Oni Press is expanding the EC Comic Renaissance with the new Blood series of Corinna Bechko and Andrea Sorrentino. This is the first EC comic character to move from a short story to a serialized horror series.
“Since the first day, it has always been our intention to push the boundaries of Oni Press’s activated EC comic line into new, unexpected territory. First, a new anthology begins with an Abyss and an inscription from the cruel universe. The fleet of the series has come, which has shattered our own expectations that it will be a new series of Oni’s bestsellers for over a decade.” “Now with blood type #1, we’re gearing up for something even more radical. With the first continuation of the EC comic anthology short, the thread of how one lonely vampire was lost in the ocean. Pick up, and soon the ice will wash over the tropical. Isle, she is not the only creature with a taste of flesh and blood. Corina’s clever killer instincts are trenatic in the true EC way. Twist, hilariously brutal, the perfect accent for Andrea Sorrentino’s creepy art. You must already be dead to justify missing out on this book!”

When you’re a vampire, everyone sucks. . . Sooner or later!
Meet Ada, the immortal vampire who landed her at the gateway to an idyllic Caribbean resort. . . . An island paradise filled with wealthy tourists and superstitious locals. Then there’s enough food supply for the thirsty vamps trying to escape! However, as the ADA strikes the boundaries of a new hunting ground, she is soon caught up in a deadly game of moonlight cats and mice. . . Older, smart, completely different kinds of predators reveal their own physical hunger for greed and power. Who will survive when a brand new kind of blood type declares a war with an unning vampire with nothing to lose? . . And what will be left for them? !

Picking up shortly after ADA’s first appearance in the nominal short story “Blood Type” from Abyss #3 Epitaph, blood types are in the spotlight in a new slate in the semi-regular EC Comic Limited series It aims to be the first. And we’ll continue with some of the razor-incised short stories featured on the EC monthly anthology title page – they’re horror, science fiction, fantasy and more. Before blood type #1 arrives anywhere in the manga store this June, readers can rediscover the killer short, which first launched ADA into the infamous name within the EC page #0 – ONI’s 2025 Bechko and artist Jonathan Case (Green River Killer), creators Charlie Adrad (Walking Dead) and other fan favorite shorts from the first year of EC on ONI Press by Chris Condon) (Ultimate Wolverine), Kano (Gotham Central), and Matt Kindt (Brzrkr, Mind Mgmt) feature all-new covers for Eisner Award nominee Tyler Crook (from Alcatraz in Harrow County).
“Horror has always been the place I felt most at home, and Andrea and I have in common,” said writer Corina Bechko. As soon as I put her on the page. Does she love me? It’s not a chance, but that’s her charm. She is a vampire, but that doesn’t mean she’s shining and ready for romance. But she is ready to take over tropical paradise. ”
“I think horror is mine,” said artist Andrea Sorrentino. “I’ve been working on a variety of things like superheroes and sci-fi in my career, and when it’s terrified, this is where I feel like I’m at home… some The opportunity to connect with the deepest fear of readers through images is a great and satisfying challenge. This is the first collaboration with EC Comics (one of the best comic horror producers) for two short stories, and then this exciting one. When asked if it was a new limited series launch, it was an honor. For me. I’m waiting for Corinna Bechko and my longtime collaborator Dave Stewart to join Colors for this new and amazing project It’s going to be so much fun and I can’t wait for readers to turn to what we’re doing here!”
As an innovative new entry for EC Comics Canon, Blood Type #1 will lead a new wave of the brilliantly bloody New Wave EC series on Oni Press in the summer of 2025. Prepare your blood type to chew deeply!
“I can’t wait for people to read their blood types,” Vechko said. “EC comics are more relevant than ever. We hope you will celebrate their traditions while doing brand new things in this long story. You will join us on the most frightening vacation of your life. Do you think so?”
