Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics are diving back into the Universal Monsters line with Universal Monsters: The Phantom of the Opera, a new four-issue limited series from Tyler Boss (You’ll Do Bad Things) and Martin Simmonds (Dracula, The Department of Truth). The series hits shelves February 25, 2026, offering a chilling new take on one of horror’s most enduring figures.
“Tyler Boss and Martin Simmonds have crafted a beautifully horrific tale in their exploration of The Phantom of the Opera filled with grit, tension, and all the makings of an operatic nightmare,” said Diegs Lopez, Senior Editor at Skybound. “It’s been a joy to see these two storytellers retell this story in a way that I don’t think fans have ever experienced but will be sure to devour.”
