Hey, now, let me tell ya about this comic called Where Monsters Lie. Don’t worry, I’m just a regular ol’ person talkin’ here, not some fancy comic expert. This one’s a different kinda comic book, got a real strange setup, like some kinda messed-up horror story. Ya see, it’s got a twist to it that makes ya think a bit. It’s not just about the usual scary folks jumpin’ outta the woods. Nah, this one’s more like a mix of that ol’ movie “Cabin in the Woods” and “Tucker and Dale vs. Evil,” if ya ever seen them. It’s got that same kinda dark humor but with more blood, ya know?
So the fella who made this comic, Kyle Starks, well, he’s known for his other work called I Hate This Place. Seems like he’s got a knack for takin’ regular horror and twistin’ it up somethin’ fierce. And he didn’t do this all by his lonesome, neither! There’s an artist fella, Piotr Kowalski, who does the drawin’, and a color guy, Vladimir Popov, who adds all the fancy colors to it. Makes everything pop right out at ya, like BAM!
Now, lemme try to explain what this comic’s about. Basically, it’s like this place, a kinda safe haven or town, but not for us regular folk—nope, it’s where all them monsters and slashers and freaky folks go to lay low when they ain’t out huntin’ and slashin’. Picture this: all those masked killers and unkillable monsters ya see in horror flicks, they gotta go somewhere when they’re off the clock, right? And that’s where they end up in this little community, all hidin’ out and livin’ together. It’s like a neighborhood watch, only the folks on the watch are the ones ya wanna stay far away from! Funny thing, though, this place don’t look creepy at all, kinda looks like a regular ol’ community.
But it ain’t all peace and quiet. Nah, there’s drama, alright! Even monsters got beef with each other. That’s where the story kicks off. Things get real crazy when somebody finds out ’bout this place. Seems like they don’t want any outsiders pokin’ their nose in their business. From there on, it’s a mix of laughs, scares, and a whole lotta fightin’.
