Get ready to meet the monsters who fight back. Monster Forge is proud to announce the launch of its highly anticipated anthology comic book, Forge of Monsters — a bold new series introducing an original lineup of horror-fueled heroes set to carve out their legend in the ever-expanding Monster Forge Universe.
"Millennia gone by, an ancient society existed. In the dominion of Hypothrexia, a ruling class of sorcerers communed with powerful, otherworldly, chaotic powers. In an effort to control these forces, the sorcerers created a terrible artifact that could summon and harness the ungodly essence of these entities—a MONSTER FORGE! Such energies, though, are not meant to be controlled. The frenzied, berserk backlash that ripped their world apart, killed the dinosaurs, brought about the Ice Age, shifted the continents, and birthed a new world. Over countless eons, the Monster Forge was forgotten, but it is still out there, hidden, buried, hemorrhaging dark energies that have influenced the world ever since. Over countless eons, the Monster Forge was forgotten by all but the most sinister of cults, …until now."
Featuring an unholy alliance of some of the comic industry’s most legendary and visionary talents, this first volume explodes onto the page with terrifying tales and monstrous mythologies that will reshape the horror genre. From cursed crusaders and supernatural survivors to ghastly guardians, these are the monsters that don’t hide under your bed—they protect it.
