“Psycho-Vision” debuts in Fort Psycho #1 – A New Leap-Forward for Comic Book Printing Technology

In 1931, Bell Laboratories introduced high-fidelity, forever altering man’s relationship to music. In 1939, Technicolor revolutionized the aesthetic of cinema – producing deeper, more immersive images on film that instantly conjured “movie magic” for viewers around the world. Now, nearly a century later, Oni Press and Flux House introduce “Psycho-Vision” – a new, wholly unique combination of print processes developed for the upcoming, August 2026 debut of Fort Psycho #1 that will maximize the power of comic book storytelling in the most aggressive and high intensity manner ever attempted on the printed page. 

Debuting first on Fort Psycho #1 and continuing across of all 12 issues of the highly explosive new maxi-series from New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt and powerhouse artist Brian Hurtt, “Psycho-Vision” will up the ante with upgrades across five distinct categories:

  • MAXIMIZED COLOR: Pantone-keyed covers for each issue by series co-creator Brian Hurtt specifically engineered to capture specific colors otherwise impossible to print under the standard CMYK process.
  • MAXIMIZED QUALITY: Heavy-duty, 10 pt. cardstock covers on each issue – so sturdy they could take a bullet! 
  • MAXIMIZED CONTENT: Each issue of FORT PSYCHO will be delivered completely free of external advertising and come packed with exclusive back matter, beginning with its double-sized 40-page first issue in August 2026. 
  • MAXIMIZED LANGUAGE: When it comes to telling the tightly wound, 12-part tale of disgraced super-spies exiled to an island prison stocked with trained killers, secret betrayals, and the long-buried truth about the mission that brought them there … things are going to get salty. FORT PSYCHO uses all the @#$%-ing words!
  • MAXIMIZED PHYSICALITY: Due to the proprietary nature of this new printing process, the complete PSYCHO-VISION experience is only available to readers of the series’ single-issue print editions in comic shops and cannot be reproduced or approximated digitally. 

Ten years ago, the nation of Singapore sank into the Pacific Ocean. The underground terrorist network known as The Seven Seals took credit for the largest act of terror in human history. In the aftermath, the United Nations created a strike team of highly trained covert operatives with one mission: locate, identify, and eliminate The Seven Seals’ secretive leader. The team’s clandestine affairs were to always remain in the shadows – until their final, explosive confrontation with The Seven Seals resulted in a large-scale tragedy too bloody to cover up and too tragic to ignore. 

Disgraced and disavowed by the governments that trained them, the world’s most dangerous secret agents have been convicted for their crimes and sentenced to serve time side-by-side in the one place capable of holding them: their old island headquarters, Fort Cyclone – now known in the media by the derogatory nickname “Fort Psycho.” 

And that’s where the official story is about to go terribly, terribly wrong.

WARNING: YOU HAVE UNTIL AUGUST 2026 TO REACH MAXIMUM SAFE DISTANCE FROM FORT PSYCHO #1 – the brand-new, ticking time bomb of comic book firepower coming soon from master storytellers Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt with covers from series co-creator Brian Hurtt, modern master Lewis LaRosa, and more to be revealed soon!
