Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Necessary Monsters trade paperback collection has been placed on hold and will now not be appearing from AiT/PlanetLAR. We’re currently actively engaged in landing a new publisher for the book – any interested parties should feel free to drop us a line here.
Myself and Sean would like to say a big thank you to all the Monsters’ fans for your support. As soon as we’ve some concrete details to share about the series’ future, be sure that we’ll let you all know about them right here. In the meantime, keep an eye on Phat Comics and E-merl for all the latest comics fun from the Azzopardi / Goodbrey team.

A lot of people have been saying nice things about Necessary Monsters lately, so I thought I might do a quick post to round up some of the mentions we’ve been getting. First off, Richard Burton has weighed in with a lovely review of issue five of Monsters’ mini-comic incarnation at Forbidden Planet.
Elsewhere on the web, Brigid at Mostly True Tales gave us a nice little mention and we also received a shout out from our webcomic brethren at Border Crossings. With the solicitation of the Necessary Monsters trade, we’ve also been the beneficiaries of quite a few recommendations from across the Internet, three of which I’ve just cunningly linked to in this sentence.
And to finish out, here’s a little interview with me about Necessary Monsters and the upcoming tpb at ComicMonsters.com. Enjoy!

Richard Bruton has just posted his review of issues 3+4 of Monsters. Here is his closing paragraph.
For the reader it’s bloody brilliant stuff. Just as clichéd (in the best context of the word) as the first couple of issues. A cracking spy-horror thriller, full of nastiness, plenty of gore, rapid action and tremendous setpieces. Just like I’d been expecting.
Again, Goodbrey’s writing is a big draw to the book and I’m expecting him to get very successful in the US anytime soon, but Necessary Monsters is also Sean Azzopardi’s book, with his artwork, all stark black and white stuff, perfectly laid out for maximum energy and storytelling.
Sounds good to me!

Just a quick post to say that there are two prints availble for purchase your favourite Monster team. Go to Seans website for more info. Thank you! And, also many thanks for all the comments and support. The updates have been slightly flaky, mainly down to the art bot having to return to work to pay the rent. But, all will be back to normal next week

The Monster crew will be hosting a table at the MCM Expo this weekend. Swing by to have a look at the fine selection of comics we have for sale.
There is also plenty of other cool cartoonists, so it should be a very inspiring weekend.
