For those who have followed the runaway success of the animated web series Murder Drones, the journey from screen to page is officially expanding.

Originally reported by IGN, the project is a collaborative effort between Oni Press and Glitch Productions, bringing the chaotic charm of the indie animation phenomenon straight to local comic shops.
The creative team features writer Wyatt Kennedy alongside artist Jo Mi-Gyeong, who are adapting the narrative arc of the show's first season. The story is set on the desolate exoplanet of Copper 9, where human extinction left behind a society of automated worker drones. That fragile peace shatters when ruthless disassembly drones arrive to purge the population. The plot follows a rebellious worker drone named Uzi who forms an unexpected alliance with two disassembly drones to uncover the secrets of their creation.
For communities invested in indie animation and transmedia storytelling, this release highlights how digital-first creators are successfully building lasting franchises across multiple mediums. Fans looking to catch a glimpse of the sequential art can view the extended preview gallery currently hosted on IGN.
