Oni Press has announced the release of Fort Psycho, a new 12-issue limited series arriving in August 2026. Written by Matt Kindt and illustrated by Brian Hurtt, the story is set a decade after a terrorist attack sank Singapore. The UN created an elite covert team that, after a tragic conflict, was dishonored and confined to their own island base, nicknamed Fort Psycho. The first issue, 40 pages with no ads, will be released on August 5.
The art of Kindt and Hurtt: a high-voltage narrative mechanic 🎨
Kindt and Hurtt, known for their work on Mind MGMT, apply a narrative structure here that alternates between flashbacks and real-time action. Kindt's script relies on precise dialogue and measured revelations, while Hurtt uses a clear-line style with dense shadows to reflect the tension of confinement. The island base, Fort Psycho, functions as another character: its hallways and cells are drawn with a perspective that accentuates claustrophobia. The first issue establishes the central conflict without pause.
The pre-order plan: grab all 12 issues before they lock you up too 🔒
Oni Press offers a pre-order package for all 12 issues, ideal for those who want to secure the complete series without relying on speculation. As if that weren't enough, August will also see the release of Shellshock, an EC one-shot, and the finale of Destination Kill by Joe Palmer. In other words, if you don't buy the pack, you'll have to go issue by issue, like a disgraced agent seeking redemption at the newsstand.
