The Forever Home #1 Trailer Revealed Ahead of Oni Press Sci-Fi Thriller’s September Debut
The Forever Home #1 is almost here, and Oni Press has released a new animated trailer for the upcoming six-issue sci-fi thriller from writer Christian Ward and artist Sami Kivelä.
The new series debuts in comic shops on September 7, 2026, with final orders due by August 3, 2026. Described as a story that challenges the limits of time, technology, and human endurance, The Forever Home follows one family trying to survive the end of the world inside a luxury ark where time itself moves differently.
Inside, they are safe.
Outside, something worse than the apocalypse is waiting.
A Family Refuge Beyond Armageddon
The Forever Home #1 begins with a terrifying premise: famed scientist Henry D’mour tried to save the world and failed.
In a desperate attempt to protect himself, his wife, and their two children, Henry built The Forever Home, an ultra-modern refuge designed to shield the family from the death of the planet outside. The home is not just a bunker. It is a technological ark where only 20 minutes pass inside for every year outside.
That setup gives the series an immediate high-concept hook. The D’mour family has all the time in the world, but that time may not be enough to save them.
Readers can revisit Comic Book Addicts’ earlier The Forever Home #1 preview for more coverage.
Time Stands Still Inside The Forever Home
The central idea behind The Forever Home is both fascinating and terrifying.
Inside the home, the D’mour family can slowly plan for a future beyond the planet’s collapse. Automated systems and robotic companions keep them safe. Their protected environment gives them luxury, control, and the illusion of stability.
But that safety depends on one thing: the barrier must hold.
When a childish mistake accidentally breaks that barrier, the outside world gets in. The question is not only whether the family can survive. It is whether anything human can remain unchanged after being locked away from time, death, and reality for too long.
Christian Ward and Sami Kivelä Build a Mind-Bending Sci-Fi Nightmare
Christian Ward has become one of comics’ most distinctive genre voices, with work including Event Horizon: Dark Descent and Batman: City of Madness. His stories often push characters into surreal, terrifying spaces where cosmic scale collides with deeply personal fear.
That makes The Forever Home a natural fit. This is a story about family survival, failed science, time distortion, and the psychological horror of isolation.
Artist Sami Kivelä, known for work on Abbott, brings the world to life with clean storytelling, emotional character work, and a strong sense of unease. The interior pages position the home as both beautiful and threatening, a place designed to protect the family that may become a prison just as dangerous as the apocalypse outside.

Comic Book Addicts Take
The Forever Home #1 looks like one of Oni Press’ most intriguing sci-fi launches of the fall.
The premise is strong because it turns survival into a trap. The D’mour family has escaped the end of the world, but that escape comes with isolation, dependence on technology, and a growing unknown outside the walls.
The time mechanic adds another layer. When 20 minutes inside equals one year outside, every mistake carries terrifying consequences. The world beyond the home can change beyond recognition while the family barely ages through a conversation.
That makes the series feel built for tension, dread, and big revelations.
Final Thoughts
The Forever Home #1 brings together Christian Ward and Sami Kivelä for a six-issue sci-fi thriller about time, survival, family, and the horror waiting beyond the end of the world.
With its animated trailer now revealed ahead of FOC, Oni Press is setting up the series as a major September debut for readers who like their science fiction dark, emotional, and dangerous.
The D’mour family may have all the time in the world.
The question is whether the world outside is done waiting.
