EC Comics: The Resurrection Bundle by Oni Press

Feeling a chill up your spine? Nay, friend, that’s no gust of winter air . . . it’s merely the Tormentor’s rusty testing needle probing for a warm vertebrae to call home! So sit back, relax, and scream relentlessly into the void as we welcome you back to our horrific hostess’s Catacomb of Torment—where every new story will leave you in stitches! On this month’s menu: A frantic feast of fatal delights, as prepared with loving care by the toxic talents of writers Dave Baker (Mary Tyler MooreHawk), Matt Bors (The Toxic Avenger), and Rachel Werner (The Glam World Tour), and artists Justin Greenwood (Immortal Thor), Shawn McManus (Fables), and Claire Roe (Batgirl)! Once you’re done, remember to save room for another helping—poison always spoils on the second day, so we need to use it while it’s still good!

EC’S BLOODY NEW ONGOING SERIES TWISTS THE KNIFE AS THE SUMMER OF FEAR CONTINUES! Welcome back to the Tormentor’s lair . . . where each crank of the rack tightens your shackled limbs and brings even more taut tales of mayhem and murder spilling forth like so much viscera! This month: Full-blooded writers Matt Bors (Toxic Avenger), Evan Dorkin (Beasts of Burden), and Jeremy Lambert (Doom Patrol) join steel-nerved artists Kano (Action Comics), Lukas Ketner (Count Crowley), and Fabiana Mascolo (Catwoman) to navigate the catacombs by torchlight. . . . We hope they can find their way back out, hehehe!

THE HUNTER BECOMES THE HUNTED! It takes a lot to scare a bloodthirsty vampire, but as Ada’s island adventure continues, the true nature of her mysterious foe finally comes into focus, and she’s in way over her head. . . . Or at least, that’s what she’d like them to think. But can she turn the tables on her enemy without falling prey to the angry islanders who are starting to find the corpses left in her wake? Seems there’s nowhere to run . . . but you know what they say about cornering a dangerous predator: Blood will run! EC’s SUMMER OF FEAR digs in deep as Hugo Award nominee Corinna Bechko (Sister Imperator) and superstar artist Andrea Sorrentino (Gideon Falls) bring a crimson-red high tide rushing into the historic, first-ever standalone horror series from the immortal EC Comics!

IN THIS CRUEL UNIVERSE, PERCEPTION IS REALITY . . . AND REALITY IS PAIN! Join petrifying pioneers Ryan Haddock (The Brothers Flick), Amy Roy (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss), and EC newcomer Andrew Wheeler (Another Castle) as they probe the far reaches of space for any pinprick of hope . . . and artists Kano (Gotham Central), Andrea Mutti (EC’s Cruel Kingdom), and more heed the call to bring the latest batch of technological terrors to the page! Will a stranded pilot find salvation? Will a terminally ill tech titan live on in prosperity? Will advancements in AI eliminate all strife and conflict? Our on-board systems are reading "no," but you’ll will have to pick the latest installment of EC's Eisner and Ringo Award–nominated science-fiction sensation to see what the future truly holds!

Do not despair, while this may be our final issue of Epitaphs from the Abyss—for now!—EC Comics endures still an endless supply of nail-pulling agony and mindbending psychosis! We certainly wouldn’t want our inaugural series to go out without a SPLAT, so before our next tantalizing title picks up the mantle of TENSION and TERROR in next month’s Catacomb of Torment, we leave you with this coup de grâce of prime EC thrills featuring stories by the loathsome lot of creators Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine), Tyler Crook (Out of Alcatraz), Matt Kindt (BRZRKR), Klaus Janson (Daredevil), and Alison Sampson (Dept. of Truth)!

Corporate greed, human desperation, technological despair! Such postulations all are but tiny specks swallowed by the unforgiving void of CRUEL UNIVERSE! EC’s Eisner Award–nominated sci-fi horror anthology continues its deep dive into futuristic depravity and darkness with three new tales from writers Cecil Castellucci (Shade the Changing Girl), Sarah Gailey (Eat the Rich, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and, in his EC writing debut, Eisner Award nominee Rian Hughes (Batman: Black and White). Illustrating their dark visions are Kano (EC’s Cruel Universe), UK comics sensation Anna Readman (2000 AD), and Claire Roe (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss)! Witness as these stellar creative teams probe deep into the dark void of space—and the human soul—in what’s sure to be another stark installment of the Eisner-nominated series!

Sooner or later, the past always comes back to BITE YOU! What started as a seemingly random escape to an island paradise has proven to be anything but a vacation as the sun slowly sets (or rises, rather) possibly for good on vampire Ada’s island adventure. Thinking she was at the top of the local food chain, she suddenly finds herself in captivity, held by a mysterious cabal with an unholy agenda! But you know what they say about cornering a dangerous animal . . . What fun we’ve had! Here it comes—the shocking final chapter of of EC Comics’ first-ever standalone horror splatter-thon . . . from the die-namic team of Hugo Award–nominated author Corinna Bechko (Green Lantern: Earth One) and Eisner Award–winning artist Andrea Sorrentino (Gideon Falls)!

"TERROR! TORTURE! FEAR! MAYHEM! After all, this comic is called CATACOMB OF TORMENT—what did you expect, kittens?! Yes, yes, bite down hard and await the inevitable, because there is no escape and it’s too late—MUCH, MUCH TOO LATE—as our host, the Tormentor, carefully positions the scalpels of acutely accurate writers John Arcudi (B.P.R.D), Patricia A. Jackson (Star Wars: Tales from the Empire), and Amy Roy (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss) above your splayed ribcage with the assistance of mangle-minded artists Shawn Martinbrough (Thief of Thieves), Fabiana Mascolo (Catwoman), and Shawn McManus (Fables)! A murder mystery with extra-added murder, a seamstress seeking sartorial revenge, and a gardener taking the pruning shears to an extra-bloody bloom . . . Despair ye not, because EC Comic’s brutally entertaining monthly horror anthology is just getting warmed up!"
