EC Comics and Oni Press Team Up Again for Cruel Kingdom 2
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Oni Press and EC Comics are teaming up for Cruel Kingdom 2, a six-issue dark fantasy anthology series launching on September 2 with an all-star creative lineup.
The legendary horror and sci-fi legacy of EC Comics continues to find new life through Oni Press. Following previous collaborative projects like Epitaphs From the Abyss and Blood Type, the publishers are returning to their dark fantasy anthology with a brand new six-issue limited series. According to a recent exclusive reveal from IGN South Africa, the upcoming release expands on the grim world where traditional fairy tale tropes meet brutal consequences.
Cruel Kingdom 2 #1 officially hits shelves on September 2, bringing together a powerhouse creative team. Writers like Matt Bors, Sarah Gailey, and David M. Booher are pairing up with artists including Ryan Kelly, David Lapham, and Lukas Ketner to deliver deeply cynical takes on classic fantasy tropes. For readers who enjoy dark storytelling and creators known for pushing boundaries across graphic novels and indie comics, this sequel is shaping up to be a notable drop.
While traditional comic books live on the physical page, the DNA of these anthologies often bleeds into the darker narrative games that modern players love. From choice-driven horror titles to atmospheric indie releases on PC and consoles, players have always gravitated toward unapologetically grim storytelling. You can already preorder the first issue at your local comic shop ahead of its September release date.
