Review Overview

Writer Jordan Thomas and artist Daniel Gete grabbed my attention instantly with the unique title of their latest comic, Skin Police. With a title such as that and a truly unique plot, how could I not dive into this new Oni Press series?

In the year 2142, fertility levels around the globe plummeted, and a black market for illegal clone babies emerged. Millions of parents used their own genetic material to welcome these new children, only realizing the horrific consequences far too late. At some point in their life cycle, three in four of these genetic duplicates transform into psychologically unstable killing machines known as “Dupes.” Fortunately, the United Nations of Europe has decided to take an active role in containing the growing threat. Their specialized task force has taken up the unenviable task of hunting Dupes before their violence can spread. To the government, they’re the Duplicate Identification and Capture Division. To everyone else, they’re the “Skin Police.”

Skin Police immediately pulls you in with its unique and intriguing premise. The concept of illegal clone babies evolving into violent criminals is great blend of horror and science-fiction that makes for a great reading experience. While the pacing felt a bit rushed, the story kept me hooked, leaving no real room for any dull moments in its action packed series. The tale has the vibe of an amazing episode of one of my favorite tv series, The X-Files, delivering a thrilling mix of suspense and mystery.

Daniel Gete’s gritty artwork complements Jordan Thomas’ script perfectly, setting a dark tone for the series. The illustrations give us a vivid picture of a futuristic world revolving around the Skin Police. Gete’s style captures the essence of each scene with tension and drama unfolding in each panel. The pairing of Thomas’ writing and Gete’s artwork creates a visually intense reading experience.

Skin Police is a fantastic horror sci-fi series that had me hooked from the opening panel. While the pacing was a bit rushed to start, I felt the artwork, overall story and outstanding title were so much fun. Thomas’ writing and Gete’s artwork are the ingredients needed to create a fun comic and I am eagerly awaiting more from these creators.

The collected edition of Skin Police hits local comic shops on August 13, 2025 (FOC: July 21) and a day earlier at bookstores everywhere from Oni Press.
