Oni Press is launching a comic convention-based series just in time for selling at San Diego Comic-Con.

LONG CON #1
(W) Dylan Meconis, Ben Coleman (A) Emilee Denich, M. Victoria Robado (CA) Emilee Denich
Five years ago, a cataclysmic event obliterated everything within a fifty mile radius of the Los Spinoza Convention Center—including the attendees of Long Con, the world's biggest (and longest) comic convention. But unknown to the outside world, the con-goers not only survived, they kept the convention going. When proof of their survival surfaces, reporter Victor Lai is sent to investigate—after all, he was covering the con that fateful day and escaped mere minutes before everything went kablooie… abandoning his nerdy pal Dez in the process. So clearly he's the perfect person for the job, and he won't get trapped inside like some kinda idiot. Right? (STL084932)

COSTUME QUEST GN INVASION OF CANDY SNATCHERS
Klem and his pals aren't the most popular Grubbins in candy-starved Repugia, but Klem's hoping that will change once he brings a hoard of candy back from the human world. After all, it's Halloween, so there's candy everywhere! Unfortunately, there're also bullies everywhere, ready to steal all of Klem's sweet, sweet loot. Will he and his friends make it out alive, or are they doomed to an eternity of sugar-free torment? From the deliciously magical world of the hit video games Costume Quest and Costume Quest 2, Oni Press presents an adorable Halloween-themed graphic novel from Double Fine Productions (BROKE AGE, PSYCHONAUTS) and comics superstar Zac Gorman (MAGIC GAME TIME) — now an animated series on Amazon!
