PORTLAND, OR (April 3, 2025) – IN THIS FUTURE, MONEY ISN’T EVERYTHING – IT’S THE ONLY THING. Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to announce that FREE FOR ALL #1 – the giant-sized, 56-page death match from Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Patrick Horvath – has sold out at the distributor level and will return with an all-new second printing in comic shops everywhere on April 30th! to announce the second printing for Patrick Horvath’s FREE FOR ALL #1!
A gory and gripping, entirely self-contained one-shot graphic novella, Horvath’s FREE FOR ALL #1 introduces a brave new world where greed and glory have become inextricably linked in a spectacularly brutal game that has enraptured millions around the globe–and the response from comics readers is a unanimous cry for more!
Here's what critics are saying about Patrick Horvath’s FREE FOR ALL:
“I can’t recommend it enough.”—COMICS BEAT
“This new comic book satire flips Squid Game on its head… The reason that stories like "Squid Game" and "The Hunger Games" usually feature the lower classes fighting death matches is because they're the lower classes. In the world we're all living through, it doesn't make sense for the people who control the world to submit themselves to its rules. That they would is a compelling fantasy that Horvath draws with relish.”—/FILM
“Unique and thought-provoking.”—GEEK VIBES NATION
“Incredibly relevant, poignant… This is the greatest one-shot comic book you'll read all year. Score: 10/10.”—MY KIND OF WEIRD
“[A] kooky and blood-soaked satire”—IGN
"A damn good bit of comics reading, exploitative and gnarly where it counts… Mortal Kombat for universal healthcare. Horvath conjures an idea that's fun to dream about and puts it in a strip that's fun to read."—DOOM ROCKET
“A must read.”—CAPES AND TIGHTS
“It’s easy to see why the story is a good fit for the iconoclastic Oni Press, which also publishes the resurrected EC horror and science fiction comics.”—FORBES
“I highly recommend this title to everyone and would encourage you to really think about it.” —NERD INITIATIVE
In the future, the World Finance League exists to benefit all, randomly choosing those from among the billionaires and trillionaires of the world and presenting them with a choice: either donate half of their assets to the common good — or defend them in ritual combat.
Reigning champion and real estate magnate Ted Brooks has 22 victories under his belt — defending the wealth he schemed and stabbed to get — when he is forced to face his ex-wife, Luella Dominguez, in a fight to the death. Luella has been training, waiting for this moment. But will she have what it takes to defeat the man who would do anything — absolutely anything — to keep his fortune?
It’s every shareholder for themselves when Oni Press brings Patrick Horvath’s FREE FOR ALL #1 SECOND PRINTING back to comic shops everywhere on April 30th! Pre-order with your local comics retailer by April 7th to make sure you don’t miss your second shot at one of 2025’s hardest-hitting, most critically acclaimed new releases!
