SDCC | Oni Press announces four new graphic novels for Spring 2025

The line-up includes OGNs by David Rubín, Craig Hurd-McKenney, Noah Bailey, Matt Lesniewski and more.

Oni Press has revealed their Spring 2025 graphic novel line-up, which they highlighted yesterday at a panel at the San Diego Comic Con.

The line-up includes four new original graphic novels, and a new edition of an older one:

  • El Fuego, written and drawn by David Rubín, who has worked on Cosmic Detective, the Black Hammer universe titles and more.
  • Soma by Fernando Llor, an award-winning writer from Spain, and Carles Dalmau, who worked on the video game Cult of the Lamb
  • Station Grand by Xeric grant-awarded and Ignatz Award-nominated writer Craig Hurd-McKenney, and Tremor Dose and Double Walker artist Noah Bailey
  • A new edition of the Eisner-nominated The Freak by Matt Lesniewski, which was originally published by the now defunct AdHouse Books.

“The adult graphic novels for the start of 2025 showcase an incredibly skilled lineup of writers and artists whose sensibilities enthrall, delight and entertain through grand and sometimes unnerving explorations of the human experience,” said Sierra Hahn, Oni’s editor in chief. “Readers will get lost in the stunning visuals in these four wholly unique graphic novels represented in lush, lavish full color and the quiet purity of black and white storytelling.”

Here’s more information on each of them from the publisher:

Craig Hurd-McKenney, Rick Geary and more contribute to the 2022 titles.

With this Kickstarter, Hurd-McKenney is hoping to fund the publication of four different projects — three he’s written, along with one written and drawn by Rick Geary (A Treasury of Victorian Murder).

Smash Pages’ Alex Dueben spoke with Hurd-McKenney about his return to publishing a few years back. Since then, he’s published several chapters of Some Strange Disturbances, a supernatural Victorian story by Hurd-McKenney, Gervasio and Carlos Aon, as well as the final chapter of the Xeric Grant-funded The Brontes: Infernal Angria drawn by Geary.

Here’s a look at the four projects:
