The Wolf Man is joining the monster pack in Universal Monsters: Blood of the Wolf Man by writer Joshua Williamson (G.I. Joe) and artist Leomacs (Basketful of Heads). The four-issue limited series will be published by Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics in partnership with Universal Products & Experiences. The first issue is set for release in June 2026.

Adam Jaeger was planning to reinvent himself at college – though it’s happening in a way that he did not expect. He was partying and having fun one minute, and then a massacre took place and he was one of the few survivors. Unfortunately for Adam, he might be the one responsible for the deaths and as the wolf tries to break free, he’ll do whatever he can to stop it.

“As a big fan of the 1941 The Wolf Man film from Universal Pictures and the Universal Monsters comics line with Skybound, I knew I had to do this book,” Williamson said. “It’s very different from my usual superhero work. Easily the most tragic. It’s a dramatic, emotional, and heartbreaking comic about family and generation trauma. All key pieces of a horror story. Oh, and bloody and violent. It earns the Blood of the Wolf Man title in more ways than one. And of course, I had to bring along my Rogues partner in crime Leomacs. His art captures the pain of The Wolf Man and the world he’s living in. This is not going to be what you expect…”

“Universal Monsters films have always captured my imagination, as there’s so much humanity in these characters. They are all incredibly iconic because they are both tragically human and terrifying like a wild nightmare at the same time,” Leomacs said. “The Wolf Man has also always been a favorite of mine, so it’s a dream to draw this amazing character in a brand-new story and setting, penned by the amazing Joshua Williamson. Together we explore the Wolf Man’s bloodlust and the inevitable consequences.”

Blood of the Wolf Man is the seventh Universal monster comic from the collaboration between Skybound and Universal. The series began with Dracula by James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds, then Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives! by Ram V, Dan Watters, and Matthew Roberts, Frankenstein by Michael Walsh, The Mummy by Faith Erin Hick, The Invisible Man by Tynion and Dani, and most recently with Phantom of the Opera by Tyler Boss and Martin Simmonds.

“It’s amazing to see Joshua Williamson and Leomacs reunite to present this reimagining of the iconic The Wolf Man story. Josh is firing on all cylinders, adding to The Wolf Man mythos with wonderfully tragic and emotional storytelling, and Leomacs perfectly brings this 1970s world to life with his tense and visceral storytelling,” Skybound Senior Editor Diegs Lopez said. “Coming off the thrilling conclusion of Phantom of the Opera in May, we’re excited to now bring Universal Monsters stories to readers every month.”
