Necessary Monsters will shortly be jumping across the pond to attend Comic Con International in San Diego. You’ll be able to find us (meaning Daniel, who for some reason is writing this in the third person plural) at booth number 2001 with the rest of the AiT/PlanetLar crowd. We’ll have copies of the chapter one ashcan for sale as well as preview artwork and script from chapters two and three to take a look at. Daniel will even be on hand to sign things (comics, limbs, etc.) at the times given here.

And speaking of Daniel, you might also like to check out his recent interview at The Comics Reporter in which he reveals some of the secrets behind Necessary Monster’s creation. Illuminating!

Hey look, comics! Necessary Monsters will now be updating regularly every Monday and Wednesday with a new page of our ongoing spy-horror saga. And to get the ball rolling we’ve gone and uploaded the first four pages of the story to give you all a little extra to chew on.

Still want more? How about a chance to read the whole of chapter one before anyone else on the web? Daniel Merlin Goodbrey and Sean Azzopardi will be on hand this Saturday at the No Barcodes comic festival in Camden Lock and with them will be copies of the exclusive Necessary Monsters mini-comic. Handing them £1.50 of your earth money will be all that is required to secure yourself what someone somewhere will surely one day describe as “a must have collectors item!” Dare you take the risk of not being in London this Saturday to secure yourself a copy? Dare you!? YOU DARE NOT!

Welcome to the still very shaky around the edges website for Necessary Monsters. We’re announcing our presence to the world officially this weekend at the Bristol International Comic Expo, so we figured it’d be kind of a good idea to get our website up at the same time.

Expect to see lots more content start to appear here in the coming weeks, followed by *gasp* an actual weekly comic serial in the not too distant future. Pulp spy horror comic weirdness! Lets go!
