“XINO is definitely not an anthology–it’s more of a premonition of what’s to come,” says Oni Press President & Publisher, Hunter Gorinson. “Using an exacting scientific process, we’ve identified a highly concentrated cast of celebrated creators from Oni’s recent past and imminent future to confront our deepest fears…and then turn them loose to do their worst.”
“Oni’s commitment to creator-owned comics runs deep, and, with XINO, we’re paying tribute to some of the company’s earliest and most beloved releases, like the seminal ONI DOUBLE FEATURE, while teeing up some big pieces for the future,” says series editor Zack Soto. “This is big-swing, big-idea science fiction with an edge—the exact kind of thing that made me fall in love with the comics medium in the first place.” With a rotating cast of new creators every month — and many more deeply held secrets yet to be revealed — we assure you everything is going to plan…and you will feel compelled to [READ XINO] each and every month for as long as your system can tolerate it.
Side effects may include: A debilitating quantity of Jungian hyper-symbolism packaged into palatable doses as “covers” by an astonishing array of artistic talents, including Matt Lesniewski (Crimson Flower), André Lima Araújo (A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance), Malachi Ward & Matt Sheean (Black Hammer Reborn), and, of course, the infamous Shaky Kane (Deadline, 2000 AD).
So, no matter what happens next, remember this: You were warned.
