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.
