The Wolf Man is the next iconic creature from Universal Monsters to get the comic book treatment from Image Comics, this time from Joshua Williamson and Leomacs.
Universal Monsters: Blood of the Wolf Man will be a four-issue miniseries written by Joshua Williamson (Birthright, Superman, Rogues) and drawn by Leomacs (Basketful of Heads, Rogues) that will hit a comic book shop near you in June 2026. Blood of the Wolf Man arrives on the heels of previous Universal Monsters comics published by Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics, such as James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds' Universal Monsters: Dracula, Universal Monsters: The Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives! by Dan Watters, Ram V, and Matthew Roberts, Universal Monsters: The Mummy by Faith Erin Hicks and Lee Loughridge, Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man by James Tynion, DaNi, and Brad Simpson, and Universal Monsters: Frankenstein by Michael Walsh and Toni-Marie Griffin.
Take a look at preview pages from Blood of the Wolf Man #1, along with variant covers by Leomacs & Pip Martin, Joshua Middleton, Maria Wolf & Mike Spicer, David Talaski, Jorge Fornés, Guillem March, and Michael Walsh.

In a press release, Joshua Williamson stated, "As a big fan of the 1941 The Wolf Man film from Universal Pictures and the Universal Monsters comics line with Skybound, I knew I had to do this book. It’s very different from my usual superhero work. Easily the most tragic. It’s a dramatic, emotional, and heartbreaking comic about family and generation trauma. All key pieces of a horror story. Oh, and bloody and violent. It earns the Blood of the Wolf Man title in more ways than one. And of course, I had to bring along my Rogues partner in crime Leomacs. His art captures the pain of The Wolf Man and the world he’s living in. This is not going to be what you expect…" With an ellipsis like that, Williamson has us locked in.
Artist Leomacs echoed Williamson's feelings toward the Wolf Man. "The Wolf Man has also always been a favorite of mine, so it’s a dream to draw this amazing character in a brand-new story and setting, penned by the amazing Joshua Williamson. Together we explore the Wolf Man’s bloodlust and the inevitable consequences." We do love an emo monster moment.
