This mesmerizing series treads some of the same ground as Blade Runner. The story tackles the issues of what makes us unique. It also reminds us that we may work towards aims that offer stability without being just. The fun, detailed art and vibrant color helps us to absorb the serious themes and hard-hitting action. You may find yourself identifying with the lead character. Or you may sympathize with his adversary's plight. But then, what do you do if you work to safeguard the government and you discover your duplicate is trying to foment a revolution? Or vice versa?

NO ONE ESCAPES THE SKIN POLICE! Oni Press,
the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of
groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to present
a first look inside SKIN POLICE 2 #1 (of 4) – an ALL-NEW JUMPING-ON POINT
into the violent and visceral world of a future dystopia pushed to its
breaking point by mistrust, misinformation, and an epidemic of murderous
clones run rampant! Rising star Jordan Thomas (Mugshots) and powerhouse artist Daniel Gete (Biker Mice from Mars),
usher in an explosive new chapter for the high-octane saga that IGN
calls “science fiction mixed with a healthy dose of over-the-top
violence” with a brand-new first issue entry-point coming to comic shops
everywhere September 3rd!
Agents
Eckis and Sheen swore an oath to protect the civilian population from
the imminent danger of the rogue black market clones known as “Dupes”
that can suddenly “pop” without any advance warning—which means any
passerby on the street or subway could possibly become an unhinged spree
killer in a moment’s notice. In return for their service, however, the
public has dubbed Eckis, Sheen, and their fellow agents the “Skin
Police”—an insult handed back by a populace unwilling to sacrifice their
own civil rights for the agents’ unprecedented duties in light of the
Dupe threat. But what if these illegally manufactured clone
doppelgängers weren’t as deadly as initially believed? What if they
could be saved? And, as the underground resistance movement supporting
them grows, what if their leader proved to be someone uncomfortably
familiar to the Skin Police?
Now is the time to find out why the high-powered, adrenaline-addled sci-fi/action hybrid that began with SKIN POLICE VOL. 1: CRIMES AGAINST NATURE – on sale now in trade paperback – has racked up praise and accolades from readers, fans, and creators around the world:
“Wild [and] gorgeous… Equal parts gripping and unnerving, making me put my hand slightly over my eyes while reading, but never looking away… Engrossing, timely, and wildly entertaining.”—FREAK SUGAR
“If
you like your science fiction mixed with a healthy dose of over-the-top
violence, then you'll want to keep an eye out for Skin Police. This upcoming four-issue miniseries from Oni Press combines a Blade Runner-like premise with copious amounts of blood and gore.”—IGN
“Lots of fun… Artistically it’s really inventive… An incredible start to what looks to be a bold, brand-new sci fi tale adventure.”—MY KIND OF WEIRD
“Skin
Police is Thomas and Gete firing on all glorious, post apocalyptic
cylinders. Forget World Building, this is all out World Destroying, and every page is a molotov hurled at the reader.” –CIAN TORMEY (Alan Scott: The Green Lantern, Son of Superman, The Question)
"Full of good art and good ideas, it's faint praise to say this is the best book I've ever read about psychotic clones, but I defy anyone to make a better one." –JOHN ALLISON (Giant Days, Great British Bump-Off)
“Jordan and Daniel have created one of the best sci-fi comics in recent years,
it's like Morrison, Cronenberg and Moebius have come together in an
entity with its own personality. I hope to continue enjoying this series
for a long time!” –JORGE FORNES (Batman, Rorschach, Danger Street)
"I
can't think of a better example of Tech Noir available in comic book
form than SKIN POLICE. Even then, I don't think that genre label fully
describes the thrills to be found within its pages. Writer Jordan Thomas
has cooked up a feverish brew of Dystopian Detective Fiction and
gleefully laced it with a generous dose of Body Horror. The artistic
team of Daniel Gete and Jason Wordie present this sci-fi concoction as a
quasi-psychedelic visual feast. Like the best comic books, there's a
lot here for the reader to devour. SKIN
POLICE is an absolute banquet of detailed world-building, brimming with
twisty plot revelations that utterly demand multiple sittings." –CHRIS WESTON (Paranoid Gardens, The Invisibles, Lucifer)
Featuring covers by Daniel Gete, Jorge Fornés (Batman, Rorschach), Alison Sampson (Department of Truth), and Clara Meath (Midnight Vista)! – the hyper-kinetic, near-future action epic SKIN POLICE
returns with a no-holds-barred turning point for a world where morally
gray law enforcement, black market illegal cloning, and political strife
are about to boil over in a hail of gunfire when Jordan Thomas and Daniel Gete unleash SKIN POLICE 2 #1 (of 4) on September 3rd!
