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

Oni Press expands its successful EC Comics relaunch with Blood Type, a vampire series debuting this summer. The series, a spin-off from Epitaphs From the Abyss, features stunning artwork.

Blood Type, the first in a planned series of EC Comics spin-offs, launches Summer 2025. 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), the first issue boasts covers by Sorrentino, Miguel Mercado (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Albert Monteys (Universe!), and Naomi Franq (Black Hammer: Barbalien).

Oni Press provides this synopsis:

WHEN YOU'RE A VAMPIRE, EVERYBODY SUCKS . . . SOONER OR LATER! Meet Ada, an immortal vampire whose past actions have led her to an idyllic Caribbean resort. A paradise filled 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 of cat and mouse, pursued by a different kind of predator driven by greed and power. Who will survive this clash, and what will remain?

Bechko comments, "Horror is where I feel most at home... Blood Type is a wicked tale expanding on a character I adore. She's a vampire, but not your typical sparkly romantic type. She's ready to conquer a tropical paradise!"

Sorrentino adds, "Horror is my thing. The chance to collaborate with EC Comics, a giant in horror comics, and create imagery that taps into the reader's deepest fears is a thrilling challenge. I'm excited to work with Corinna Bechko and Dave Stewart on this amazing project."

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. For more comic book news, check out upcoming releases from Marvel and DC in 2025.
