With their recent Dracula series by James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds and their upcoming Frankenstein series from Michael Walsh, Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics have teamed up with Universal Products & Experiences to bring the iconic Universal Monsters from the big screen to the paneled page, and now readers can return to the swamp to get reacquainted with another classic cinematic character in Universal Monsters: Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives!
Written by Dan Watters (Home Sick Pilots) and Ram V (Dawnrunner), and featuring artwork by Matthew Roberts (Manifest Destiny) and coloring by Dave Stewart (Hellboy), the first issue of Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives! is now available from Skybound, and Daily Dead had the pleasure of catching up with Dan Watters and Ram V in a video interview to discuss continuing the legacy of the Creature in a story that's set years following the events of the 1954 film,...

1954's "The Creature From The Black Lagoon" was the last gasp of Universal Pictures' black-and-white horror heyday. Pivoting away from literary adaptations towards something more resembling contemporary man-in-suit monster movies, "Black Lagoon" introduced one last staple of the Universal Monster line-up: The Gill-man. A missing link in the evolutionary chain, the amphibian man has the same mix of terror and lovelorn pathos as his monstrous brethren.
It's not quite the pop-culture staple that "Dracula" and "Frankenstein" are, but "The Creature From The Black Lagoon" has been reimagined many times (most famously in 2017 with Guillermo del Toro's Best Picture-winning oddball romance "The Shape of Water" — it was almost black-and-white like "Black Lagoon" too). Now a new comic book starring the Gill-Man comes forth from Skybound Entertainment, boasting a title that belongs to a forgotten Universal Horror picture: "The Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives!"
Skybound isn't just revitalizing "The Transformers" and "G.I. Joe.

Yo, Joe! The crossover your inner child has been screaming for became a reality after Paramount shared plans to develop a G.I. Joe and Transformers crossover film! Paramount Pictures teased the project in last year’s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and now it’s official! Steven Spielberg is producing the live-action clash of two of the most legendary properties in entertainment, with the plot inspired by a story in the 1980s Marvel-published comics. No director is attached to the project, at least not yet. Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura returns alongside Mark Vahradian, Michael Bay, Tom DeSanto, and Don Murphy.
Despite the story of the G.I. Joe and Transformers crossover taking inspiration from the Marvel comics era, both franchises are gaining popularity with new fans thanks to the current comic book runs published by Skybound. Skybound has published issues of the G.I. Joe comics Duke and Cobra Commander for several months,...

Last year, Skybound Entertainment, the company founded by David Alpert and The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, teamed up with Universal Pictures not only to bring us the Dracula comedy Renfield, but also the four-issue comic book limited series Universal Monsters: Dracula. Now The Hollywood Reporter has broken the news that there’s another Universal Monsters comic book series coming out of this Skybound and Universal partnership: Universal Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives! Like the Dracula series, the Creature from the Black Lagoon series will consist of four issues, but while the Dracula comic was an adaptation of the classic Universal film, this Creature from the Black Lagoon series tells “a brand-new story featuring beloved Gill-Man.”

You know the score by now with these 100 page anniversary specials. They are a celebration of some of the most iconic characters DC has on their roster, with a nice blend of multiple covers by great artists, around a dozen stories by different writers and artists and some bonus pin-ups. Pricey, but usually worth the money. Aquaman is certainly worthy of celebration, reaching 80 years in print is no mean feat after all, though he’s not always been such a celebrated character. Often the focus of ridicule in fact, despite being one of the longest serving members of the Justice League. I always liked the classic Aquaman personally, not so much the post-Peter David version, hook for hand and all. To each their own though. Which is lucky, as you can choose from the following 11 stories and eras. Let’s take a look.

I’m a pretty easy mark when it comes to Superman books. A quick check of my collection shows over 2000 books with Superman in them. Throw in Superboy and Supergirl and, well, I guess I’ve got a super-addiction. But I digress. As much as I love Superman, he’s been a well travelled property in his 83 years of being published, and coming up with new approaches, or new spins on old wheels, is getting harder and harder. Superman: Red and Blue seems to exist for just that reason, to give Superman some fresh takes, some new looks, but to retain that central core that defines him. all in just the colours red and blue, of course. I like the idea, so I hope the execution lives up to it. Let’s take a look.

Orm Marius has been out of the public eye since the Aquaman movie and Drowned Earth, the Justice League/Aquaman crossover that had ancient ocean gods attempting to get revenge on Atlantis by turning everyone into a fish monster. It was also largely cover for the Legion of Doom stealing the Totality from the Justice League, something that directly led to Luthor's power up at the hands of Perpetua, and then...

