Can Perry close the case plus a solve a mystery from his own past, or will he never get to see another full moon? Oh, and will he ever go on a date with Rosie, the vampire diner waitress of his dreams? In a place like Los Monstruos anything can happen!

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 Monstruos, a wild, wonderful city full of monsters and mystery.

Los Monstruos #1

P.I. Perry Cutter is on the case in Los Monstruos, a hardboiled monster mystery from James Robinson and Jesús Merino

Dark Horse Comics presents Los Monstruos, a new four-issue detective mystery/monster mash-up miniseries set in the 1950s written by James Robinson, illustrated by Jesús Merino, colored by K.J. Diaz, and lettered by Jim Campbell. Issue #1 will be available in May 2025 and will feature main cover art by Merino as well as four variant covers by Tony Harris, Marcos Martín, Ramon Perez, and Dan Panosian.  

Los Monstruos, located on the West Coast of America, is a city populated solely by monsters of all the kinds you’d find in classic folklore and black-and-white horror movies. They’re all just getting on with their lives, working, doing jobs, nothing bad, nothing evil. Well, apart from the crooks and gangsters in Los Monstruos’ underworld, but every city has those, right? All cities have private detectives, too, and werewolf P.I. Perry Cutter has a simple case that’s quickly turning into a king-size headache. Initially hired to find an old man’s lost love from among the city’s vampire community, Perry quickly finds things spiraling out of control as both vampire and Egyptian mummy criminal gangs begin to get involved too. So, as Perry looks for answers, he runs a gauntlet of danger while also uncovering dark secrets about his own past as a cop in the Los Monstruos Police Department. Can Perry solve the case, put his history to rest, stay alive, and still make that date he has with that cute vampire waitress he’s crazy about? It’s sure going to take all his skills as a detective and his abilities as a werewolf to do it.

Los Monstruos #1 (of 4) will be available in comic shops on May 7, 2025. It is now available to pre-order for $4.99 at your local comic shop.

Spencer Ackerman: Amanda Waller’s Kissinger-Sized Victory in Waller Vs Wildstorm

“Power doesn’t shatter on impact with journalism,” – Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Spencer Ackerman.

Ackerman returns to talk about the thrilling conclusion of his DC comics debut, Waller Vs. Wildstorm, the role of journalism in social movements, blogging antiwar protests, why Tim Drake is the best Robin, and share some of his favorite Wildstorm comics. 

For a spoiler-free introduction to the Waller Vs. Wildstorm miniseries, listen to our conversation back in March. Waller Vs. Wildstorm is Spencer’s DC Comics Black Label mini series with co-writer Evan Narcisse, artist Jesús Merino, and color artist Michael Atiyeh. It’s jawdroppingly good, even if you don’t know Wildstorm. It’s full of politics, espionage and Deathstroke on a jetski. This is an extremely Graphic Policy Radio series…

Jackson King has done his part, and Lois Lane has all the information she needs to take down Amanda Waller…but is she already too late? As it turns out, Waller has powerful allies in very high places–like the orbiting satellite platform Skywatch–and they’ll be the final Authority on her fate!

Waller vs. Wildtorm #4 (of 4)

Waller vs. Wildstorm #3 is good as part of the story but doesn’t stand on its own

The island nation of Gamorra is eager for American investment even more eager for American metahuman weapons. Amanda Waller has just what they want: the Cybernary system. But the blood that her mercenaries spilled to get it has put her directly in Jackson King’s sights. Waller vs. Wildstorm #3 is interesting and delivers actions and surprises but doesn’t feel like it stands on its own to be enjoyed.

Waller vs. Wildstorm #2 is a dialed back issue that feels more like a play than superhero comic

The island nation of Gamorra is eager for American investment-and even more eager for American metahuman weapons. Amanda Waller has just what they want: the Cybernary system. But the blood that her mercenaries spilled to get it has put her directly in Jackson King’s sights. Waller vs. Wildstorm #2 is an intriguing issue that feels a bit like a courtroom drama.
