This Week's Pick: MY DATE WITH MONSTERS

MY DATE WITH MONSTERS HOUSE AD

Debuting at comic shops everywhere tomorrow, Paul Tobin (BUNNY MASK) and Andy MacDonald’s (I BREATHED A BODY) MY DATE WITH MONSTERS mixes weaponized nightmares with monsters and modern dating. Originally announced this past August, this is a unique story of one woman’s quest to save the world, if only she could learn the difference between love and monsters.

“It’s a world where dream research has ripped a hole between realities, and now legions of legendary monsters stalk the lands,” said Tobin. “The only way these dream portals can be closed is if certain people quit having nightmares, if they find peace, and lead character Risa needs...to fall in love. We’re talking TRUE love. Helping her (mostly) is Croak…, a troll with (maybe) her best interests in mind, but he’s ALSO fond of how she finds and kills monsters, because Croak eats monsters, and he’s always ravenous. So the comic is Risa’s story of trying to navigate a world that’s both full of monsters, and monstrously bad dates. She isn’t sure which she’d rather face.”

Added MacDonald, “EVERYONE should pick up this book because in these tumultuous times we all need to see that we can get through it together! Even if being together means almost being eaten by nightmares, having a monster give questionable life lessons to your kids and endless horrible dates.”

HERE’S WHAT’S SHAKING
THIS WEEK

MY DATE
WITH MONSTERS #1

Writer: Paul Tobin
Artist: Andy MacDonald

NEW SERIES!

Seven years ago, an attempt to weaponize dreams resulted in holes being punched through the world we know and into the world of dreams. Nightmarish creatures now stalk the land, sprouting from (and killing) anyone unlucky enough to dream. The only way to save the world is for certain people to have their dreams come true.

Which is how Risa Harumi finds herself not only fighting monsters, but forced into finding true love. Monsters and modern dating? It feels like a nightmare either way, and the only help Risa has is a friendly-ish monster named Croak and her pre-teen daughter, Machi.
