Oni Press July 2025 Solicitations Explore Horror, Sci-Fi Identity, and Cross-Dimensional Escapism | popgeeks.com
The July 2025 line up from Oni Press brings a wave of dark genre experimentation, multiversal comedy, and thoughtful sci-fi, underscoring the publisher’s dedication to original storytelling. Anchored by new entries in horror anthologies and significant creator-led projects, this month’s titles balance tonal extremes, offering grim introspection and absurdist spectacle in equal measure.
Horror and the EC Legacy Reimagined
Launching this month, Catacomb of Torment begins a new horror anthology hosted by the grotesque “Tormentor,” continuing the EC Comics-inspired approach seen in Epitaphs from the Abyss. Writers John Arcudi, Marguerite Bennett, and Matt Kindt headline the 40-page debut, which includes three new tales and a remastered EC classic. Simultaneously, Blood Type #2 continues EC’s modern revival with a sardonic vampire tale by Corinna Bechko and Andrea Sorrentino, blending tropical satire with creeping dread.
The final issue of Plague House also arrives in July, concluding Michael W. Conrad and Dave Chisholm’s haunted desert saga. It dovetails with Dark Regards #3, where a fictionalized black metal origin story veers into surreal territory. Across these titles, Oni’s horror slate expands genre boundaries while drawing stylistic inspiration from comics’ past.
Rick and Morty, Sci-Fi Conspiracies, and Satirical Chaos
The publisher’s most high-profile event kicks off with Rick and Morty vs. The Universe, a four-part storyline promising dimension-hopping chaos. Writer Daniel Kibblesmith teams with artist Jarrett Williams for what’s billed as the first true Rick and Morty comic event, escalating stakes and absurdity. The series’ humor contrasts with Benjamin #2, a cerebral sci-fi tale from Ben H. Winters and Leomacs. It follows a resurrected author drawn into a secret society hoping to reboot imagination itself, another example of Oni embracing genre-bending narratives.
Meanwhile, Out of Alcatraz #5 concludes its period crime tale with a standoff at the border, and The Sixth Gun: Battle for the Six returns after 15 years with creators Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt. The latter is presented as a prestige-format mini exploring legacy, mysticism, and the repetition of power through time.
Licensed Worlds With New Narrative Ambitions from Oni Press
Adventure Time’s newest issue, Adventure Time #4, sends Finn and Jake into a cosmic dance battle, maintaining its kid-friendly humor while adding surrealist energy. Rick and Morty extends its reach further with new manga (After-School Science Club) and collected volumes like Ricklemania, each embracing different stylistic angles for the IP.
Also ongoing is Biker Mice From Mars #2, a serialized update on the cult property. Melissa Flores and Daniel Gete’s narrative leans into planetary rebellion and environmental catastrophe. In contrast, Benjamin, Plague House, and Blood Type explore isolation and dread in settings that feel at once grounded and allegorical.
Oni Press Prestige Storytelling and Longform Epics
Titles like The Sixth Gun, Benjamin, and Dark Regards exemplify Oni’s reliance on three-to-four issue formats for genre-literate storytelling, while Epitaphs from the Abyss Vol. 2 compiles stories from acclaimed creators like Cullen Bunn, Andrea Sorrentino, and Stephanie Phillips. Other prestige releases—Heaven, West Virginia and Hobtown Mystery Stories Vol. 3—push into literary comics territory, examining grief, paranoia, and identity through slow-burn character work.
Meanwhile, SubZero Vol. 3, Mika and the Chiller, and Agent Cupcake round out the lineup with targeted entries for YA and all-ages readers. These releases mirror the variety of tone and format Oni continues to invest in.
July 2025’s Defining Themes and Closing Thoughts
Oni’s July slate doesn’t just push horror—it contextualizes it within memory, legacy, and satire. Whether it’s EC homages, meta-dimension comedy, or genre-fused mysteries, the publisher commits to stylized experimentation. While major properties like Rick and Morty offer scale, Oni’s real triumph lies in the creative freedom afforded to creators across the board. The result is a catalog that remains narratively daring without compromising accessibility.

AFTER 15 YEARS AND A MILLION BULLETS . . . THE SIXTH GUN IS REBORN!
In 1866, out of the ruins of the failed Confederate uprising, a race to claim six objects of unfathomable occult power began, thrusting the fate of humanity into the hands of an ordinary young woman and a hard-nosed gunslinger who, together, were our last, best hope to forestall Armageddon.
They prevailed, but at a terrible price.
But that was then. This is now. Three decades later, as the gears of a new millennium begin to grind on the cusp of the 20th century, THE SIXTH GUN is about to be REBORN once more—as it has been countless times across the eons. This time, however, a brigade of familiar fighters lies in wait to meet THE SIXTH GUN’s nigh-limitless power head on . . . alongside a secret cabal that wish to harness its unspeakable power to incept a new century of war, genocide, and suffering.
Only one can survive to claim victory. THE BATTLE FOR THE SIX starts now!
In celebration of 15 years of one of the most beloved smash-hits in the history of creator-owned comics, return to the Eisner Award–nominated world of THE SIXTH GUN as co-creators Cullen Bunn (Harrow County) and Brian Hurtt (The Midnite Show) reunite for an all-new, self-contained entry point into the acclaimed saga that fantasy icon Michael Moorcock calls “an epic in its own right”—as told across three extra-sized, ad-free issues in a deluxe prestige format!

Lamont’s father was not a good man. And now Lamont’s father is dead.
When Lamont arrives in the tiny Appalachian town of Heaven, West Virginia, its lush landscape feels stubbornly at odds with the roiling anxiety that’s come to define his inner life. Living there and learning the art of foraging and tea-making from his kind, stoic aunt LaToya should be idyllic—even a paradise.
But in the shadows of Heaven’s woods, Lamont sees a dark, hulking figure, long, glimmering teeth, and piercing red eyes. No one else seems to see this beast . . . not his aunt, and not the handsome cowboy, Coyote, whose gentle voice evokes the comforting, electric aroma of LaToya’s brews. Escaping its voraciously hungry pursuit feels impossible, and Lamont will have to face more than the darkness of the woods to do so.
A singular and seductive meditation on the complexity of grief, healing, and the power of the natural world by cartoonist Ravi Teixeira (A Quick & Easy Guide to Coming Out).

Morty falls in love at first sight with the new exchange student from Japan—Chigusa—and when she shows him her favorite manga about after-school clubs, he knows just the advisor for his hastily constructed new Science Club: Rick Sanchez. With his ragtag group of teen losers (plus Chigusa) and a cursory knowledge of Japanese school clubs he picked up from skimming Morty’s manga, Rick leads the club in a competition against the preexisting, sanctioned, totally normal Science Club, creating a portal to Akihabara, nexus of anime and manga culture, and famous home of Tokyo’s maid cafés.
Brimming with inspiration from their trip (and chased out of the country by the maids who have turned on Rick) the Science Club prepares for their school festival with a maid café of their own making—a science maid café selling questionable concoctions . . .
