The press release follows:

Media Release – Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to announce that MURDER DRONES #1 (of 6) – adapting Glitch Production’s worldwide animation phenomenon in a new series written by Wyatt Kennedy (Nights, Wiccan: Witches’ Road) and illustrated by Jo Mi-Gyeong (Eve, Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) – has sold out at the distributor level and is returning to stores for a Second Printing. Additionally, SPIRIT OF THE SHADOWS #1 (of 5) from co-creators Nick Cagnetti (Pink Lemonade, Archie) and Daniel Ziegler (Elodie) has now sold out for a second time and will return with a brand-new Third Printing! Both new printings of MURDER DRONES #1 and SPIRIT OF THE SHADOWS #1 will arrive in comic shops everywhere on March 25th with FOCs on March 2nd!

MURDER DRONES #1 (of 6) SECOND PRINTING

Based on Glitch Productions’ global animation phenomenon created by Liam Vickers and now streaming on Prime Video, it’s three cheers for “destroy all humans” as all-star creators Wyatt Kennedy (Nights, Marvel Voices) and Jo Mi-Gyeong (Eve, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) unleash the record-setting comics adaptation of the series that you have watched 330 million times: MURDER DRONES!

In the far future on the desolate exoplanet designated Copper 9, the humans are long gone but the robotic worker drones they created to mine the planet’s resources are still hard at work. Together, they have managed to forge their own makeshift

society . . . or so they thought until a previously unknown kind of robot—the dreaded “Murder Drones”—are activated by a long-forgotten human-scripted protocol to disassemble any worker that deviates from its original programming. But when a rebellious young worker drone named Uzi forms an unlikely alliance with two disassembly drones—Serial Designations N and V—can they, together, uncover the secrets of their origins . . . and stop the spread of the unsettling mechanical virus known as the Absolute Solver?

Robots, violence, teen angst, mad science, love, loss, doors, hormones, and chaos! What more could you ask for? A pen, perhaps? It’s a clicky pen!

(Ask your kids. They’ll get it!)

Once, Erik Leroux was a mortal musician, selflessly devoted to his music and his true love, Katrina . . . until his sudden death plunged his soul into the carnival-like torments of the Spirit World beyond our own. Now, reborn as a phantom with fleeting memories of his life among the living and forever cursed to bear the arcane costume his corpse wore to the grave, Erik will claw his way back from the infernal planes to uncover the mysteries of his own life . . . and avenge the dark sins that transformed him into the SPIRIT OF THE SHADOWS!
