Monster War

A collaboration between Top Cow and Dynamite Entertainment, 2005’s Monster War was a four-art series that saw four of Top Cow’s flagship female heroes going up against a team of classic monsters.

The story teams Magdalena, Witchblade, the Darkness and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider together against the dark forces of Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, the Wolf Men and Mr. Hyde.

In spite of the usually reliable classic monsters present, monster fans will be disappointed with this one, as they are extremely disappointing. Surprisingly – even more surprising than the fact this weird crossover exists in the first place – this story just seems like an excuse to showcase the scantily clad female heroes and it suffers significantly in terms of its plot as a result.
