One Press will unleash Dwellings diabolical debut issue on unsuspecting comic shops everywhere on August 9, 2023.

When Beth Wills comes to Silk Hills, a small Appalachian town that’s seen better days since the mines were abandoned, she expected a bit of culture shock… But not like this! Beth is someone who has a talent for finding people who don’t want to be found, and when she’s called to Silk Hills by a local titan of industry, she can tell that something’s not right. Little does she know…
Silk Hills was once booming, but the only reason people tend to come through town anymore is to buy Mothman merchandise.
