With San Diego Comic-Con around the corner, Oni Press has done something that no other comic book publisher has ever done before to promote its new series: they put it in a can. The comic in question is FORT PSYCHO, by writer Matt Kindt (BRZRKR/MIND MGMT) and artist Brian Hurtt (The Sixth Gun). Described as Mission: Impossible meets Lost, FORT PSYCHO follows a battalion of trained killers sequestered on a tropical island, tasked with uncovering why they were sent there in the first place. That is, if their so-called teammates don’t go AWOL on them first. FORT PSYCHO comic-in-a-can ad. © Oni Press/FLUX HOUSE So why put the comic in a can? Because inside its cylindrical and, let’s be honest, convenient sealed packaging for walking a con, is an exclusive issue of FORT PSYCHO that won’t be available to purchase anywhere else. As such, there will only be 250 cans, so it’s a get-’em-while-supplies-last affair for the $25 non-perishable comic at the Oni Press booth (#1829). In addition to the limited-edition shelf-stable comic, each can has a FORT PSYCHO short story written by Kindt printed on the label, a full-sized bumper sticker, and equally limited-edition pink army men readers can use to create their own makeshift battlefields. Should an attendee discover a gold army man inside their comic-in-a-can, they’ll win a MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED #1 original art cover by Kindt. They can keep the 1:50 little gold soldier toy as a treat, too. Finding a 1:5 chrome soldier will net the lucky recipient a MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED blind bag.
