ONI 2024: Inside JILL AND THE KILLERS #1 – Creators Olivia Cuartero-Briggs & Roberta Ingranata Investigate a Double-Sized and Dangerous 48-Page Debut in January!
PORTLAND, OR (January 4th, 2024) – Oni Press– the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of graphic fiction – is proud to share the first lettered look inside JILL AND THE KILLERS #1 – the double-sized FIRST ISSUE of the razor-sharp teenage thriller from rising stars Olivia Cuartero-Briggs (Mary Shelly Monster Hunter) and Roberta Ingranata (Witchblade, Doctor Who) arriving in comic shops everywhere on January 31st!
Returning to school after the unsolved disappearance of her mother, teenager Jill Estrada can’t wait for things to return to normal . . . even as her friends become compulsively obsessed with Box Killers, a true-crime subscription game where each month’s “unsolved case” is custom-tailored to the life of its player. There’s only one catch: Jill’s game seems to be all too real . . . and when her clues begin to connect to a series of disappearances in her town, Jill and her friends must uncover the truth behind these mysterious crimes before one of their own becomes the next victim.
Clocking in at 48 dangerously oversized pages, JILL AND THE KILLERS #1 is ringing in the New Year as the next must-read series from ONI 2024 – five gripping new monthly comic series from a diverse cast of award-winning creators and fast-rising stars who share a vision for the future of comics– they seek to invert, collide, and reinvent the foundational genres of horror, science fiction, crime, fantasy, and beyond:
