Pretty much ever since Skybound kicked off its Universal Monsters line of books, fans have asked “what about the Wolf Man?” Well, question answered as Joshua Williamson and Leomacs will tackled Universal Monsters: Blood of the Wolf Man, a four-issue series, starting this June.
“As a big fan of the 1941 The Wolf Man film from Universal Pictures and the Universal Monsters comics line with Skybound, I knew I had to do this book,” said Williamson via press release. “It’s very different from my usual superhero work. Easily the most tragic. It’s a dramatic, emotional, and heartbreaking comic about family and generation trauma. All key pieces of a horror story. Oh, and bloody and violent. It earns the Blood of the Wolf Man title in more ways than one. And of course, I had to bring along my Rogues partner in crime Leomacs. His art captures the pain of The Wolf Man and the world he’s living in. This is not going to be what you expect…”
Added Leomacs, “Universal Monsters films have always captured my imagination, as there’s so much humanity in these characters. They are all incredibly iconic because they are both tragically human and terrifying like a wild nightmare at the same time. The Wolf Man has also always been a favorite of mine, so it’s a dream to draw this amazing character in a brand-new story and setting, penned by the amazing Joshua Williamson. Together we explore the Wolf Man’s bloodlust and the inevitable consequences.”
In the series, college student Adam Jaeger is trying to reinvent himself, when he finds that after a massacre at a party, he’s going through some changes. Is he, perhaps, responsible for the massacre? And more importantly, how good is he at playing basketball?
“It’s amazing to see Joshua Williamson and Leomacs reunite to present this reimagining of the iconic The Wolf Man story. Josh is firing on all cylinders, adding to The Wolf Man mythos with wonderfully tragic and emotional storytelling, and Leomacs perfectly brings this 1970s world to life with his tense and visceral storytelling,” said Diegs Lopez, Senior Editor at Skybound. “Coming off the thrilling conclusion of Phantom of the Opera in May, we’re excited to now bring Universal Monsters stories to readers every month.”
Universal Monsters: Blood of the Wolf Man #1 (of 4) hits stores on Wednesday, June 24, 2026. Check out preview pages and covers below.
