The four-issue Universal Monsters story begins October 28, with a bride searching for her identity and a way to survive.

Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives #1 is due in comic shops and on digital platforms on October 28. Writer Kelly Thompson and artist Mattia De Iulis reunite for a four-issue series from Skybound and Image Comics, in partnership with Universal Products & Experiences. The story begins with a newly living

Bride who has no memory of her past or understanding of her own creation. Her first encounter with the world leaves her searching for an identity while confronting the immediate problem of staying alive. The opening issue is listed at $4.99 for its standard editions. Luana Vecchio contributes a connecting variant-cover

series across the four issues, forming a single image when assembled. This launch is the eighth series in the publishers’ Universal Monsters comics line. Readers can choose their preferred cover while following the same central story of a woman attempting to discover and reclaim her history. Source: Official
