EC Comics’ Relentless Return Continues in EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS #5 and CRUEL UNIVERSE #4 – Coming in November!
THIS FALL…THE REVENGE-FUELED RETURN OF EC COMICS RAGES ONWARD! Continuing EC’s landmark return, Oni Press proudly announces two new murderous, must-read issues in smash-hit series EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS #5 and CRUEL UNIVERSE #4! Making their murderous mark on the world this November, find them in comic shops everywhere. . . if you dare!
On November 13th, EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS #5 welcomes you back to the Grave-Digger’s cemetery on the edge of the endless, black ABYSS that awaits us all . . . some sooner than others, heh heh! Inscribing this month’s moribund epitaphs in so much funerary stone, we welcome scribes Matt Kindt (BRZRKR), Matthew Rosenberg (DC vs. Vampires), and Joanne Starer (Sirens of the City) to write our rites of terror as artists Kano (Gotham Central), Alexandre Tefengki (The Good Asian) and more surprise guests rain down torrents of red ink in true and timeless EC Comics fashion!
Featuring covers by Lee Bermejo (Joker), Naomi Franquiz (Tales from Harrow County), Jay Stephens (Dwellings), and Rian Hughes (The Multiversity), don’t miss a single blood-soaked page of the series that Capes & Tights calls “extremely well-written with outstanding artwork to complete the package” when The Grave-Digger reveals more tombstone-inspired tales in EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS #5 – on sale November 13th!
Then: Only human arrogance would lead us to believe that we are alone in this vast universe. The real question is, who will find us first? Allies to help us grow and flourish as members of larger cosmic society? Or others who would use up the earth for its resources, enslave the human race, and destroy everything we know and love? Do we live in a limitless realm of possibilities, or a deep dark Cruel Universe? Cozy thoughts, aren’t they?
While you ponder those questions, you’ll find no comfort in the pages of our latest galaxy-annihilating offering CRUEL UNIVERSE #4 this November 6th. . . featuring the astronomical talents of EC veterans Matt Kindt (BRZRKR, Mind MGMT) and Ben H. Winters (CBS’ Tracker), while welcoming newcomers Cecil Castellucci (Shade the Changing Girl) and Matt Bors (Toxic Avenger) to the void as their harsh words are brought to terrible fruition by artists Alison Sampson (Hit-Girl), Kano (Gotham Central), and more!
Featuring covers by Greg Smallwood (The Human Target), Kano (Immortal Iron Fist), Jay Stephens (Dwellings), and Rian Hughes (The Multiversity), the countdown to ultimate annihilation continues with more all-new stories of entropy and oblivion from the series that ComicBook.com says “goes above and beyond expectation to deliver…tales of terror that feel both timeless and incredibly contemporary” in CRUEL UNIVERSE #4 – on sale November 6th!
