Monsters_Unleashed_Prelude_TPB_Cover.jpg

With the previews rolling out this week, Marvel has announced a few huge projects but here are the thigns that caught our attention at Stately Beat Manor:

Monsters Unleashes, written by Cullen Bunn, is the “mini event” for Marvel early next year and they’re kicking things off with with the MONSTERS UNLEASHED PRELUDE TPB in January, a $34.99 hardcover reprint of some ultra-tasty old Monster comics by some of comics greatest featuring such  immortals as Monstrom, Grottu, Moomba, Bruttu, Orrgo, Elsa Bloodstone, Lady Hellbender, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur and more. I don’t see Braggadoom on this list but otherwise it is promising. And don’t let the Greg Land cover fool you; inside its some old timey Kirby stuff with newer monsters stuff:

MONSTERS UNLEASHED PRELUDE TPB collects FEARLESS DEFENDERS #8, MARVEL ZOMBIES (2015) #1, MOON GIRL AND DEVIL DINOSAUR #1, TOTALLY AWESOME HULK #2-3 and material from STRANGE TALES (1951) #73 & #90, TALES TO ASTONISH (1959) #11-13, #15, #17, #19 and #23; and TALES OF SUSPENSE #15, #17, #19 and #22.
