The most awful monsters in the history of cinema have been unleashed on a small, unassuming town. Only Van Helsing and a group of terrified movie fans stand in their way. Before the night is out, though, one horror screen legend will ascend to the dreaded role of God of Monsters!
The artwork of the various monsters throughout the four issues has been fantastic fun and seeing a mash-up of so many monsters in one comic put me in mind of the old 1930s and 40s Universal Monster Movies. All that is missing from this story is a fictional comedy team based on Abbott and Costello. Read Full Review
Hurtt delivers beautifully dark and tense art throughout the issue. Crabtrees colors bring these dark moments to life and I loved both the details in the panels and how the colors add an extra visual spark to them. Read Full Review
A literal killer film mixed with classic monster movies is a great concept and the first three issues did a solid job of executing that premise. It just stumbled at the finish line. Read Full Review
Cullen Bunn tries to juggle multiple plotlines and character arcs in this concluding(?) issue to what has been, up to this point, a fun take on classic Universal Monster stories. The pace is SO brisk, throwing the group into one perilous situation after another, that you may suffer whiplash before you even understand what’s happening. While it took the first two issues to set up the plot, it felt like this final issue could have been at least two or three issues itself. Brian Hurtt's art continued to be a wonderful treat, bringing the monsters to life with great detail, making them truly terrifying in a comic book way that combines horror with more rounded lines evoking classic comic strips.
Did Bunn expect to have longer to te more
