DESTINATION KILL #1

Writer: Joe Palmer Artist: Joe Palmer Publisher: Oni Press Cover Price: $5.99 Release Date: May 13, 2026

The year is 2125, and the all-powerful corporation Overcon uses its robot workers to pour our drinks and dispense our meds, all while rebuilding London's Central City into a hyper-modern megalopolis bolted together in its own image. But as Overcon prepares to celebrate the first year of its Paradise Loop—a superfast transatlantic train that connects the Central City to New York in under 60 minutes—an unwieldy army of displaced human workers floods the streets with weapons, plotting an attack at the anniversary gala. Enter: Gina Serene, a stressed-out, pill-popping police detective in desperate need of a vacation and her ex-partner turned P.I., Lance Wingman—who are now the only thing standing between Overcon's skyscraper-sized fist and the worker uprising that threatens to bring Britain's capital crashing down around them.

TRADE DISCUSSION SPEED RACER VOL. 1

Writer: David Pepose Artist: Davide Tinto Publisher: Mad Cave Studios

We're going pedal to the metal in this all-new interpretation of Tatsuo Yoshida's classic manga/anime MachGoGoGo, known to Western audiences as the demon on wheels -- Speed Racer!

Speed Racer lives for the thrill of the race, but on the underground circuit, the rules are anything goes. Dodging bullets, explosions, and dirty tricks, he's got one goal: to prove he's the best. But when a dangerous syndicate targets his family, Speed's greatest challenge won't be on the track…it'll be on the streets. With the police closing in and a masked racer lurking in the shadows, Speed is about to learn that some races can't be won with horsepower alone.
