Ahead of NYCC 2026, IGN can exclusively reveal one of Oni Press' biggest new projects of 2027. Citizen: Stardust is a new collaboration between Mary Tyler MooreHawk's Dave Baker and Black Hammer's Malachi Ward. This 12-issue, prestige maxi-series offers a surrealist reimagining of classic Golden Age superhero Stardust the Super Wizard.
Check out the slideshow gallery below for an exclusive look at uncolored artwork from the first issue of Citizen: Stardust:
Citizen: Stardust is written by Baker and illustrated by Ward, with colors by Hellboy's Dave Stewart. As mentioned, the series serves as a postmodern overhaul of the character Stardust the Super Wizard, who was originally created by Fletcher Hanks and debuted in 1939's Fantastic Comics #1.
Here's the official summary of the new series:
"The probability of Stardust: The Super-Wizard becoming one of the most bizarre and unique comics to be published in 2027 seems extraordinarily high, to me,” said Baker in a statement. “Malachi Ward and I are bringing a new perspective to the superhero world informed by psychogeography, cult sacrifices, and technology beyond human comprehension. If that doesn't make you want to read it? Just know that there's a cat of nine tails made of human skulls.”
Citizen: Stardust #1 will be released in April 2027. Oni will reveal more about the new series at their NYCC panel, which will be held on Friday, October 9 from 4:30 PM - 5:15 PM ET in North-Room S 406.1.
