Oni Press expands its successful EC Comics reboot with the upcoming vampire series, Blood Type. Launching Summer 2025, this series spins off from Epitaphs From the Abyss.
IGN exclusively reveals the cover art for Blood Type #1:
Blood Type, penned by Corinna Bechko (known for Cruel Universe and Green Lantern: Earth One) and illustrated by Andrea Sorrentino (Gideon Falls, Old Man Logan), with colors by Dave Stewart (Hellboy), marks the first in a planned series of EC Comics spin-offs. The debut issue boasts cover art from Sorrentino, Miguel Mercado (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Albert Monteys (Universe!), and Naomi Franq (Black Hammer: Barbalien).
Oni Press provides the following synopsis:
WHEN YOU'RE A VAMPIRE, EVERYBODY SUCKS...SOONER OR LATER! Meet Ada, an immortal vampire whose past catches up with her at an idyllic Caribbean resort. A paradise teeming with wealthy tourists and superstitious locals—a perfect hunting ground for a vamp seeking refuge! But as Ada hunts, she's drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse, facing a new kind of predator driven by greed and power. Who will survive this clash of cunning bloodsuckers, and what will remain?
Bechko describes the series as a "wicked tale" expanding on a character she adores, highlighting Ada's ruthless nature. Sorrentino emphasizes his passion for horror, calling it a satisfying challenge to tap into readers' deepest fears. He expresses his honor in collaborating with EC Comics, Bechko, and Dave Stewart.
Blood Type #1 arrives June 18, 2025. Oni Press will also reprint the original Blood Type short story in the Free Comic Book Day 2025 special, EC Presents: Blood Type #0. For more comic book news, check out upcoming releases from Marvel and DC in 2025.
