Acclaimed Creators Corinna Bechko & Andrea Sorrentino Ramp Up Their Blood-Splattered Tropical Melee with a Brand-New Chapter of EC’s First-Ever Serialized Horror Series – Only from Oni Press!

PORTLAND, OR (June 5th, 2024)– FEELING DRAINED YET?! THE SUMMER’S BLOODIEST HORROR BASH IS JUST GETTING STARTED! Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, and William M. Gaines Agent, Inc. are proud to present the first look inside the second bloodsoaked chapter of the milestone first-ever standalone horror series from the immortal EC Comics with BLOOD TYPE #2 – on sale July 9th from Oni Press! From Hugo Award-nominated writer Corinna Bechko (Cruel Universe, Green Lantern: Earth One) and Eisner Award-winning artist Andrea Sorrentino (Gideon Falls, Bone Orchard), the most notorious name in terror returns to deepen the mystery that has gripped a tropical island paradise . . . as an undying bloodsucker tries to figure out what other kinds of monsters already call this isla de sangre home!

Welcome to SCARE-adise! Immortal vampire Ada has just started settling in on her new island home—complete with an ample food supply of pasty tourists. Who’s going to miss one or two here or there? Vacation accidents happen all the time . . . right? But as Ada continues to explore her lush new hunting ground, the spectre of a different predator casts its own will of evil over paradise. She has to keep a low profile while fulfilling her own bloodlust and carefully trying to understand what hunts the hunter!

“Corinna and Andrea have created a truly captivating vampire with Ada, and a world that asks what lengths are people willing to go to retain their youth and exceptional power,” said Sierra Hahn, editor in chief. “Blood Type is an entertaining ride that has all the ingredients that make EC Comics so iconic--a central moral quandary and just desserts for our amorale protagonists.”

Feel your skin crawl as you gaze up covers from the alluring talents of Andrea Sorrentino (Gideon Falls, Bone Orchard), Miguel Mercado (The Neighbors), Albert Monteys (Slaughterhouse-Five), and Patricia Martin (G.I. Joe), as you continue your journey into EC’s SUMMER OF FEAR when BLOOD TYPE #2 arrives on July 9th, 2025!

Then, one week later on July 16th: THE SUMMER OF FEAR continues in A BLOODY NEW ONGOING SERIES as we usher THE TORMENTOR – a new horror host with an insatiable interest in human anatomy – into the shadow-strewn halls of EC Comics history in CATACOMB OF TORMENT #1! For Her Royal Travesty of Pain's first request: Master storytellers John Arcudi (B.P.R.D.), Marguerite Bennett (Batwoman), Matt Kindt (BRZRKR), David Lapham (Stray Bullets), Dan McDaid (Shazam!), and Patrick Piazzalunga (Count Crowley) more each take turns manning the rack and turning the red-hot irons for three all-new and blisteringly brutal tales of mayhem and malice in the undying EC tradition!

Finally, on August 6th: EC’s Eisner Award-nominated smash-hit returns to draw more worlds into the maw of its gravitational vortex in CRUEL UNIVERSE 2 #1 (of 12) – a colossal 40-page milestone beginning AN ALL-NEW AND UNRELENTING 12-ISSUE MAXI-SERIES! Whether future or past, Earth or a distant world, no man can outrun the infinite singularity within us all: FEAR! Join this doomed expedition into the cold, unforgiving galaxies beyond our own as nihilistic navigators Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead), J. Holtham (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss), Kano (Immortal Iron Fist), Ann Nocenti (Daredevil), David Rubín (Sherlock Frankenstein), and Greg Pak (Planet Hulk) smash the laws of science . . . and splice the immortal EC Comics genome into a new breed of parasitic extraterrestrial tales with an endless appetite for pain!
