Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt’s Fort Psycho #2 Ups The Ante in September – Featuring Covers by Lewis LaRosa, Mike Del Mundo, Joe Palmer, and more!

Oni Press and Flux House present your first look inside Fort Psycho #2 (of 12), the next chapter of the year’s most explosive action comic from New York Times bestselling writer Matt Kindt and adrenaline-racing artist Brian Hurtt! This September, descend even deeper into the off-the-grid island prison stocked with trained killers, secret betrayals, and the long-buried truth about the mission that led them there as the second issue of the high-octane new series Fort Psycho #2 unholsters the big guns with covers and variants from series co-creator Brian Hurtt alongside dangerously talented artists Lewis LaRosa, Mike Del Mundo, and Joe Palmer!

As the secrets of the forfeited island prison called Fort Psycho deepen, the paranoid tension between its secrets-agents-turned-inmates comes to a rolling boil! Our hero holds his breath because this gilded cage is still a cage, even if it’s an island paradise! With Jason tasked with tracking down the true identity of the Seven Seals’ secretive leader, known as the Blue Bishop, he’s finding it harder and harder to separate his former comrades and future foes. Anyone could be involved, and everyone has something to lose—the pressure is on to unearth the rat among this band of ex-commando espionage agents! After all, Jason has no choice . . . if he fails, the consequences will be far worse than his prison sentence.

Debuting in August, each issue of Fort Psycho will maximize the power of comic book storytelling in the most aggressive and high intensity manner ever attempted on the printed page, thanks to a new publishing format called PSYCHO-VISION. Upping the ante with upgrades across all 12 issues in Kindt and Hurtt’s masterclass in super-spy betrayal and subversion, each issue of Fort Psycho will feature panton-keyed covers on 10 pt. cardstock with a maximized, ad-free format brimming with back matter (to say nothing of the violence and harsh language).

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL, FELLOW PSYCHOS! CAN’T ENOUGH SUPER-SPY VERSUS SUPER-SPY ACTION? DON’T TO MISS A SINGLE SHOT FIRED? Then the Fort Psycho #1-12 Pre-Order Bonus Bundle is just for you! When readers pre-order all 12 issues of Fort Psycho by June 29th, they’ll receive a special reward: Fort Psycho #0 — the only single-issue compilation of three new short stories debuting across the coming year into one standalone comic book. Fort Psycho’s prized Bundle Buddies – widely regarded for their rugged disposition and prized tactical know-how – will ALSO receive specially modified, pre-order variant editions of Brian Hurtt’s covers for all 12 issues … now embellished with witty dialogue from the mind of Matt Kindt and specialty corner box artwork by Brian Hurtt. These covers will arrive monthly alongside the standard issues, but there’s a catch: They are strictly limited to orders placed at FOC for issue #1. Don’t miss your shot: be sure to tell your local comic shop you want Fort Psycho #1-12 Pre-Order Bonus Bundle no later than June 29th!

Duck and run for cover when the brand-new, ticking time bomb of comic book firepower Fort Psycho #2 from master storytellers Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt detonates this summer in comic shops everywhere with covers by Hurtt, Lewis LaRosa, Mike Del Mundo, and Joe Palmer — and don’t forget to tell your comic shop you want the Fort Psycho #1-12 Pre-Order Bonus Bundle no later than June 29th if you know what’s good for you!

Destination Kill #1 is Future Pop Action Rooted in Today’s Ills

Destination Kill #1

The year is 2125, and the all-powerful corporation Overcon uses its robot workers to pour our drinks and dispense our meds, all while rebuilding London’s Central City into a hyper-modern megalopolis bolted together in its own image. But as Overcon prepares to celebrate the first year of its Paradise Loop—a superfast transatlantic train that connects the Central City to New York in under 60 minutes—an unwieldy army of displaced human workers floods the streets with weapons, plotting an attack at the anniversary gala. Enter: Gina Serene, a stressed-out, pill-popping police detective in desperate need of a vacation and her ex-partner turned P.I., Lance Wingman—who are now the only thing standing between Overcon’s skyscraper-sized fist and the worker uprising that threatens to bring Britain’s capital crashing down around them. Destination Kill #1 takes us to the future for a story rooted in today’s economic and political climate.

Written by Joe Palmer, Destination Kill #1 is an interesting debut with a style about it that would feel right at home with something like 2000 AD or Heavy Metal. Set in the future, a corporation has taken over major cities and rebuilt them with robots. Those robots seemingly have displaced human workers who are fighting back against the corporate overlords. While we haven’t quite gotten to full scale assaults, the series feels like it’s rooted in the unease of today. Technology, particularly AI, is displacing workers adding to an already shaky economic reality.

At the center of the comic is a police detective, Gina Serene, who wants a vacation but gets dragged into the current conflict. There’s a rather interesting aspect to the comic with the center being a police officer, a position and job that today is met with skepticism and full of abuse. Serene does come off as a likely clean but flawed cop in a department where something is off. The police go overboard in their reactions and the response to the current rise of the workers feels odd overall. It creates suspicion but also lifts Serene up as a character we might be able to generally trust.

Palmer also provides the art the lettering and joined on color by Folasade Olaseni. The style of the comic has a bit like Simon Bisley’s work on Lobo and would fit neatly into 2000 AD or Heavy Metal like the general story. There’s something chaotic about the art that fits so well in a society that itself is melting down. The designs are intriguing in that the comic looks very futuristic but it doesn’t distract as well. There’s a lot of detail and work to give you an idea of the world but it’s done to help shape the world as opposed to really drive home the story itself.

Destination Kill #1 is a nice debut that’s entertaining and shows off a lot of potential. It has a rather kinetic and frenetic feel to it all as the story itself spins into chaos. It’s a solid read for those that enjoy futuristic stories with something to say about our current world, luckily it also entertains with madcap action.

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.

Oni Press releases a trailer For Jay Stephens’ Dwellings

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.
