After debuting with 65,000 copies soldof their first unveiling inEpitaphs from the Abyss#1 not to mention a raft of ape fromMarvelandBoom ) , it ’s no surprise that Oni would be build an even bigger , more horrifying second number for EC ’s resurrection in 2025 .
Just yesterday , it was revealed that Oni would be joining Free Comic Book Day 2025 with a new release calledEC Comics Presents Blood Type#0 – a 32 - page limited re - collecting some of the EC ’s bully hits by creatorsCorinna Bechko , Jonathan Case , Matt Kindt , Kano , and more with a new cover by Russ Manning Award winnerTyler Crook … and guide into " next summertime ’s sinister wave of appal unexampled EC Comics titles " including " the first - ever , serialized limited series spinning out of the pages of EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS … and much more yet to derive ! "
But , establish on Oni ’s PR , we have a pretty enlightened dead reckoning on what that might entail … To wit : A story call " Blood Type " ( by creatorsCorinna BechkoandJonathan Case ) first appeared in September’sEpitaphs from the Abyss#3 , just a few short month ago … But unlike every other story in the repulsion anthology , this floor about a heroic , throat - ripping vampire trapped in a shipwreck ended with a literal question chump :

Added Oni President & PublisherHunterGorinson:“Very early on in the planning stages of what would become our hugely successful revitalisation of the EC Comics line at Oni Press , we challenged ourselves with a series of provocative questions . What kinds of stories would EC be telling today ? What new genre would they have pioneered across the X ? And how would EC ’s tumultuous energy shatter and remold the convening of comics storytelling in the mod day ? BLOOD TYPE is our answer to many of those question – and a true first for the EC history as a essay - and - true anthology story from the page of EPITAPHS FROM THE abysm expands outward in newfangled and unexpected ways . We ’re not saying any more until 2025 – some secrets are worth await for ! "
Secrets or no , we ’re placing our bet now : Oni ’s next EC title for summer 2025 will be Blood Type and it will EC ’s first non - anthology rubric , in all likelihood pluck up where the eccentric ’s first appearance from Epitaphs from the Abyss # 3 left off … which would indeed a major historical first for the EC line , which has always been composed solely of anthology without any recurring characters ( except , naturally , for horror hosts like the original Crypt - Keeper , etc . ) Many legendary comic strip icon – everyone from Superman and Batman to Iron Man and Dr. Strange ahead to modern stalwarts likeJudge Dredd , the Rocketeer , Hellboy , and more – first appeared in anthology before stepping into their own adventure … WithBlood Type#1 from Oni Press and EC Comics surely on the horizon in 2025 , let ’s see what eBay has to say about that flight with regards toEpitaphs From The Abyss#3 , shall we ? Free Comic Book Day will be held on May 3rd , 2025 .
