Who would have thought it would be Oni Press that would unleash The Summer of Fear? (insert political comment here) But that is exactly what is happening as the publisher is set to release THREE new titles from its EC Comics line.
BLOOD TYPE #1 (of 4)
LIMITED SERIES | JUNE 2025
WRITTEN BY CORINNA BECHKO | ART BY ANDREA SORRENTINO
COVER A BY MIGUEL MERCADO
OUT OF THE PAGES OF EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS…A MONSTROUS NEW EC COMICS MILESTONE BEGINS!
From Hugo Award-nominated writer Corinna Bechko (EC’s Cruel Universe, Green Lantern: Earth One) and Eisner Award-winning artist Andrea Sorrentino (Gideon Falls, Bone Orchard), THE FANGS ARE COMING OUT as EC’s own blood-splattered, bon vivant vampire rises from her first appearance in EC Comics’ bestselling, blockbuster anthology…and into the history-marking, first-ever standalone horror series from the most notorious name in terror!
WHEN YOU’RE A VAMPIRE, EVERYBODY SUCKS…SOONER OR LATER! Meet Ada, an immortal vampire whose misdeeds have landed her on the doorstep of an idyllic tropical resort… An island paradise teeming with wealthy tourists and superstitious locals-an ample food supply for the thirsty vamp looking to get away from it all!
But as Ada stalks the boundaries of her new hunting ground, she’ll soon become embroiled in a deadly game of cat and mouse by moonlight . . . as an older, wiser, and entirely different kind of predator reveals its own carnal hunger for greed and power. Who will survive when a brand-new kind of BLOOD TYPE declares war on a cunning bloodsucker with nothing left to lose…and what will be left of them?!
CATACOMB OF TORMENT #1
ONGOING SERIES | JULY 2025
WRITTEN BY JOHN ARCUDI, MARGUERITE BENNETT & MATT KINDT | ART BY DAVID LAPHAM, DAN McDAID & MORE
COVER A BY JORGÉ FORNES
BEHOLD: A BLOODY NEW ONGOING SERIES! Out of the ashes of EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS, we usher THE TORMENTOR – a new horror host with an insatiable interest in human anatomy – into the shadow-strewn halls of EC Comics history for our next monthly horror anthology! Hold onto your head (if it’s still attached)…because no one escapes THE CATACOMB OF TORMENT!
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 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!
Plus, as an added bonus: A surprise classic from the EC vaults, painstakingly remastered and newly restored to its original coloring.
The critics are already saying, “This is literal torture” and “Please make it stop!” Pick up this fearful 40-PAGE FIRST ISSUE – and the Tormentor might just consider letting them go!

Whether future or past, Earth or a distant world, no man can outrun the infinite singularity within us all: FEAR!

Holtham (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss), Kano (Immortal Iron Fist), Anne Nocenti (Daredevil), David Rubín (Sherlock Frankenstein), and Greg Smallwood (The Human Target) 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!
