Run if you can! Hide if you must! Monsters have invaded the Marvel Universe! Nothing can prepare heroes across the globe for Monsters Unleashed! But you can be prepared! To coincide with the highly anticipated release of MONSTERS UNLEASHED #1, Marvel is bringing widescreen action and epic destruction to your local comic shops with MONSTERS UNLEASHED LAUNCH PARTIES. Not only is your local comic shops the place to be on January 18th to get your hands on the oversized first issue, but you’ll also be able to get your hands on some special items exclusive to these launch parties – including the all-new Monsters Unleashed Sketchpad!

Perfect to unleash your inner artist or take to your nearest comic convention!

“Monsters Unleashed is very much a celebration of artists, from the visionary artists of yesterday who created these wondrous monsters, to the A-List talent drawing the series today” says Marvel SVP Sales & Marketing David Gabriel. “We wanted to honor that legacy with a brand-new promo item which ties into the story and characters of Monsters Unleashed in some very interesting ways. And maybe just inspire a new generation of artists.”
