Monster High: New Scaremester #4

Part four of IDW's Monster High: New Scaremester arrives with a charming cover by Arielle Jovellanos, spotlighting a confident young monster student primping at her coffin-shaped locker — applying lip color in a mirror while sporting a purple miniskirt, fur-trimmed jacket, and strappy gold-buckled boots. The locker bank is delightfully lived-in, decorated with a bat sticker, a skull padlock, sticky notes about cheerleading practice, and little mementos that make Monster High feel like a real school with real social stakes. With Jacque Aye writing and Caroline Shuda on interior art, this 2024 series continues to capture exactly the mix of spooky atmosphere and relatable high-school energy that makes Monster High so endearing.
