Eisner Award Nominee Patrick Horvath Declares Free For All #1 at Oni Press
IN THIS FUTURE, MONEY ISN’T EVERYTHING – IT’S THE ONLY THING. Oni Press has unveiled Free For All #1 by Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Patrick Horvath – a gory and gripping 56-page one-shot graphic novella coming to comic shops everywhere in March 2025! The first work by one of the industry’s fastest rising new talents since the sold-out debut of Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees – which earned a 2024 Eisner Award nomination for “Best New Series” – Horvath’s Free For All #1 introduces a brave new world where greed and glory have become inextricably linked in a spectacularly brutal game that has enraptured millions around the globe…
In the future, the World Finance League exists to benefit all, randomly choosing those from among the billionaires and trillionaires of the world and presenting them with a choice: either donate half of their assets to the common good — or defend them in ritual combat.
Reigning champion and real estate magnate Ted Brooks has 22 victories under his belt — defending the wealth he schemed and stabbed to get — when he is forced to face his ex-wife, Luella Dominguez, in a fight to the death. Luella has been training, waiting for this moment. But will she have what it takes to defeat the man who would do anything — absolutely anything — to keep his fortune?
Horvath’s Free For All #1 is the first of five new, genre-colliding projects from high-profile talents for Spring 2025 set to be revealed by Oni Press in the month ahead.
It’s every shareholder for themselves when death and bankruptcy collide in Free For All #1 – a giant-sized spectacle of capitalism and carnage coming this March from Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Patrick Horvath!
Wayne Barlowe returns to Power Lords!
Oni Press and The Nacelle Company have announced a major event in the history of the publisher’s growing stable of hit Nacelleverse series as Hugo Award-nominated, Locus Award-winning illustrator – and original Power Lords character designer – Wayne Barlowe lends his talents to January’s Power Lords #1 with his first-ever comic book cover!
Debuting with two distinct editions of Power Lords #1 by writers Dennis Culver and Matt Hotson and artist V Ken Marion – as both an “open order” shelf cover and incentive, 1:50 “full art” variant featuring the complete detail of the artist’s unexpurgated painting – this Nacellverse milestone is a homecoming for Barlowe, who designed the Power Lords distinctive and enduring characters for the debut of the original Revell action figure line in 1983.
In addition to designing the enduring visual identity of the Nacelleverse’s farthest-reaching cosmic heroes with the Power Lords, Barlowe has forged a distinctive and influential path with a career spanning illustration and concept art across more than 45 years in film, fiction, and toys. Originally reaping renown for his Hugo Award and American Book Award-nominated masterwork, Barlowe’s Guide to Extraterrestrials, Barlowe’s talents soon transitioned from page to screen as he collaborated with some of the most renowned filmmakers of all time to forge the visual identities and environments for seminal science-fiction films, including James Cameron’s Avatar, Alfonso Cuarón’s Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire, Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy and Pacific Rim, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, and many more.
In addition to Barlowe’s near-nonstop work in film and television, he is also the author of several novels (God’s Demon, The Heart Of Hell). He has also written and illustrated a number of art books, including Expedition, Barlowe’s Guide to Extraterrestrials, Barlowe’s Guide to Fantasy, Barlowe’s Inferno, Brushfire, The Alien Life of Wayne Barlowe, and An Alphabet of Dinosaurs. Expedition aired as the Discovery Channel’s special “Alien Planet” in 2005.
Power Lords #1 will mark the first comic book cover Barlowe has ever created in his long and distinguished career and marks his singular return to the seminal toy franchise since the early 1980s.

In the year 2142, fertility levels around the globe plummeted, and a black market for illegal clone babies emerged. Millions of parents used their own genetic material to welcome these new children, only realizing the horrific consequences far too late. At some point in their life cycle, three in four of these genetic duplicates transform into psychologically unstable killing machines known as Dupes. Fortunately, the United Nations of Europe has decided to take an active role in containing the growing threat. Their specialized task force has taken up the unenviable task of hunting Dupes before their violence can spread. To the government, they’re the Duplicate Identification and Capture Division. To everyone else, they’re the Skin Police. The worst part of the job? It’s always the one you least suspect . . .

However, their findings may lead them to more than they can possibly handle!
Meanwhile, hunted and on the run, freshly discovered Dupe Lacey Dodd-newly delivered from imminent termination at the hands of the Skin Police-finds herself an unwitting guest of the enigmatic Heath Noxxon, leader of the Dupe Rebel Underground.

Mini Reviews: Skin Police, TMNT Nightcrawler, and Creeping Below
Sometimes, the staff at Graphic Policy read more comics than we’re able to get reviewed. When that happens you’ll see a weekly feature compiling reviews of the comics, or graphic novels, we just didn’t get a chance to write a full one for.
These are Graphic Policy’s Mini Reviews and Recommendations.
Logan
Skin Police #1 (Oni Press) – Jordan Thomas, Daniel Gete, and Jason Wordie bring the 2000 AD vibes to their new series, Skin Police about catching unauthorized human clones that freak out and do things like murder commercial pilots while hallucinating Satan and his devils. Skin Police is like Blade Runner, but with extra body horror and plenty of satire about police/surveillance states as a rookie “skin police” follows the veteran around this first issue. The plot isn’t compelling just yet, but this might be worth a read for the Judge Dredd fans. Overall: 7.4 Verdict: Read
TMNT: Nightwatcher #2 (IDW Publishing) – With the big reveal out of the way, Juni Ba, Fero Pe, and Luis Delgado go into the basically of the origin of how Jennika threw off the ninja mask and became the new Nightwatcher. Pe’s art captures the restlessness and trauma she feels with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles scattered across the four corners of the globe while still showing she has a good heart and wants to protect the mutant community. I love the parallels that Ba creates between immigrant communities in the US and the residents of Mutant Town, and how he and Pe basically make the Nightwatcher a high tech Golem. TMNT: Nightwatcher continues to be a smart, action-packed vigilante comic with visuals that evoke old Mazzucchelli or Romita Jr comics, but with progressive ideals and a contemporary approach to characterization. Overall: 8.6 Verdict: Buy
The Creeping Below #1 (BOOM!) – Brian Azzarello, Vanessa Del Rey, and Hilary Jenkins explore the world of Norwegian black metal, murder, and mayhem in The Creeping Below #1. Protagonist Val is the perfect stand-in for many readers who aren’t familiar with this subculture, but is curious about the emotions and iconography behind it. However, curious may or may not have killed the cat, and the imagery goes from gigs and song lyrics to reality as the comic works to a bloody crescendo. Also, Del Rey and Jenkins’ are downright epic and will have you throwing the horns to Thor or the Norse deity of your choice. Overall: 7.7 Verdict: Buy
