Oni Press announced the January release of Cruel Kingdom, a dark fantasy mini-series kicking off in 2025.
Al Ewing, Chris Condon, and Greg Pak will take on writing duties in the first issue, with Kano, Leomacs, and Charlie Adlard providing art.
“From our very earliest conversations, a central part of our far-reaching plan for the resurrection of EC Comics has been to expand into genres that were only rarely glimpsed – or never fully attempted – in the company’s original library of all-time classic titles. Number-one on that hit list was always ‘dark fantasy’ – and now, for the first time, we’re elated to present all-new tales of the age of knights and dragons that positively pulsate with the same joyously deranged EC energy that has fueled EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS and CRUEL UNIVERSE into becoming two of biggest hit series anywhere in comics today,” said Oni Press President & Publisher Hunter Gorinson in a press release. “And it’s far from the last of the surprises that you can expect from EC Comics in the year ahead…”
Cruel Kingdom #1 arrives on January 8, 2025, with a $4.99 cover price.
