After Human civilization falls, its robot creations survive. But whether biological or cybernetic, people will always vie for power. Some opt to keep their heads down and play cards. Others develop new guns to challenge the world order. Who will live and die? And what is a more effective strategy for survival: following orders or doing your own thing?

Murder Drones #1 Preview

 

COVER A BY ALESSIO ZONNO

 

I enjoyed attending the Oni Press panel at last year's San Diego Comic-Con. This was one of the books they announced. Jo Mi-Gyeong's art brought Maria Ingrande Mora's series Ranger Academy to life, and helped us empathize with Sage's struggles. Jo also helped Melissa Flores show us how Mark grew up on the water world of Aquitar before coming to Earth in Power Rangers Prime #6. Given Jo's impressive work for Boom! Studios, I've been looking forward to seeing more of Jo's art in this forthcoming series. Now, it's finally here: a first look inside Murder Drones #1!

AFTER 350 MILLION VIEWS AND $1.8 MILLION ON KICKSTARTER, GLITCH PRODUCTIONS’ WORLDWIDE SMASH-HIT MURDER DRONES HAS A BRAND-NEW TARGET: A COMIC SHOP NEAR YOU! Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, and independent animation powerhouse Glitch Productions are thrilled to unveil an extended preview of MURDER DRONES #1, the hugely anticipated first issue of the official, six-part adaptation of creator Liam Vickers’ fan-favorite animated series from writer Wyatt Kennedy (Nights, Wiccan: Witches’ Road) and artist Jo Mi-Gyeong (Eve, Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance)!

Step into a world where a natural disaster in the far future has flash-frozen humanity’s remote mining exoplanet, Copper 9, and their robot workers carry on. Meet Uzi, an unruly malcontent worker drone, as she struggles with the usual teenage challenges: homework, hormones, and homicidal killer robots trying to slaughter everyone she knows! No big deal, right?

In the far future on the desolate exoplanet designated Copper 9, the humans are long gone but the robotic worker drones they created to mine the planet’s resources are still hard at work. Together, they have managed to forge their own makeshift society . . . or so they thought until a previously unknown kind of robot - the dreaded “Murder Drones” - are activated by a long-forgotten possibly-eldritch protocol to disassemble any worker that deviates from its original programming. But when a rebellious young worker drone named Uzi forms an unlikely alliance with two disassembly drones—Serial Designations N and V—can they, together, uncover the secrets of their origins . . . and survive the deep twisted horrors awaiting them?

The long-awaited, record-setting comic book debut of Glitch Productions’ favorite anti-social robots begins in MURDER DRONES #1 (of 6) – featuring metal-shredding covers by Alessio Zonno (I Heart Skullcrusher), Jo Mi-Gyeong (Eve: Children of the Moon), Krooked Glasses (Invader Zim), Patricia Martín (EC’s Catacomb of Torment), and LySandra Vuong (Covenant) and on sale February 25th, 2026!

Following the annihilation of the human colonists once tasked with gutting its resources in order to maximize shareholder value, the remote exoplanet of Copper 9 stands in ruin.

Murder Drones Comes To Comics

 

 

I enjoyed attending the Oni Press panel at San Diego Comic-Con. This was one of the books they announced. Jo Mi-Gyeong's art brought Maria Ingrande Mora's series Ranger Academy to life, and helped us empathize with Sage's struggles. And recently, Jo helped Melissa Flores show us how Mark grew up on the water world of Aquitar before coming to Earth in Power Rangers Prime #6. I look forward to seeing more of Jo's art in this forthcoming series. Here's all the info on Murder Drones:

Glitch Productions’ MURDER DRONES Series Is Coming To Oni!
