Monkey Meat: The Summer Batch

A five-issue anthology series from Image Comics, Monkey Meat: The Summer Batch serves up a rotating cast of characters and creators in standalone stories, all tied together by a single, mysterious can of monkey meat. Launched in 2025, the series showcases a fresh, eclectic mix of talent, with each issue offering a new genre and tone. It matters as a bold, creator-driven experiment in serialized storytelling, proving that a shared gimmick can be the springboard for wildly original, self-contained tales.
