Monsters Are My Business #1

Dark Horse kicks off this 2024 series with a cover that sets the tone perfectly: a tiny car barreling through a moody urban street, its hood occupied by a small furry creature wielding a gun, while a hulking brute hefting a massive axe and a white-haired woman with a chain stand ready for trouble — all framed by enormous purple tentacles snaking in from the sides. The mix of humor and genuine menace in that image is a hard balance to strike, and Cullen Bunn, Patrick Piazzalunga, Marco Brakko, and Jim Campbell nail it right out of the gate. If your taste runs toward monster-hunting mayhem with a quirky ensemble and a sense of fun, Monsters Are My Business #1 looks like exactly the series you've been waiting for.
