August 9, 2021 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

Cover of Just Beyond: Monstrosity

Today we have a preview of Just Beyond: Monstrosity, by R.L. Stine, the author of the Goosebumps series. Stine is creating a series of original graphic novels, Just Beyond, for BOOM! Studios, and last year BOOM! announced that the series is being adapted for TV on Disney+. BOOM! is publishing the middle-grade horror series under its KaBOOM! kids’ imprint, and this book features a new artist, Irene Flores (Heavy Vinyl), with additional inks by Lea Caballero, colors by Joana LaFuente, and lettering by Mike Fiorentino. Here’s the executive summary:

THERE’S NO BUSINESS LIKE HORROR BUSINESS! Ruthie and Ezra Dillon’s dad and uncle just bought an old Hollywood movie studio. And while the family has plans for reviving it to make scary movies for a modern audience, the monsters hiding in the backlot have other ideas. Ruthie and Ezra are eager to star in their family’s films, but they’ll soon find themselves in a real horror show with Wolfenscreem, the Lagoonatics, and the Wasp-Keeper…who are all ready for their revival with a vengeance! 

Just Beyond: Monstrosity will be available in comic shops on October 20 and in bookstores and online on October 26. In the meantime, here’s a sample. Enjoy!
