The time is the 1950s and the place is a very unique American city. Los Monstruos is entirely populated with classic monsters from movies and folklore. Vampires, Man-Monsters, Werewolves, Mummies, and many other fantastic creatures. Perry Cutter, werewolf P.I., has just foiled a gill-man kidnapping when another case falls into his lap. The case: finding a missing vampiress, seems simple enough, until Perry realizes he must walk a razor's edge between crime-boss and pyramid casino owner Ramses and the hardboiled team of vampire cops known as the Night Shift. Perry is reminded, yet again, that nothing in this city is simple. Come visit Los Mons more

May 19, 2025Los Monstruos #1 is a great read. Seeing popular monsters walk about on the street like its nothing is wildly interesting.

If readers are interested, you can pick this up at your local comic book store or where they are sold online. Read Full Review

Perry fails to catch it, but he decides to become a werewolf and catches it, freeing the bat, tha is a kidnapped child vampire. Perry introduces us to the city of Monsters, an alternate version of Las Vegas in the 1950s, which became a haven for monsters who live like a typical, diverse society. The comic is narrated as a noir detective novel, which, in addition to the aesthetics of the 1950s where it is set (the golden age of monster movies), brilliantly deconstructs this genre and blends it with supernatural horror. Even the recreations of the detective's visits to a restaurant with a waitress he's in love with (in more

Fables, but with monsters instead of fairy tale characters. I have read worse. While the art isn't exactly mind-blowing, it's solid enough to not get in the way of enjoying this clichéd but atmospheric story.
