In the wake of pre-orders opening for Shannon Eric Denton and David Hartman’s new sci-fi series Kraken, the authors are back with yet another quirky series for monster lovers around the world. Titan Comics has just announced that the two are teaming up for Spectors, a new series about two oddballs who have to join together to save the world from an evil cult threatening to rip reality apart at the seams.
Set in the same Monster Forge universe as Kraken, the synopsis for Spectors is as follows:
From the minds of Oscar-nominated Shannon Eric Denton and Emmy-nominated David Hartman comes a chilling story of a decades-long mission that spans generations of monster hunters as they combat the bumps in the night. Armed with a mystical knife and a prosthetic multi-tool-gatling-gun, Reginald and Debby are the only people stopping evil cults from breaking the barrier between realities. However, when they find a lab full of human test subjects, they realize the cults’ experiments date back to the 1930s and that Reginald’s own father was involved.
“What started as a prompt to David to design some monster hunters led to one of the most epic worldbuilding adventures of my career,” said writer Shannon Eric Denton. “Spectors has become the lynchpin of the Monster Forge universe with Kraken and everything else tied to it, while at the same time being its own unique solo story.”
The project has already received praise from numerous names in the horror space, including Oingo Boingo’s Richard Elfman, who called the comic “super cool,” and Rob Zombie, who says the series is “another amazing blast of monster-mania!”
”Spectors has been an absolute blast to work on. It started with a simple question: What characters would you draw if you could design your own team of monster hunters?” said artist David Hartman. “Shannon brought them to life —giving them personalities, backstories, and futures —all while they unravel a mystery tied to a world-dominating secret society.”
Spectors goes on sale on May 12, 2026, and is available for pre-order now from all booksellers. Check out the cover down below:
