In advance of San Diego Comic-Con, Oni Press has announced the publisher has signed a three-book deal with Christian Ward, with the first of three new series planned for debut in 2027.
“Over the course of almost two decades I’ve been fortunate to have enjoyed working with every major publisher, so it’s with authority when I say Oni Press is one of the very best of them,” said Ward via press release. “This last 18 months working with Sierra, Hunter, and the whole ONI team has been fantastic. Everyone is so passionate about making bold and distinctive comics and the support myself and Sami have received on our book has been second to none. So much so that whilst working on Forever Home I didn’t want my collaboration with Oni to end and I’m now beyond thrilled to be working with Oni Press on three news titles (all just as ambitious and exciting as The Forever Home) for 2027 and beyond.”
Added Oni Press editor in chief Sierra Hahn, “When Christian and I first met nearly three years ago, we quickly found common ground over the kinds of comics that excited us most–left of center stories that gave readers something thrilling and unexpected. Christian and Sami Kivelä’s THE FOREVER HOME delivers on every front. I’m pinching myself that we now have three, completely original, highly compelling new series to explore alongside Christian and his co-creators in 2027 and beyond.”
As Hahn notes, the previously announced The Forever Home is not part of this deal — meaning the three titles will be in addition to the upcoming six-issue series, with Ward working as both writer and artist in “various capacities.” As is, without spoiling too much, we’ll have a forthcoming, nice long chat with Ward coming up on the podcast and this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the amount of work he has coming up in the next 12-24 months. And congrats to him: he’s been working hard, and it’s clearly paying off.
