Oni Press has announced The Forever Home, a startling 6-issue sci-fi thriller from comics superstar Christian Ward (Event Horizon: Dark Descent, Batman: City of Madness) and visionary artist Sami Kivelä (Abbott) debuting in comic shops everywhere this September. Prepare to challenge the limits of time, technology, and human endurance itself as one family’s refuge from the end of the world becomes a mind-bending nightmare reaching far beyond the future. Inside: Time stands still. But outside: Something even worse than the apocalypse awaits . . .
Infamous billionaire scientist Henry D’mour could have saved the world. But he didn’t. Instead, in a desperate bid to save himself, his wife, and their two children, he constructed The Forever Home — an ark of luxury and ultramodern convenience insulated from the agony of the planet’s death throes outside its walls… and even time itself. Inside The Forever Home, only twenty minutes pass for every year on the outside… allowing the D’mour family to slowly enact their plans for a new world as their automated environment and robotic companions keep them safe. Safe on the inside. Always inside. Until a childish misstep accidentally breaks The Forever Home’s barrier… and what’s outside decides it wants back in…
“The horror of The Forever Home was easy to find,” said writer and co-creator Christian Ward. “It’s in the ever increasing news stories that seem to surround us. Stories of a changing world. Of more and more extreme weather. Where it’s not hard to imagine people in the world whose survival is being pushed to the brink by that change and of course, it’s equally not hard to believe the conspiracies of the billionaires building themselves bunkers and liferafts for imagined apocalypse. That’s the angry seed from which we grow the story of this book. Soaked in the terror that sometimes you have to go impossible lengths to keep your family safe.”
“The Forever Home is like the perfect Ray Bradbury short story by way of Parasite,” said Oni Press Editor-in Chief Sierra Hahn. “Christian and Sami’s vision is haunting, prescient, and an unforgettable look into the future of the world, with cliffhangers worthy of Brian K Vaughan. It’s exceptional storytelling.”
“Designing this post-apocalyptic book was a fascinating process of visualizing what the world looks like when the past meets the future,” said artist and co-creator Sami Kivelä. “Our house and its surroundings are filled with retro-inspired sci-fi elements and robots, but they also include many details that feel familiar to people today. I think that this contrast creates an unexpected setting that invites our readers to explore more.”
“In my two decades of comic making, The Forever Home is one of the books I’m most proud of, not least because Sami Kivelä (who I’m reteaming with after working together on Machine Gun Wizards) is doing the work of his career,” said Ward. “So I hope you’ll join us in The Forever Home, but please, make sure to close the door after you.”
Inside their high-tech refuge, they found a way to protect themselves from the apocalypse… and time itself. Outside, something has been waiting eons for a chance to get in… Step inside this startling vision of one family at the far end of time itself this September when THE FOREVER HOME #1 (of 6) comes knocking — featuring ominous covers by co-creators Christian Ward and Sami Kivelä, as well as Frany (Miles Morales: Spider-Man), David Rubín (Cosmic Detective), and Miguel Mercado (EC’s Blood Type) – on September 9th, 2026!
