ONI PRESS SHARES LOCAL COMIC SHOP DAY EXCLUSIVES
Yes, sometimes we at Oni Press like to be funny or clever, but right now, we’d like to put that aside and say with the utmost sincerity, THANK YOU. Thank you to the locally owned independent comic book specialty stores. Thank you for supporting Oni Press comics. Thank you for providing the fans with an experience: the excitement of walking into a brick-and-mortar, the welcoming smell of freshly printed comic pages, being greeted by a familiar face, and having that rush when a cover for something you've never heard of catches your eye. We couldn’t do it without you.
To the fans, THANK YOU for shopping at your local comic shop, for seeking out the personalized experience, and for creating a diverse and unique community. We couldn’t do it without you, either.
To support ComicsPRO’s Local Comic Shop Day™, Oni Press is thrilled to offer three exclusive items: Rick and Morty Local Comic Shop Day Treasury Edition, Invader Zim Local Comic Shop Day Treasury Edition, and Exodus: The Life After #1 Local Comic Shop Day Edition.
Oni Press’ exclusive LCSD editions will arrive in registered stores on November 28th, coinciding with Small Business Saturday. To discover participating stores, please visit the Event Locator page at localcomicshopday.com.
Each exclusive item will be print to order.

Exodus: The Life After #1 LCSD Edition: Jude has been sent right back where he started: Purgatory. With no memory of his previous adventures or relationship, Jude’s existence is stark and empty.