Secrets of Sinister House pits Red Rain Batman against an actual Owlman for Batgirl's life...and Harley Quinn in a haunted clown motel.
DC has been doing this holiday anthology thing for a few years now, and I'm stunned at how many of them have been pleasant surprises. In the past, fans might want to temper expectations for these, but that hasn't been the case lately, and with DC's horror anthology The Secrets of Sinister House arriving for the Halloween season, we should have some pleasant nightmares to look forward to.
Typically, books like this are space fillers, meant to ship something on a fifth week to keep retailers happy, and a way to clear out some stock stories and give new names a tryout. These seasonal anthologies from DC have been much higher quality than that - new folks are still getting their first shot,...

Z2 Comics partnered up with rock band Skillet to release a graphic novel titled “Eden: A Skillet Graphic Novel” and we have to say that it is an absolute must-read for both comic and music fans alike. The story surrounded the main characters John and Korey along with the help from ex-soldier Seth and cyborg Jen on their quest to protect their loved ones from a group of zealots that steal a machine that served as a protection device and eventually lead them all into redemption. The story sucked us in from beginning to end with its amazingly vivid imagery and immersive storyline. While many of us are most familiar with Skillet’s musical works, it is fascinating to see what they were able to bring to the table when working in another creative medium. “Eden: A Skillet Graphic Novel” was co-written by John Cooper of Skillet along with Random...

Secrets of Sinister House takes us back to Red Rain Batman just in time for Halloween.
Fifth weeks are odd beasts in the comics world. They throw off the natural rhythm of comic publishing, with one book every two or four weeks, and end up stacking some months ane leaving others barren. Fortunately, comic companies have found fun and creative ways to deal with them. Like having Bill Sienkiewicz ink a John Romita Jr. drawing of Vampire Batman from Red Rain chasing down a possibly envampired Joker.
Secrets of Sinister House is, like all of DC's seasonal anthology books, 80 pages of short stories, in and out of continuity, with mix and match creative teams that let us get introduced to some new creators and duck back into favorite continuities. Included in this anthology are:
- Rafael Scavone and Rafael Albuquerque telling a story with the above-mentioned...

DC confirms that the Hellblazer will return to his roots in a new John Constantine series.
Vertigo might be gone, but the Sandman Universe is still going strong at DC with a new series and second year renewals for all four of its launch books.

Constantine's first appearance was in the pages of Alan Moore and Rick Veitch's Swamp Thing, but he quickly migrated to Vertigo, and his family played an integral part in Neil Gaiman and company's original run of Sandman comics.

Seems like an age since the last time I reviewed this book, which is probably a good thing as it allows a reviewer to regain a little perspective. Although the book as a whole I like, I was getting a little picky with details here and there, so will be interesting to see if I was getting a little over critical, not critical enough, or getting it just about right. I’ve been a bit Assassin’s Creed absorbed of late, playing the games and reading some of the novels, so reviewing this issue is a bit of a busmen’s holiday as well.
Can’t remember everything that’s going on since the last review? Me neither, so time for a swift recap. The central premise of this book has been the rise of The Instruments of the First Will,...

It's hard to believe that it's been 30 years since Neil Gaiman launched the Sandman comic series at DC Comics. Gaiman stopped writing Sandman stories about three years ago but he's ready to jump back into the world of Sandman as he is going to expand the universe in four new comic spinoff series that he is overseeing for DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint.
Sandman followed the character Dream, who is both the personification, as well as the lord over all dreams and stories. Over the course of his stories, he has tangled with gods, monsters, and humans. Entertainment Weekly reveals that the new series will kick off this August with The Sandman Universe one-shot special. That special will catch readers up on what’s been happening in Dream’s realm. The report goes on to fill us in on some details of that, saying:

Tis’ the season to write Top Ten lists, as you all well know. Don’t roll your eyes, you know you expect it. I am nothing if not a slave to fashion. I have picked out my personal favourite ten titles of the many books I have read and reviewed this year. You may well disagree but, hey, it’s my list. Enjoy.
10. Tekken (Cavan Scott / Andie Tong)
Tekken was one of those books that didn’t put on any airs and graces, and just delivered to its core audience exactly what they wanted. Action, fighting, action, and, er , fighting. To be fair Cavan Scott tried to get a little emotional depth in, but Andie Tong’s visuals and plenty of action delivered what the fans wanted.
