Oni Press has revealed the first look inside Cemetery Kids Don’t Die #1 – a near-future descent into a terrifying digital world where each new level has killer consequences! Plunging deep into the uncanny borderlands between science fiction and horror, the next adrenaline-pumping Oni 2024 release arrives on shelves February 7 from acclaimed creators Zac Thompson and Daniel Irizarri!
The 21st century sucks hard, but it’s made somewhat tolerable by the latest and greatest media innovations. Enter the Dreamwave: the first gaming console played entirely while you sleep. The obsession of millions around the globe, it’s also the one point of solace for four friends known as the “Cemetery Kids,” who spend their nights roaming the endless maps of the most brutal horror game ever created as they seek to dethrone the “King of Sleep”—the Dreamwave’s biggest, baddest, and most mysterious boss.
Which was fun . . . until one of them doesn’t wake up and finds their consciousness locked inside a horror game that is anything but imaginary. Now, the three remaining Cemetery Kids must navigate a forbidden landscape to rescue their friend—and pray that the secret lurking at its center doesn’t follow them home.
Cemetery Kids Don’t Die #1 features a truly stunning line-up of covers from some of the industry’s most subversively minded talents – including Daniel Irizarri, Dustin Weaver, James Stokoe, and Vlad Legostaev.
