A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts is definitely one of the strangest and hardest-to-describe new comics of 2026. It's part superhero series, part punk rock-infused slice of life tale, and part throwback to the classic Vertigo Comics era. Perhaps Matthew Rosenberg put it best in his blurb: "A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts is like if Daniel Clowes and David Lapham got together and tried to create the X-Men but really didn't care that much if they saved the world or not."
If that all sounds up your alley, then you'll want to check out our exclusive preview of A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts #1. See more in the slideshow gallery below:
A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts is written and colored by Oliver Mertz (The Monuments, First Law of Mad Science) and drawn by Alex Diotto (Youth, Indigo Children). The series is published by Oni Press. Here's the official summary:
“I grew up in the ‘90s, going to see bands like Fugazi, Jawbox, and the Monorchid play in cramped venues scattered around the Washington D.C. area,” said Mertz in a statement. “When I started writing A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts, I knew I wanted it to be a love letter to that time and place. But as I kept writing, the book got weirder and weirder. And ironically, the stranger it got, the more personal and emotionally honest the story became.”
“Since Oliver introduced me to the characters of A Ghost Arm, I immediately felt a strong connection to them,” said Diotto. “I found many similarities between Ari, Maya, Sona and myself—namely being an outcast and a long time fan of punk bands—and that connection grew even stronger as we progressed working on the book and the book got even weirder. It's not an everyday thing seeing a bowl of soup talking through its mouth, or a giant head residing in a cabin!”
