Monarchs

In this sci-fi series from Scout Comics, a small crew of astronauts exploring a distant world discovers that they may not be alone—and that the planet's ancient inhabitants are not as extinct as believed. Launched in 2018, Monarchs blends survival horror with cosmic mystery, anchored by the moody, atmospheric art of Fernando Pinto. Though only a single issue has been released so far, its taut premise and striking visuals have marked it as a promising entry in modern indie comics.
