A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts: See the Weirdest New Superhero Comic of 2026
If you crave a superhero comic with a heavy dose of punk rock energy and a bizarre sense of humor, then you'll want to check out our exclusive preview of Oni Press' A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts.
A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts is a unique and challenging new comic from 2026. It blends elements of superhero tales, punk rock-inspired slice of life stories, and classic Vertigo Comics feel. Matthew Rosenberg describes it as "like if Daniel Clowes and David Lapham collaborated to create the X-Men, without much concern for world-saving."
The preview of the first issue is available in the slideshow gallery. Oliver Mertz, who wrote and colored the series, and Alex Diotto, who drew it, are the creators behind this unconventional superhero comic. Oni Press published the series. The story follows teenager Ari Ackerman, who is deeply involved in the punk scene in Washington D.C., and his best friend Maya Meng.
Ari's father, battling cancer, keeps dying and coming back to life, which adds an extra layer of chaos to their lives. The comic aims to evoke a range of emotions experienced by outsiders, such as making sense of the world, finding one's place, and embracing the peculiarities of life.
