Glitch Productions and Oni Press have revealed the publication of MURDER DRONES: HOME Special #1 for May 2026. This 40-page comic will adapt the episode Home, exploring drone N's memories of his human family on Copper 9. The double-sized edition promises to expand the series' lore with details prior to the main events.
Adaptation and Lore Expansion in Physical Format 📖
The project involves a transition from animated to static medium, where Soo Lee's art must capture the series' aesthetic and dynamics. Wyatt Kennedy's script not only adapts the story but also inserts new canonical material that connects the seasons. This publishing strategy, launching the special before issue 4 of the regular series, aims to maintain audience engagement and expand the narrative in a complementary format.
Because even killer drones have childhood memories 😅
It seems that the trend of traumatic origins isn't just for superheroes; now it also reaches worker drones. While N used to worry about melting humans, now we can see him in almost normal family moments. A good way to remind us that, before being a machine of destruction, he probably had to deal with boring household chores on his hive planet.
