In the year 2142, fertility levels around the globe plummeted, and a black market for illegal clone babies emerged. Millions of parents used their own genetic material to welcome these new children, only realizing the horrific consequences far too late. At some point in their life cycle, three in four of these genetic duplicates transform into psychologically unstable killing machines known as Dupes. Fortunately, the United Nations of Europe has decided to take an active role in containing the growing threat. Their specialized task force has taken up the unenviable task of hunting Dupes before their violence can spread. To the government, they're the Duplicate Identification and Capture Division. To everyone else, they're the Skin Police. The worst part of the job? It's always the one you least suspect . . .
PRAISE FOR SKIN POLICE #1
“What follows, then, is a sci-fi series that may seem familiar enough (it rhymes with “Glade Sunner”). But from that basic enough premise, Skin Police develops into something altogether more potent, a tale that balances Gete’s bold and stylized vision of the future with Thomas’ layered narrative to really delve into these multifaceted social issues. It is, at its very core, a story about our relationship to the world and one another, and how that evolves in ways both uplifting and unsettling. It’s damn good comics — just trust me on that.”—AIPT
“It’s a heady mix of sci-fi ideas, detailed artwork, and big action that sits side by side with Judge Dredd. It’s also an exciting start to a comic book probably best pitched as ‘What if Ridley Scott and David Cronenberg teamed up to make Children of Men?’... Gete is the perfect partner here…. Overall, this is a fantastic start to the new series and ties into what we hope sci-fi will do: Take a look at the world outside our window, extrapolate outwards, and then point back at us. Skin Police is a warning not of cloning run amuck but of a police force given too much leeway. It’s a scary thought that is very, very real. Lucky then that it’s fun to read, at the same time.”—COMIC BOOK CLUB LIVE
“The unique premise of Skin Police brings something new to comics, which is something I am looking for each Wednesday at my local comic shop. With a thrilling storyline I found myself drawn into this dark and dangerous world where nothing is as it seems. Daniel Gete’s gritty artwork complements the story perfectly, setting the tone for the series… Skin Police #1 is a great start to a series we are eager to dive more into… Thomas’ writing and Gete’s artwork are the ingredients needed to create the unforgettable tale and I am eagerly awaiting more from these creators.”—CAPES AND TIGHTS
“If you like your science fiction mixed with a healthy dose of over-the-top violence, then you'll want to keep an eye out for Skin Police. This upcoming four-issue miniseries from Oni Press combines a Blade Runner-like premise with copious amounts of blood and gore.”—IGN
