Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics, in partnership with Universal Products & Experiences, have announced a new four-issue limited comic book titled Universal Monsters: The Phantom of the Opera. The series comes from the team of Tyler Boss (You’ll Do Bad Things) and Martin Simmonds (Universal Monsters: Dracula, The Department of Truth).
The series is said to offer a shocking new reimagining of The Phantom of the Opera.
The official synopsis of the series reads “A young soprano, Christine, finds her career in chaos after a series of violent crimes plagues the Paris Opera House. But the show must go on, and Christine will discover that no one – especially the mysterious voice whispering from the eaves – is what they seem. As an old friend returns to investigate these surprising attacks, Christine will discover her connection to the truth and the man known as…THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.”
“What separates the Phantom of the Opera from the other Universal Monsters is that it’s the only ghost story of the lot,” said Tyler Boss. “With the Paris Opera House as our haunted site, and a production of Faust about to be performed, I couldn’t imagine a more perfect collaborator to breathe life into the Phantom of the Opera than Martin Simmonds.”
“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.”
The series is set to arrive in February 2026.
