Blood Type: The EC Comics Line Expands With Grisly New Vampire Series

Oni Press expands its successful EC Comics reboot with the vampire-themed series, Blood Type, debuting this summer. Spinning off from Epitaphs From the Abyss, this series marks the first of several 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 boasts multiple cover variants by Sorrentino, Miguel Mercado, Albert Monteys, and Naomi Franq.

Oni Press provides the following 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. This island paradise, filled with wealthy tourists and superstitious locals, offers a plentiful hunting ground for Ada. But as she hunts, she becomes entangled in a deadly game, facing a different kind of predator driven by greed and power. Who will survive this conflict, and what will remain?

Bechko describes Blood Type as a "wicked tale" expanding on a character she adores, highlighting Ada's unique, non-romantic vampire persona. Sorrentino emphasizes his passion for horror, stating that collaborating on this EC Comics project is an honor. He looks forward to working with Bechko and Dave Stewart on this exciting venture.

Blood Type #1 releases June 18, 2025. Oni Press will also reprint the original Blood Type short story in the Free Comic Book Day 2025 special, EC Presents: Blood Type #0. Stay tuned for more updates on Marvel and DC's 2025 releases.
