End of Life #6

RICHARD SMILEY STRIKES BACK! Eddie is losing allies fast, and with the tiniest drop of goodwill from Leona all but dried up, he’s got no one to turn to. Has Eddie had it with Pluto, or is a chance with Sophie enough to keep him around? While he hurts his brain thinking it over, Richard Smiley has a plan — and it involves two of the most unsavory types Eddie Stallion has ever come across in his life…
In advance of Comic-Con International in San Diego, Oni Press has unveiled the ultimate Comic-Con exclusive: the Fort Psycho “Comic In A Can”! Not a hoax! Not a psyop! Priced at just $25 and limited to only 250 copies made, this is a fully functional, resealable can that includes “SARDINES,” an exclusive, 16-page mini-comic (6″ x 4”) featuring a brand-new Fort Psycho short story by New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt and hard-charging artist Brian Hurtt set before the events of Fort Psycho #1!*
AND THAT’S JUST THE TIP OF THIS (CAN-SHAPED) ICEBERG!
Also included inside:
Already feeling the pull of “Comic in a Can” fever? Us, too … and there’s only way to stop it: By visiting Psycho Mart inside the Oni Press booth (#1829) at San Diego Comic-Con to put your all-American sense of consumerism to the test. Better yet: Get it signed! Series creators Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt will be appearing as special guests of Oni Press and signing throughout the weekend, so there will be plenty of opportunities to watch two tenured comics veterans figure out how to apply their signatures to a three-dimensional cylinder.
And that’s just the story picks up where the “Comic in a Can” left off on August X in Fort Psycho #1 (of 12) – the brand-new, ticking time bomb of comic book firepower from master storytellers Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt detonating this summer with covers by Hurtt, Lewis LaRosa, Inaki Miranda, David Rubin, Kyle Starks, and Dustin Weaver!
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.
Don’t miss Fort Pyscho #1! You’ve been warned.
* Are you the kind of guy or gal who plans ahead? Then you surely ordered the Fort Pyscho #1-12 PRE-ORDER BONUS BUNDLE … which means you’ll be receiving Fort Pyscho #0, which will also include a reprint of “SARDINES” alongside two other short stories by Kindt & Hurtt. Congrats on being ahead of the game, soldier!
Dark Horse Books presents the Where Monsters Lie Omnibus, a new paperback edition collecting Volume 1, Volume 2, and the final chapter from the wildly successful Kickstarter of the hit meta-horror-comedy. Written by Kyle Starks, illustrated by Piotr Kowalski, colored by Vladimir Popov, and lettered by Josh Reed.
Haven’t you always wondered what slasher monsters—the masked home-invasion family, the mindless unkillable monster, the serial killer trapped in a doll—do for those couple of years in-between their murder sprees? They’re at Wilmhurst—a gated community in the middle of nowhere where they relax—or try to—until they get the call to go out and kill again.
Connor Hayes survived his first slasher in summer camp. A handful of years later, he barely escaped a psychopath who built torture puzzles for his victims. Since then, he has been training and planning to run into these creatures again. He’s a respected special agent. And now that he knows where the monsters lie, he’s planning for war.
Where Monsters Lie Omnibus (paperback, 280 pages, 6.625” x 10.1875”) arrives in comic shops and bookstores on January 19, 2027. It is now available for preorder from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop and bookstore for $29.99.
Richard Smiley has kidnapped Trent and taken him back to the abandoned Wrongdog theme park…but have the people of Pluto softened Eddie enough to care? It’s a confrontation between two incredibly annoying guys, with a fallout that will leave Eddie at his lowest. Which is really saying something!
