Step into a New Era of Dark Fantasy with CRUEL KINGDOM #1

EC Comics + Oni Press Unleashes CRUEL KINGDOM #1 – Step Into a New Era of Dark Fantasy with Al Ewing, Chris Condon, Greg Pak, Kano, Leomacs, and Charlie Adlard:

Get ready to enter a realm where brutality reigns supreme! Oni Press is about to launch Cruel Kingdom #1, a dark-fantasy anthology drenched in magic, myth, and murder. Steeped in the legendary legacy of EC Comics, this groundbreaking issue is set to land on January 8th, pulling readers into forbidden realms and twisted tales from times long forgotten.

Step into a savage world of wizards, knights, and dragons, meticulously crafted with the same raw, visceral energy EC is known for. Powerhouses like Al Ewing (Immortal Hulk), Chris Condon (Green Arrow, That Texas Blood), and Greg Pak (Darth Vader, Planet Hulk) join forces with artistic titans Kano (Cruel Universe), Leomacs (Rogues, Ghostlore), and Charlie Adlard (Epitaphs from the Abyss). Together, they unleash a brutal new era of death, life, and untamed adventure.

“As part of our vision to bring EC Comics back from the grave, we knew we had to dive into genres EC barely scratched the surface of—like dark fantasy,” said Oni Press President & Publisher Hunter Gorinson. “Cruel Kingdom delivers that blood-soaked goodness in spades, combining the same twisted energy that made Epitaphs from the Abyss and Cruel Universe fan-favorites.”

Buckle up for 40 pages of fatal fantasy and sinister sorcery, with covers by Adam Pollina (X-Force), Liam Sharp (Starhenge), Jay Stephens (Dwellings), and Rian Hughes (The Multiversity), plus a mysterious 1:100 variant from Tom Fowler. The age of Cruel Kingdom begins this January!
