Universal Monsters: Bride of Frankenstein Lives launches on October 28, bringing a four-issue horror miniseries to comic book stores just in time for Halloween. The project reunites writer Kelly Thompson and artist Mattia De Iulis, the creative team previously known for The Cull.
According to Image Comics, the 32-page debut issue carries a cover price of $4. 99. Collectors face a significant choice with 11 different cover options listed for the first issue.
The narrative centers on the Bride awakening during a thunderstorm. Assembled from stolen flesh and brought to life by electricity, she possesses no memory of her past or understanding of her own nature. Her primary objective is to uncover her origins while learning to survive in a world she is reluctant to inhabit.
Dread Central highlighted the extensive cover lineup available for the launch. The reported variants include work from several established artists. Cover B features Joshua Middleton, while Cover D is illustrated by Luana Vecchio. Rosemary Valero-O’Connell provides the art for Cover F, and Christian Ward handles Cover G. David Talaski is listed for Cover H. This collection of artists offers diverse visual approaches to the Bride’s return.
The announcement confirms the specific release date and pricing structure for the series. It also details the creative team responsible for the story and the sheer volume of cover art available for the initial issue.
No further details regarding the remaining issues or additional creative contributors beyond the first issue have been provided in the current reporting. The focus remains on the immediate availability of the debut issue and its extensive variant options for collectors.
