Ahead of the ComicsPRO Comic Book Industry Meeting, taking place February 18–21 in Glendale, California, AIPT can exclusively reveal that Oni Press has announced an impressive lineup of exclusive giveaways and creator appearances for attending retailers. The award-winning publisher is bringing early access materials from some of its biggest and most anticipated projects of 2026, offering ComicsPRO members a first look at what’s shaping up to be a major year for the company.
Among the highlights are giveaways tied to Oni’s newly announced ARCHIE publishing line, the upcoming launch of Matt Kindt’s paranoia-fueled FLUX HOUSE imprint—featuring MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED and FORT PSYCHO—and the record-breaking MURDER DRONES series, which adapts the global animated hit from Glitch Productions. Retailers will also have access to signed advance copies of several notable graphic novels, including BENJAMIN by Ben H. Winters and Leomacs, Patrick Horvath’s savage satire FREE FOR ALL, and Shawn Kuruneru’s blood-soaked western CAVE GRAVE.
Oni Press will further mark the occasion with creator signings and appearances throughout the weekend. Scheduled guests include Juan Gedeon, Patrick Horvath, Brian Hurtt, Matt Kindt, Curt Pires, Ben H. Winters, and additional surprise creators yet to be announced.
ComicsPRO will also serve as the first opportunity for retailers to see merchandise from Oni’s newly revealed partnership with Archie Comic Publications. The collaboration signals a bold new era for the Riverdale cast and officially kicks off in Fall 2026 with three ongoing monthly series: ARCHIE #1 by W. Maxwell Prince, Fábio Moon, and Nick Cagnetti; SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH #1 by Corinna Bechko and Kano; and ARCHIE IN HELL #1 by Patrick Horvath and Tyler Crook.
In addition, Oni is spotlighting FLUX HOUSE, the new imprint created by Matt Kindt and billed as a nerve-jangling experiment in comics storytelling. The imprint launches this summer with MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED and the 12-issue series FORT PSYCHO, co-created with Brian Hurtt.
Rounding out the offerings are signed book plates for Oni’s recent creator-owned standouts from 2025, including BENJAMIN, FREE FOR ALL, and CAVE GRAVE, all of which will be available to retailers attending the show.
With exclusive items, early access to major launches, and a packed roster of creators, Oni Press is positioning ComicsPRO as a preview of what may be its most ambitious year yet.
