The press release follows:
Media Release -- 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 unveil FREE FOR ALL #1 by Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Patrick Horvath (Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees) – a gory and gripping 56-page one-shot graphic novella coming to comic shops everywhere in March 2025! From the creator of the sold-out BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES – which earned a 2024 Eisner Award nomination for "Best New Series" – 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…
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?
Horvath's FREE FOR ALL is the first of five new, genre-colliding projects from high-profile talents for Spring 2025:
• MINE IS A LONG, LONESOME GRAVE #1 by Justin Jordan & Chris Shehan | February 2025
• OUT OF ALCATRAZ #1 by Christopher Cantwell & Tyler Crook | March 2025
• FREE FOR ALL #1 by Patrick Horvath | March 2025
• PLAGUE HOUSE #1 by Michael W. Conrad & Dave Chisholm | April 2025
• THE GODDAMN TRAGEDY #1 by Chris Condon & Shawn Kuruneru | May 2025
It's every shareholder for themselves when death and bankruptcy collide in FREE FOR ALL #1 – a giant-sized spectacle of capitalism and carnage coming this March from Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Patrick Horvath!
