Oni Press expands its successful EC Comics reboot with the vampire-themed series, Blood Type, debuting this summer. Spinning off from Epitaphs From the Abyss, this new series promises a thrilling blend of horror and intrigue.
IGN exclusively reveals the cover art for Blood Type #1:
Blood Type, the first in a planned series of EC Comics spin-offs launching Summer 2025, is written 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). The first issue boasts cover art from Sorrentino, Miguel Mercado (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Albert Monteys (Universe!), and Naomi Franq (Black Hammer: Barbalien).
Oni Press provides this synopsis:
WHEN YOU'RE A VAMPIRE, EVERYBODY SUCKS . . . SOONER OR LATER! Meet Ada, an immortal vampire whose past catches up with her at a Caribbean resort. This idyllic paradise, teeming with wealthy tourists and superstitious locals, offers a rich hunting ground for Ada. But as she hunts, she becomes entangled in a deadly game, facing a new predator driven by greed and power. Who will survive this clash of cunning bloodsuckers, and what will remain?
Bechko describes Blood Type as a wicked tale expanding on a captivating character, while Sorrentino highlights the project as a return to his horror roots, a genre where he feels most at home.
Blood Type #1 releases 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.
