Gut-Wrenching Series He Who Fights With Monsters Hits ABLAZE this Halloween
He Who Fights With Monsters is the latest Halloween spook, which pits the horrors of Nazis against the terrors of an ancient and supernatural monster.
The World Wars were by far the closest we as humans got to making the world a horror landscape, from concentration camps to killing entire cities.
It was a time when the “Truth” itself could be anything that a few powerful men wanted, so it might not be far from the realm of possibility that actual monsters roamed the streets.
Recently, ABLAZE Publishing announced that He Who Fights With Monsters by Francesco Artibani with art by Werther Dell’Edera would be available for purchase, digitally and physically, on 7th September 2021.
The visual depicts a WW2 Motorbike with a sidecar; however, only the skeleton of its rider now remains. The grey monotone pallet paints a picture of death, while the ghostly apparitions of a man cover most of the page. The cover visual is very ominous and hints at the story inside.
Francesco Alberto is a well-known comic book writer and screenwriter, and he has worked on many well-known franchises such as the X Men and Doctor Strange.
While artist Werther Dell’Edera is known for the monster hit, Something is Killing the Children.
Unlike many other World War stories I read, this comic takes place in the unique setting of Prague, a city under Nazi occupation. While the resistance forces are trying to fight back against the Nazis, they too are on their backfoot as the SS take control of every street with overwhelming force.
However, as we know that necessity is the mother of all inventions, the resistance comes with a crazy plot. They set on reviving an ancient monster that could be key to their salvation, but only if they control its power.
Will the resistance succeed in fighting fire with fire, or will this terrible monster be set loose on the world? The new series will treat anyone interested in WW2 because of the comics’ unique setting in an occupied NazI city.
Find out when the comic hits shelves this Halloween!
