12 Most Anticipated Comics Coming In 2018
3. Young Monsters In Love
Release Date: February 7
As far as Valentines specials go, they don't get any weirder - or better - than Young Monsters in Love. Featuring an all-star cast of talents with Paul Dini, Kyle Higgins, Jeff Lemire, Phil Hester, Joe Kelly and more all aboard, Young Monsters will feature the likes of Swamp Thing, Frankenstein and more in a selection of romantic tales to cap off DC's Valentine's week.
We don't know much else about it other than that, but in any case, it's always great to see DC's supernatural side receive renewed interest, especially when it's been nothing if not dormant for past few years, despite the New 52's attempts to galvanise the genre with Justice League Dark. That isn't to say that the Valentines special could lead to more of the same, but as far as indicators do go, having your horror-themed books release outside of spooky season is as good a one as any that DC are keen to devote more time to their horror comics.
If that means a Swamp Thing revival, or anything of the sort, then that's only more reason to get excited about Monsters in Love. Plus, we get to see Paul Dini work with DC again; who'd want to miss that?
