EC Comics' Anthology Series Cruel Kingdom Returns for a Sequel
Oni Press and EC Comics are continuing their terrifying collaboration with a sequel to the hit horror-fantasy anthology series Cruel Kingdom.
EC Comics' legacy thrives at Oni Press, where they've launched new anthology series inspired by their classic horror and sci-fi books. One such series, Cruel Kingdom 2, is set to receive a sequel, with IGN exclusively previewing the first issue. The anthology features a collection of six short stories written by various talented authors, including Matt Bors, John Arcudi, Ramón F. Bachs, Sarah Gailey, Sami Kivelä, Curt Pires, SOM, and Alison Sampson.
The artists behind the tales are Ryan Kelly, Lukas Ketner, and David Lapham. In Cruel Kingdom 2, the story revolves around a world without a 'happily ever after,' where the roles between villain and victim often blur. Among the contributors to this dark tale are writers David M. Booher, Matt Bors, and Jude Ellison S. Doyle, along with the aforementioned artists.
Cruel Kingdom 2 #1 is set to release on September 2, available for pre-order at local comic shops. Previous collaborative works between Oni and EC Comics include Epitaphs From the Abyss, Shellshock, and Blood Type. IGN staff writer Jesse Schedeen lends a machete to readers seeking intellectual stimulation by following him on BlueSky.
