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 tale of blood, greed, and power.
IGN exclusively reveals the cover art for Blood Type #1:
Blood Type is the first in a planned series of EC Comics spin-offs launching Summer 2025. 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 series boasts multiple cover variants by Sorrentino, Miguel Mercado, Albert Monteys, and Naomi Franq.
Oni Press provides this synopsis:
WHEN YOU'RE A VAMPIRE, EVERYBODY SUCKS...SOONER OR LATER! Meet Ada, an immortal vampire whose past catches up to her in an idyllic Caribbean resort. A paradise teeming with wealthy tourists and superstitious locals—a perfect hunting ground for a vamp seeking refuge! But Ada's new hunting ground becomes a deadly game as a different kind of predator emerges, driven by greed and power. Who will survive this clash of cunning and hunger?
Bechko describes Blood Type as a wicked tale expanding on a captivating character, while Sorrentino highlights the series as a return to his horror roots, a genre where he feels most at home.
Blood Type #1 hits shelves 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. Stay tuned for more updates on the comic book landscape, including previews of Marvel and DC's 2025 releases.
