EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS plunged to the heart of 21st-century terror. Then: CRUEL UNIVERSE hurtled you to the brink of oblivion. Soon: CRUEL KINGDOM throws wide the forbidden gateway to mayhem and magic. And next summer: The immortal legacy of EC Comics etches an all-new milestone into the annals of comics history with EC COMICS PRESENTS BLOOD TYPE #0 – a special Free Comic Book Day release setting the stage for the second stunning year of EC Comics’ blockbuster resurrection at Oni Press with a look ahead at the first-ever, serialized limited series spinning out of the pages of EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS … and much more yet to come!

“Very early on in the planning stages of what would become our hugely successful resurgence of the EC Comics line at Oni Press, we challenged ourselves with a series of provocative questions,” said Oni Press President & Publisher Hunter Gorinsion. “What kinds of stories would EC be telling today? What new genres would they have pioneered across the decades? And how would EC’s disruptive energy shatter and reshape the conventions of comics storytelling in the modern day? BLOOD TYPE is our answer to many of those questions – and a true first for the EC history as a tried-and-true anthology tale from the pages of EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS expands outward in new and unexpected ways. We’re not saying any more until 2025 – some secrets are worth waiting for!”

OUT OF THE PAGES OF EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS … BLOOD TYPE IS BORN! Before she rises from the grave and stakes her claim to EC’s landmark, first-ever solo series this summer, re-discover the perilous first appearance of the blood-thirsty, bon vivant vampire always in search of a good time … and a fresh kill! Plus: An encore presentation of some of this year’s most shocking, fan-favorite EC Comics stories from EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS, CRUEL UNIVERSE and CRUEL KINGDOM from creators Corinna Bechko (Green Lantern: Earth One) & Jonathan Case (Green River Killer), Matt Kindt (BRZRKR, Mind MGMT) & Kano (Gotham Central), and more with an all-new cover by Eisner Award nominee Tyler Crook (Harrow County, Out of Alctraz) … and an exclusive look ahead at next summer’s sinister wave of horrifying new EC Comics titles!

Full creative details for BLOOD TYPE #1 – coming soon from EC Comics and Oni Press – will be revealed in the New Year, heh heh. See you on Free Comic Book Day 2025, fellow ghouls!
