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.

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.
