SDCC 2026: Giant-Sized Comics Meet Giant-Sized Imagination in Matt Kindt’s Flux House Presents #1 – A New Kind of Quarterly Comics Experience Coming in October

Posted on by Leave a comment

In advance of Comic-Con International in San Diego, Oni Press has revealed Flux House Presents #1, a tense and turbulent spectacle of mind-bending comics storytelling from the prehistoric age through many dimensions beyond our own in a truly one-of-kind quarterly comics showcase torn from the imagination of New York Times bestselling writer and multiple Eisner Award nominee Matt Kindt! 

Packed with first appearances, shocking self-contained introductions to major upcoming Flux House releases, and awe-inspiring surprises, join one of the medium’s most widely acclaimed creative minds—alongside longtime collaborators Brian Hurtt, David Lapham, Alison Sampson, and Ella Kindt (making her interior comic book colors debut)—for 64 pages of wildly unexpected and wholly unpredictable stories that will tattoo themselves onto your psyche in brilliant CMYK ink in Flux House Presents #1 in October.

First: Enter the age of wonder and survival in the double-sized first chapter of new two-part tale, “SPARK,” as a young woman and her hunter-gatherer community set out to withstand the change of seasons and, with it, harness newfound tools to stave death off for one more cycle of the stars . . . Then: Kindt and Lapham present the key to “ROOM 101”—a seemingly derelict motel room that also possesses endless doorways to the crossroads of all time and space. And for the gargantuan finale: A brand-new tale of shrapnel and stamina, exploding out of the pages of Fort Psycho—Kindt and Hurtt’s mayhem-infused, super-spy epic.

Each triple-sized issue of Flux House Presents will be released quarterly – four times per year – in between story arcs of the ongoing Mind MGMT: New & Improved series, written and drawn by Kindt.

You’re not dreaming. Flux House Presents #1 is real … and you can see it for yourself in comic stores worldwide on October 7th with dazzling covers by Sharlene Kindt and Emma Rios! 

Plus: Journey into the year’s most exciting new comic initiative for yourself live at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 on Saturday, June 25th at 1 pm PT in Room 5AB for the “Inside FLUX HOUSE with Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt” panel presentation! Welcome to FLUX HOUSE – the first and only comics imprint designed to conjoin directly with your nervous system to deliver controlled bursts of paranoia, anxiety, and adrenaline. Returning with a slate of new titles – beginning with Mind MGMT: New & Improved and Fort Psycho – this summer at Oni Press, go inside Flux House as Kindt and longtime collaborator Brian Hurtt surveil their newest, most groundbreaking series yet and reveal what’s coming next for the acclaimed comics imprint in 2026 and beyond.

Exclusive: Kelly Sue DeConnick, Sam Humphries, Natacha Bustos, and Josh Reed darkslide with sci-fi skatepunk series called Skate Ali

Posted on by

We have the exclusive reveal of Skate Ali, a new five-issue comic series from Kelly Sue DeConnick, Sam Humphries, Natacha Bustos, and Dark Horse Comics! Skate Ali is a high-octane, genre-smashing sci-fi skatepunk saga about friendship, rebellion, and finding yourself when the world wants to knock you down written by DeConnick and Humphries, illustrated by Bustos, and lettered by Josh Reed. Skate Ali #1 will be available in June 2026 and will feature cover art by Bustos, Joe Quinones, Sweeney Boo, Emma Rios, and Jamie McKelvie.

Welcome to near-future Los Angeles—a neon-scorched city where skateboarding has been ruthlessly outlawed. But nothing stops Skate Ali.

By day, she’s just another student dodging detention. By night, she’s a rebel on wheels, an enigmatic loner defying the law on the Los Angeles streets.

But when Ali slams headfirst into the infamous world of underground skateboarding, she comes face to face with a crew of outcast skaters called the LA Skull Clan, and their masked leader, Skull Queen 9. Fueled by a magical force called the Rush, the clan pulls off explosive moves and defiant acts of resistance.

Faced with the opportunity to level up her game, but afraid of actually being perceived by others, Ali must decide: will she play it safe, or kickflip straight into a revolution?

Drop into your local comic shop and pre-order Skate Ali #1 (of 5) before it hits shelves on June 10, 2026 for $4.99.

DSTLRY reveals new incentive covers for White Boat, Gone, and Somna

Posted on by

DSTLRY has revealed eleven covers for three upcoming issues all releasing in Spring 2024.

