Oni Press expands its successful EC Comics reboot with Blood Type, a vampire-themed series debuting this summer. Spinning off from Epitaphs From the Abyss, Blood Type marks the first in a series of planned EC Comics spin-offs.
IGN exclusively reveals the cover art for Blood Type #1:
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), Blood Type features 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 brimming with wealthy tourists and superstitious locals – a perfect hunting ground for a vampire seeking escape! But as Ada hunts, she becomes entangled in a deadly game, pursued by a different kind of predator driven by greed and power. Who will survive this clash of bloodsuckers, and what will remain?
Bechko describes Blood Type as a "wicked tale" expanding on a character she created, emphasizing Ada's unromantic, predatory nature. Sorrentino highlights his affinity for horror and the collaborative honor of working with EC Comics, Bechko, and Dave Stewart.
Blood Type #1 releases June 18, 2025. A reprint of the original Blood Type short story will be included in the Free Comic Book Day 2025 special, EC Presents: Blood Type #0.
