BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Publisher Oni Press will be on hand for Comic Con later this month, and will have a full catalog of happenings, signings, and exclusives.
Complete with EC Comics
One of the larger indie publishers in the US, Oni Press will be heading to Comic Con International this month, with a healthy dose of programming for fans to check out. And yes, that includes the recently resurrected EC Comics. If you haven’t been following along, Oni has brought the legendary horror imprint EC Comics back, and is rolling with a collection of original creep-tacular tales for a whole new generation.
So yeah, of course EC will be represented at Comic Con, though there’ll be plenty of other stuff to check out too. Oni Press is scheduled to have plenty of exclusives for fans to buy, plus signings at the booth, and a spread of panels too. Speaking of, one of those panels will have a free giveaway of Epitaphs From The Abyss #1 Fan-Addict Edition.
Horror fans will be able to grab a gratis copy of the book, complete with Richard Corben cover, by attending the “EC COMICS LIVES AGAIN AT ONI PRESS!” panel. Look for that on Friday the 26th, kicking off at 5pm pacific time.
It’s gonna be a full Con even if you’re not into EC though, so get your calendar out and scroll down.
