Created by acclaimed writer and artist Faith Erin Hicks, the series originally debuted in 2025 as a four-issue limited run. It will be republished as a two-issue double feature, remastered in black and white.
The first issue arrives February 24, 2027, complete with Cover A by Faith Erin Hicks and Lee Loughridge and Cover B by Mark Chiarello. Meanwhile, the second issue follows on March 24 of the same year, with covers by Hicks, Loughridge, and Annie Wu.
Both issues cost $6.99 and will be available at comic book shops and digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
How Skybound is expanding its Universal Monsters comic book universe
Skybound and Universal Products & Experiences continue expanding their Universal Monsters comic book line with standalone stories from top-tier creators. The collection began with Dracula by James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds in 2023, followed by Creature From the Black Lagoon Lives! by Dan Watters, Ram V, and Matthew Roberts in 2024. Michael Walsh’s Frankenstein, released in August 2024, followed the classic monster’s story through a fresh comic book adaptation.
The publisher later introduced The Invisible Man by James Tynion IV and DANI, Phantom of the Opera by Tyler Boss and Martin Simmonds, and Blood of the Wolf Man by Joshua Williamson and Leomacs. Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis’ The Bride of Frankenstein Lives! is the latest addition to the expanding collection.
As for The Mummy comic book, it is the fourth installment in the overall lineup. The remastered black-and-white edition revisits the comic story of Helen Grosvenor, a woman caught between two worlds and haunted by a cursed childhood encounter.
The special gives readers another glimpse into the Mummy story before Fraser’s The Mummy 4 arrives on October 15, 2027.
