In advance of Comic-Con International 2026 in San Diego, Oni Press has announced it has brokered a new, multi-project deal with multiple Eisner Award-winning creator Christian Ward.
Extending beyond the upcoming release of The Forever Home #1 – Ward’s six-part series with artist and co-creator Sami Kivelä, beginning in September – the new deal will include three new creator-owned projects featuring Ward’s talents as both a writer and artist in various capacities.
The first of three new series will debut in 2027. Creative details for all three are being kept under wraps.
This September, join visionary creators Christian Ward and Sami Kivelä as they prepare to challenge the limits of time, technology, and human endurance itself as one family’s refuge from the end of the world becomes an eon-spanning nightmare – only in The Forever Home #1.
Infamous billionaire scientist Henry D’mour could have saved the world. But he didn’t. Instead, in a desperate bid to save himself, his wife, and their two children, he constructed The Forever Home — an ark of luxury and ultramodern convenience insulated from the agony of the planet’s death throes outside its walls … and even time itself. Inside The Forever Home, only 29 minutes pass for every year on the outside … allowing the D’mour family to slowly enact their plans for a new world as their automated environment and robotic companions keep them safe. Safe on the inside. Always inside. Until a childish misstep accidentally breaks The Forever Home’s barrier … and what’s outside decides it wants back in …
To further discuss The Forever Home and the newly inked deal, Ward will be joining Oni Press at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 on Thursday, June 23rd at 11 am PT as a guest for the Oni Press: The Loudest Thing in Color panel presentation, alongside fellow creators Tyler Crook, Juan Gedeon, Bryan Lee O’Malley, Tradd Moore, Curt Pires, and more.
Ward will also be signing copies of the new High Strangeness Deluxe Edition (featuring Ward’s stunning artwork alongside contributions from Daniel Noah, Chris Condon, Dave Chisholm, and more) and free copies of the The Forever Home/Fort Psycho Preview Book at the Oni Press booth (#1829) at the following times while supplies last:
Thursday, July 23 | 12 noon – 1 pm
(with Tyler Crook, Juan Gedeon & Curt Pires)
