James Tynion IV and Star-Studded Lineup Unleash Dark Horse's "Monsters in Love" Pride Anthology

Prepare for a monstrously good romance! Dark Horse Comics is dropping "Monsters in Love: A Pride Anthology" this Wednesday, just in time for Pride Month. This 80-page special features ten swoon-worthy LGBTQIA+ romance stories, spearheaded by New York Times bestselling and Eisner-winning author James Tynion IV.
The anthology takes a fresh approach, celebrating love in all its forms through the lens of the fantastical. It's a vibrant collection where dragons date, vampires find affection, and every kind of monster discovers their soulmate. Beyond Tynion IV, the lineup boasts an impressive roster of fan-favorite LGBTQIA+ creators including Jadzia Axelrod, Vita Ayala, Zoe Tunnell, Sina Grace, Josh Trujillo, Claudia Aguirre, and Tench.
Fans of *The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos* will also recognize a familiar touch: the anthology includes a framing story from that series' creative team. This adds a clever layer of narrative continuity to the diverse tales within. At just $9.99, it’s a packed collection, offering rich storytelling and much-needed representation in a single, accessible package. This kind of anthology is more than just comics; it’s a powerful affirmation for readers seeking themselves in their favorite stories.
