I can’t wait to lead the department to even greater heights!”

“In less than a year, Sarah has had a profound effect on Oni Press,” added publisher James Lucas Jones. “Her taste is impeccable and broad. Her network of colleagues both love and respect her. Her dedication to comics and the people who create them is virtually unmatched. There is no other person better suited to lead our editorial team and oversee the creation of amazing new comics for all types of readers.”
