Oni Press and EC Comics enter 2026 tomorrow with a new issue of the Cruel Universe. Today, The Beat has an exclusive sneak peek at the anthology series of short stories written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Sebastian Cabrol.
Here’s the synopsis for all issues of EC Comics’ Cruel Universe 2 #6:
You have just landed in a barren, alien world. . . It’s cold, isolated, and devoid of any signs of life. . . Except for the eerie, pulsing hum from the planet’s core that sends messages directly to the synapses of the human nervous system: a new problem of cruel space is here! Please surrender! Or atomize it! In this galaxy or the next, you’d be a fool to miss out on EC Comics’ Eisner Award- and Apple Award-nominated sensation as it hurtles forward with an all-new tale of twisted science and frightening technology! Writers Corinna Bechiko (EC’s Blood Types), Maria Ingrande Mora (Ranger Academy), Greg Pak (Ronin Islands), artists Sebastian Cabrol (Seasons Have Teeth), and Fabiana Mascolo (Catwoman), along with Kelly Williams (The Dead and the Damned), rewire EC’s immortal DNA strands into a new kind of inhuman monster.
Check out an excerpt from Park and Cabrol’s story “Back to Nature” below.
Additionally, see the issue’s cover art below.
EC Comics’ Cruel Universe 2 #6 will be available digitally and at local comic shops on Wednesday, January 7th.
