Get ready to meet the monsters who fight back. Monster Forge is proud to announce a terrifying new lineup of horror-fueled comic book releases, headlined by the highly anticipated anthology Forge of Monsters. This bold new series introduces an original cast of monstrous heroes, set to carve out their legend in the ever-expanding Monster Forge Universe — where the raw, twisted energy of old-school horror comics is reborn.
“Millennia ago, an ancient society existed. In the dominion of Hypothrexia, a ruling class of sorcerers communed with powerful, otherworldly, chaotic forces. In an effort to control these powers, the sorcerers created a terrible artifact that could summon and harness the ungodly essence of these entities — a MONSTER FORGE.
But such energies are not meant to be controlled. The frenzied, berserk backlash ripped their world apart, killed the dinosaurs, brought about the Ice Age, shifted the continents, and birthed a new world.
Over countless eons, the Monster Forge was forgotten — but it is still out there, hidden, buried, hemorrhaging dark energies that have influenced the world ever since. Forgotten by all but the most sinister of cults…
Until now.”
Featuring an unholy alliance of some of the comic industry’s most legendary and visionary talents, this first volume explodes onto the page with terrifying tales and monstrous mythologies that will reshape the horror genre. From cursed crusaders and supernatural survivors to ghastly guardians, these are the monsters who don’t hide under your bed — they protect it.
The debut issue of Forge of Monsters assembles an all-star creative roster, including:
E.J. Su (Blood & Thunder)
Bret Blevins (New Mutants)
Rick Hoberg (X-Men: The Animated Series)
Roger Robinson (Batman)
Ryan Liebe (in his comic debut!)
Mike Dubisch (The Adventures of Professor Dario Bava)
Mike Manley (Darkhawk)
Steven E. Gordon (X-Men: Evolution)
Roy Burdine (Spider-Man)

This is just the beginning. This debut makes a chilling and unforgettable entrance to the comic scene, injecting fresh energy and vision into the universe’s darkest corners.
Upcoming issues of Forge of Monsters promise even more mayhem, with monster-mad talents like:
Phil Hester (Firebreather)
David Hartman (Transformers)
…and many more industry giants, ready to bring even more monsters to life.
Each story in the anthology digs deep into the monstrous mythos of the Monster Forge Universe, introducing unforgettable original characters destined to stalk its pages for years to come.

Packed with bonus material, Monster Club exclusives, and special rewards featuring the creators, this is a collector’s must-have.
Also included in this release are two additional books, bundled with Forge of Monsters:
HUNTERS (Prequel Graphic Novel)
A chilling prequel brought to life with gritty, character-driven visuals by E.J. Su, Hunters unearths the origin of the Monster Forge universe. Set during the construction of the original U.S. railroad, it follows a crew of immigrant laborers who accidentally unleash a buried cosmic horror while tunneling through the American West. To stop it, they must seal it back beneath the earth — knowing the cost may be their lives… or something far worse.
ATLANTEAN (Standalone Graphic Novella)
Illustrated in haunting, surreal detail by Mike Dubisch, Atlantean plunges readers into a mythic underground nightmare, where ancient entities pulse with sentient evil and drowned gods stir from slumber. Some secrets should stay unearthed.
From Lovecraftian nightmares to pulp-action terror, every title feeds into the growing Monster Forge continuity — where every monster has a story, and every story has teeth.
MONSTER FORGE UNLEASHES “THE REVENANT” ON GLOBALCOMIX THE GHOST IS BACK — AND HE’S GOT UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
Los Angeles, CA — Monster Forge Productions is thrilled to announce the return of the underground cult classic THE REVENANT, now haunting a global stage via GlobalComix. Created by acclaimed storyteller Shannon Eric Denton (Deadpool, X-Men), this supernatural crime saga slams together pulp noir grit with a deadly ghost story—and it’s never been more timely, or more terrifying. Set against the decaying opulence of twin cities Sapphire City and Jade Harbor, The Revenant follows a ruthless, sadistic vigilante who stalks the criminal elite with merciless intent. Rumored to be a reanimated gangster gunned down during the city’s Day of the Dead celebrations 15 years prior, The Revenant has become an urban legend among crooks and killers. Now, he’s back—and the body count is rising. But this isn’t just one man’s revenge story. The Revenant features story contributions from the late comics legend Keith Giffen (Lobo, Legion of Super-Heroes), Eisner nominated writer Rob Worley (Scratch9) and stunning, gritty artwork by international star Mateus Santolouco (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Two Guns). “This was a passion project born from my love of pulp, horror, and Dia De Los Muertos,” said Shannon Eric Denton. “With Keith’s brilliance, Rob’s razor-sharp scripting, and Mateus’ kinetic art, we built a world where death isn’t the end—it’s just the beginning of payback.” Previously released by Antarctic Press, Komikwerks, and Image Comics, The Revenant earned a cult following for its cinematic violence, shadow-drenched visuals, and unapologetic tone. Now, Monster Forge is proud to bring the series to GlobalComix, introducing it to a new generation of readers hungering for hard-hitting supernatural thrillers. Fear is coming back into fashion—one bullet at a time. The Revenant is now live at GlobalComix.com—digitally remastered and more deadly than ever. https://globalcomix.com/a/monster-forge Because the past doesn’t stay buried. And neither does he. https://dailydead.com/horror-highlights-frankenstein-the-jester-2-the-revenant/

MONSTER FORGE UNLEASHES HORROR CLASSIC GUTWRENCHER ON GLOBALCOMIX!
Monster Forge is proud to announce the terrifying return of the cult horror hit GUTWRENCHER, now available exclusively on GlobalComix!
Created by veteran storytellers Shannon Eric Denton (Graveslinger), the late Keith Giffen (Justice League), and Steve Niles (30 Days of Night), with visceral, haunting art by Anthony Hightower, GUTWRENCHER is a slasher tale with a soul—and a bloody edge sharp enough to carve its place in horror history.
A CURSE AWAKENS…
Synopsis: In the deep woods of rural New England, a hiker is infected with an ancient curse just days before his ten-year high school reunion. If his soul is pure, he may be able to resist the evil clawing its way through his body. If not… nothing will be able to stop him.
Originally released to critical acclaim, GUTWRENCHER twists classic horror tropes into something fresh, brutal, and unforgettable. With this rerelease on GlobalComix, readers old and new can experience the raw terror and eerie atmosphere that made it a standout of the genre.
CRITICS RAVE ABOUT GUTWRENCHER
“…it’s like an intelligent version of the teen horror genre that developed in the 1980s. If you like Freddy, Jason and their peers, you’ll want to make sure you check this one out.” — SCOOP
“Gutwrencher is as capable as [Hack/Slash, Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Ash]. Something about having the slasher’s face blacked out gives the book a spookier edge… The art really makes it stand out… a little more subtle, giving more meaning to facial expressions. This comic takes a fairly typical idea and turns it into something special…” — Newsarama
“With GUTWRENCHER, I think they’ve finally found a worthy entry. It’s a keeper.” — Comics Waiting Room
