On a quiet farm, Bronson, the youngest and smallest member of a close-knit family of goats, lives an idyllic life of sun-drenched fields, fresh hay, and sibling rivalries. His greatest concern is proving to his older siblings—and, more importantly, his imposing father—that he is more than just the runt of the herd.

Then, in a single night, everything changes.

A drug-fueled, sex-obsessed satanic hippie murder cult descends on the farm, slaughtering the family who raised and protected the goats before abducting Bronson and his loved ones. Deep in the wilderness, beneath a blood-red moon, hundreds of cult followers gather for an ancient ritual. Their purpose: to sacrifice the goats and summon a ravenous demon from beyond.

Now, the fate of his family rests on the shoulders of the one creature least prepared to save them.

Innocent, outmatched, and absurdly cute, Bronson must summon a courage he never knew he possessed as he confronts knife-wielding cultists, unspeakable horrors, and forces far beyond his understanding in a desperate attempt to rescue his family before they are offered up in blood.

Announcement: Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives #1 from Skybound

Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives #1 arrives just in time for Halloween, landing in comic book shops on October 28, 2026.

 HERE COMES THE BRIDE... Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis reunite once again to deliver the most haunting new horror series of the year. Born in the heart of a thunderstorm, made of stolen flesh, electricity, and monstrous desperation—The Bride lives!

With no memory of her past or understanding of what she is, The Bride takes her first steps into this strange new world. With danger seemingly lurking around every corner, she must solve the mystery of where and who she came from...and discover what makes life worth living.

Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics, in partnership with Universal Products & Experiences, revealed Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives, a new four-issue comic book series from the Eisner Award winning writer Kelly Thompson (Absolute Wonder Woman, Black Widow) and her longtime creative collaborator, Eisner Award nominated artist Mattia De Iulis (Absolute Wonder Woman, The Cull). 

"The original Bride of Frankenstein is a brilliant film exploring the creature's failed attempts to find friendship and community, and then the desperate act to force others to create that which he cannot find. What it's not about, however, is how The Bride herself feels about her creation,” mused writer Kelly Thompson. “Through The Bride of Frankenstein Lives we get the opportunity to explore not only her search for who and what she is, but her search for the women that were destroyed to create her -- all brought to striking vivid life via Mattia De Iluis's incredible visuals."

“When I first read Kelly’s script, I knew right away this was going to be something special,” added artist Mattia De Iulis. “We are finally giving the Bride the center stage, she’s no longer someone’s property, she is a human being fighting for her own story. And for me, it’s an honor to translate that onto the page."

Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives will be followed by additional new Universal Monsters limited series pairing the biggest names in comics with pop culture’s most iconic monsters in the bestselling modern line of horror comics.

THIS ULTIMATE CREEPSHOW EXPERIENCE IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST-READ!

Join the Creep in a special celebration of superheroes new, old, and very, very disturbed in what’s possibly already being called the most important comic book of the year!

First, Dan Watters (Batman: Dark Patterns, Destro) and Carmine Di Giandomenico (Absolute Superman) plan a funeral for the world’s greatest superhero, but his return might be the worst thing that could ever happen!

Then, Ryan Stegman (X-Men) and Riley Rossmo (The Moon is Following Us) introduce the world to the Grave Ghost, a superhero who must solve the case of...his own death!

Finally, Ed Brisson (Wolverine: Old Man Logan) and Andrei Bressan (Dark Ride) unleash the chilling tale of what happens when a super serum gets injected into someone who may be more super VILLAIN than hero.

I've always been a fan of comic horror shorts. Creepshow is right up there with Tales from the Crypt. The cover of Super Creepshow #1 caught my eye immediatley. It's simple but powerful and having the punny Creep striking a superhero pose...

Perfect Sweet GIFfrom Perfect GIFs

If you want to create superhero-horror stories, you should get artists and writers who create superhero comics. Regular Creepshow comics are 32 pages, but Super Creepshow is 40 pages, allowing the writers to give their characters depth and create emotional horror alongside the usual situational horror in the stories.

Using familiar superhero tropes, the writers send their heroes down a darker path of destruction, made more awful because had no control over their fate. The artists did a fantastic job of conveying the emotional horror, along with the gore we all expect, in a Creepshow comic.

I enjoyed this issue. Thanks for providing a Halloween-worthy issue.

Sheep Comic Alert! The Power Fantasy #1 by Kieron Gillen from Image Comics + preview

From Image Comics:

"The highly lauded, launch-of-the-Summer The Power Fantasy #1 by Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, Die, Darth Vader, forthcoming We Called Them Giants) and Caspar Wijngaard (Home Sick Pilots, All Against All) has sold out completely—yet again—at the distributor level and is being rushed back to print in order to keep up with rapidly mounting reorder activity.

"The series launched earlier this month with a rare pre-release sell-out and has picked up speed with readers each week since it hit shelves. The feeding frenzy for stock of this series' debut issue has triggered an equally rare, second, pre-release reprint—a feat accomplished by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples' similarly buzzy Saga #1, second printing."

The Power Fantasy #1
August 7, 2024
Writer: Kieron Gillen
Artist: Caspar Wijngaard
Cover A: Caspar Wijngaard
Cover B: Stephanie Hans
Image Comics
A daringly uncompromising new superhero hero epic, The Power Fantasy offers an edge-of-your seat read in which every character is a nuclear weapon on the brink of detonation... And the entire planet is on high alert.

It’s a world where “Superpowered” has a specific meaning. It’s reserved solely for those with the destructive potential of the nuclear arsenal of the most powerful nations on Earth. There are presently six superpowered beings, and the future of the planet is reliant on them never, ever coming into conflict.

Early praise for The Power Fantasy:

“I can tell a couple pages into a book if it has legs—if the writing’s good, if the art is well done, and if it’s going to find an audience. However, when I got to the end of the first issue of Power Fantasy I knew that I was looking at the better version of that. A book constructed with artfulness and nuance and a care that borders on being obsessive. This is a good one, folks, and it has my highest recommendation.” —Jonathan Hickman, X-Men, The Black Monday Murders

“The jaw-dropping climax of the first issue takes an already great read and shoots this book into the stratosphere. An absolute must-read comic by two of the absolute best in the business." —James Tynion IV, The Department of Truth, Something Is Killing The Children

“It's intense, yet understated, and gripping. Ripe with the potential for drama, intrigue, nuance, depth, and meaning, The Power Fantasy is primed to explode superhero comics.” —ComicBook.com

"If you like your comics full of big ideas, laced with dark humor and the unnerving sense that the end of the world is just one family squabble away, this one's for you." —GamesRadar

"Thought-provoking and dynamic in equal measures, with outstanding art. 10/10" —Comicon.com