New series debut White Boat #1 by longtime collaborators Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla leads the charge on March 27th with open order and incentive variants that preview the Lovecraftian horrors within:

  • Cover A – Francesco Francavilla – Open Order
  • Cover B – Kelley Jones (Batman, The Sandman) – Open Order Variant
  • Cover C – Rafael Albuquerque (American Vampire, Blue Beetle) – 1:10 Incentive Variant
  • Cover D – Keyla Valerio (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Stranger Things) – 1:25 Incentive Variant
  • Cover E – Junko Mizuno (Pure Trance, Ravina the Witch?) – 1:50 Incentive Variant

From the acclaimed team behind Detective Comics and Night of the Ghoul comes a modern horror classic! White Boats are the mega-yachts that the super-rich use to traverse the globe—floating islands where your every desire can be fulfilled. And getting invited on board one should be a dream come true…that is until the crew traps and transports you to a remote island where secret cults have existed for millennia, working on something called “The Human Project.” Does the White Boat ship you to paradise or sink you into hell on earth? WHITE BOAT reunites Scott Snyder, the visionary writer who redefined comic book dread with Wytches and introduced Batman into a terrifying, cerebral era, with modern noir master Francesco Francavilla for a white-knuckle descent into Lovecraftian maritime madness!

Somna #3 also releases on March 27th from writer/artist duo Tula Lotay and Becky Cloonan, bringing the haunting erotic thriller to its gripping climax:

  • Cover A – Becky Cloonan – Open Order
  • Cover B – Tula Lotay – Open Order
  • Cover C – Emma Ríos (Pretty Deadly, Amazing Spider-Man) – 1:10 Incentive Variant
  • Cover D – Anwita Citriya (Yuuko’s Gloomy Days) – 1:25 Incentive Variant
  • Cover E – Pernille Ørum (DC Superhero Girls, Hit-Girl) – 1:50 Incentive Variant

The mystery of who killed Harald is finally solved, but is it too late for Ingrid to escape the harrowing clutches of the ethereal and deadly “Shadow Man”? More importantly, does she even WANT to escape, or has her new-found sexual awakening made it impossible to ever return?!

From the masterful minds of Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay comes an intoxicating blend of history, eroticism, and the supernatural in SOMNA—an evocative masterpiece that draws inspiration from folk-horror staples like Midsommar and The Witch, and will transport readers to a world where passion and spirits intertwine, captivating your senses and leaving you craving more.

Finally, Gone #3 rockets onto shelves this April, concluding the first arc of writer/artist Jock’s journey across the cosmos:

  • Cover A – Jock – Open Order
  • Cover B – Jock – Open Order Variant
  • Cover C – Sam Wolfe Connelly – 1:10 Incentive Variant
  • Cover D – Rossi Gifford (Invincible Presents: Atom Eve, Riot Games) – 1:25 Incentive Variant
  • Cover E – Joëlle Jones (Lady Killer, Catwoman) – 1:50 Incentive Variant

Abi has been from one end of the galaxy to the other and just about the only place she hasn’t reached is the one place she’s most afraid to go…HOME. But fate, and her own steely will, have combined to send her there, and now she must confront a past secret that’s darker than the deepest depths of outer space. Beautifully written and drawn by JOCK, GONE comes to its heart-rending conclusion!

Scott Snyder returns to horror with Dan Panosian and Canary

Posted on by

Blending modern horror, historical fact, and western lore, Dark Horse Comics, Scott Snyder, and Dan Panosian bring Canary to print in stunning oversized issues, featuring 56 pages! Written by Snyder, illustrated by Panosian, and lettered by Richard Starkings and Comicraft’s Tyler Smith, Canary #1 will also feature variant covers by Panosian, Emma Rios (1:10 incentive variant), and Jill Thompson (1:25 incentive variant).

During the final days of the Gold Rush, one mining company in Colorado pulled up radioactive uranium–and then the mine collapsed in on itself. Legends sprang up about the mine being cursed or even haunted. Now, the Frontier is closed, the gold and silver mines have dried up, the country is becoming “civilized,” and yet, in one stretch of the Rocky Mountains, a terrifying, new kind of violence is suddenly emerging: random killings as people go mad and murder neighbors or classmates without real cause. When a schoolboy kills his teacher with a hatchet, a famous federal marshal named Azrael William Holt is called in to investigate the killings. What he and a brilliant young geologist uncover is stranger and more horrifying than anything they could have ever imagined.

Dig deeper into Canary #1 (of 3) November 1, 2023. It is now available to pre-order for $4.99 at your local comic shop.

Canary TPB (152 pages, $19.99) will also be available for pre-order starting September 12, 2023 at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and your local comic shop and bookstore. Canary TPB will be available in bookstores June 11, 2024 and in comic shops June 12, 2024.
