SECTAURS #1-3 – INTERCONNECTING COVERS BY DUSTIN WEAVER
PORTLAND, OR (July 9th, 2024) – Oni Press, in partnership with global entertainment powerhouse The Nacelle Company, is proud to reveal the next epic chapter of the NacelleVerse in SECTAURS #1 (of 3) – coming in October from fast-rising star Dennis Culver (Unstoppable Doom Patrol, Justice League Incarnate) and dazzling artist Ramon Bachs (Star Wars: Bounty Hunters)!
Millennia past, on the distant planet Symbion, a genetic experiment failed, and evolution took a strange turn. The result of this cataclysm? A world where insects can grow to monstrous proportions, and whose inhabitants have taken on the weird and wondrous characteristics of insects themselves! Telepathically bonded in battle, Sectaurs warriors unite with their insect companions in the ultimate fight for survival! Return to the fantastic alien realm of Symbion as the heroes of this classic ‘80s toy line return to forge their legend anew in an all-new series from Oni Press and the Nacelle Company!
“I'm beyond thrilled to help Nacelle and Oni reinvent SECTAURS for the 21st Century!” said Dennis Culver. “The Warriors of Symbion are like nothing you've ever seen before in comics. It's GAME OF THRONES, but with BUGS instead of dragons!”
“Of the many beloved properties in the NacelleVerse, SECTAURS holds a special place of reverence for anyone who was first introduced to these characters in the pages of their original Marvel Comics series by legendary creators Bill Mantlo and Mark Texeira,” said Hunter Gorinson, President & Publisher of Oni Press. “It’s a huge joy to see them return to life in spectacularly raucous and rousing fashion at the hands of Dennis Culver and Ramon Bachs – two creators with a penchant for fusing sci-fi, fantasy, and high-flying heroics into pure comic book spectacle.”
“Sectaurs is an important piece of the overall NacelleVerse story and we’re thrilled to finally be able to kick off that exhilarating tale with our friends at Oni Press,” said Nacelle Founder and CEO, Brian Volk-Weiss. “We want to honor the rich history of Sectaurs, and issue #1 is a major first step in that direction."

Jothikumar (Ultraman Rising), see what the BUZZ is all about when toy icons SECTAURS: WARRIORS OF SYMBION step out of the pages of NACELLEVERSE #0 and into the annals of comic book history, only in SECTAURS #1 (of 3) – coming to comic shops everywhere in October!
