The Adrenaline-Fueled Series Returns with a Vengeance on September 3rd!
Return to the Action-Packed Dystopia Where You Can’t Trust Anyone. . . Not Even Yourself!
From The Press Release:
PORTLAND, OR (August 8, 2025) – 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!
