Posted on by Leave a comment
If Destruction Be Our Lot #1, second printing

Bestselling co-writers Matthew Rosenberg and Mark Elijah Rosenberg, artist extraordinaire Andy Macdonald, colorist Francesco Segala, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou have a bonafide hit on their hands with a complete sell-out at the distributor level of If Destruction Be Our Lot #1. This action-packed, sci-fi thrill-ride is being rushed back to print this week by Image Comics in order to keep up with escalating demand.

Check out our review of the first issue of If Destruction Be Our Lot #1.

This second printing will feature cover art by frequent-Matthew Rosenberg collaborator Tyler Boss and pays homage to the pair’s What’s the Furthest Place from Here? series’ issue #1 cover.

In If Destruction Be Our Lot, humanity is extinct and all that remains are the robots who once helped us.The robots are happier now, doing their work without human interference. But not Abe, a robotic replicant of Abraham Lincoln in search of meaning beyond the daily grind. Abe believes there must be something more out there beyond the edge of the city. After nearly getting killed, he’s determined to wander the Earth until he finds it… or gets recycled trying.

If Destruction Be Our Lot #1, second printing (Lunar Code 0326IM8564) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, June 3.

The Cult Classic is Back and The Star League Rises Again in July in The Last Starfighter!

Posted on by Leave a comment

More than 40 years later, Mad Cave Studios brings The Last Starfighter back with a long-awaited continuation of the cult classic. The 1984 sci-fi adventure film, directed by Nick Castle and written by Jonathan Betuel, expanded the boundaries of visual effects and became a defining touchstone for a generation raised on arcades and imagination.

In collaboration with Betuel and producer Paul Davidson, writers Benjamin Raab and Deric A. Hughes join forces with artist Willi Roberts, colorist Francesco Segala, and Ashcan Award-winning letterer Rob Jones, with covers for The Last Starfighter #1 by Taurin Clarke, Rahzzah, David LaFuente, and Stephanie Hans, for a thrilling and heartfelt journey through a newly expanded universe.

Small-town teenager Alex Rogan has already saved multiple worlds. But that was only the beginning of his story. Forty years after the cult-classic movie that pioneered CGI and inspired generations of fans, an all-new story picks up from the end credits and takes off for the stars! Now the leader…and sole member…of the Star League, Alex must rebuild the galaxy’s only defense force against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada. Introducing a new cast of Starfighters alongside fan-favorite faces—and new killers and cutthroats in the shadowy employ of the Ko-Dan—The Last Starfighter #1 launches a sci-fi legacy to new heights! 

A defining piece of sci-fi returns with its original creative voice intact, expanding the legacy for longtime fans while opening the door for a new generation raised on expansive, character-driven space epics.

The Last Starfighter #1 hits comic shops July 1, 2026 (FOC June 8), launching an all-new chapter that expands the universe, introduces a new class of Starfighters, and resets the stakes for the galaxy ahead.

Get Ready For a Spooky, Spellbinding, and Seriously Stunning Autumn with Oni Press’ Fall 2026 Slate of Creator-Owned Graphic Novels

Posted on by

Oni Press has announced their ambitious and eclectic fall slate of creator-owned graphic novels for fall 2026. The list of titles is far-ranging, both in their ambition and their range of genres.

A GHOST ARM MADE OF ANGRY GHOSTS HC

WRITTEN BY OLIVER MERTZ
ART & COVER BY ALEX DIOTTO

From writer and colorist extraordinaire Oliver Mertz (The Monuments, First Law of Mad Science) and acclaimed artist Alex Diotto (Youth, Indigo Children) comes a weird tale of conspiracy, faded superheroics, and suburban angst in ʼ90s Washington, D.C.

Sixteen-year-old Ari Ackerman just witnessed a murder. Or two. Or maybe he didn’t. He’s not quite sure. What he does know is that he loves the Washington, D.C., punk scene and is trying very hard to process the perpetual impending death (and frequent resurrections) of his cancer-stricken father. Ari’s best friend, Maya Meng, just wants to hang out and go see Jawbox play at the Black Cat. But sadly, an escalating series of unexplained deaths can really ruin a perfectly good day.

For readers who like What’s the Furthest Place from Here?, Love and Rockets, David Lynch, Daniel Clowes, Seinfeld, Agatha Christie, Powers, Fugazi, and Wes Anderson, A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts is sure to evoke all the feelings that come with being an outsider, making sense of the world around you, and finding your place in it.

CANTICLE OF LOST SOULS HC

WRITTEN BY MICHELE MONTELEONE
ILLUSTRATED BY FREDDIE TANTO
COLORED BY FRANCESCO SEGALA

This dark exploration of identity and responsibility in the face of evil from Michele Monteleone (Dylan Dog) and Freddie Tanto (Ghost Stories) is an engrossing journey for fans of young adult fantasy!

Teenage orphan Leah lives in a small village a few miles away from the deadly swamp. According to local legend, in ancient times the swamp was a lake with an imposing castle at the center, until someone awoke something behind those walls that needed to be kept asleep, and the castle collapsed as the swamp took over. Now people live precariously on its borders, as the swamp spawns “things” that the Church calls Demons.

When her village’s greatest hero is killed fighting off one of these monsters, leaving the shriveled, weak remnant of its evil contained in a lantern, Leah is chosen to carry the demon to the center of the swamp and cast it into the black pit. But as she journeys she’ll encounter greater threats than that held tightly in her hand, and the demon raises questions about why Leah would risk her life for the village that would send her on this perilous task in the first place.

What will Leah find in the ruins of the collapsed castle and the black pit? How far do we have to travel to know ourselves?
