Absolute Wonder Woman’s Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis revive Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives from Skybound and Image Comics in October 2026 in a new limited series. Announced this weekend at the American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference & Exhibition, Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives #1 arrives just in time for Halloween, landing in comic book shops on the 28th of October.
« HERE COMES THE BRIDE… Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis reunite once again to deliver the most haunting new horror series of the year. Born in the heart of a thunderstorm, made of stolen flesh, electricity, and monstrous desperation—The Bride lives! With no memory of her past or understanding of what she is, The Bride takes her first steps into this strange new world. With danger seemingly lurking around every corner, she must solve the mystery of where and who she came from…and discover what makes life worth living. »
« The original Bride of Frankenstein is a brilliant film exploring the creature’s failed attempts to find friendship and community, and then the desperate act to force others to create that which he cannot find. What it’s not about, however, is how The Bride herself feels about her creation. Through The Bride of Frankenstein Lives we get the opportunity to explore not only her search for who and what she is, but her search for the women that were destroyed to create her — all brought to striking vivid life via Mattia De Iluis’s incredible visuals. » – Kelly Thompson.
« When I first read Kelly’s script, I knew right away this was going to be something special. We are finally giving the Bride the center stage, she’s no longer someone’s property, she is a human being fighting for her own story. And for me, it’s an honor to translate that onto the page. » – Mattia De Iulis.
C’est une suite du film, en quelque sorte ?
Yep !
