movie. They all just go on with their lives, go about their jobs, do their jobs, and do nothing wrong.
There’s nothing wrong with that. Well, apart from the underworld crooks and gangsters of Los Monstros.

I noticed that. There, Perry ventures into danger as he searches for answers and uncovers dark secrets about his past as a cop with the Los Monstros Police Department.

It will take his skills as a detective and a werewolf to make it happen. There is no doubt that all of your manly abilities will be needed.
Author James Robinson said of writing this work:
“Writing the first chapter of Los Monstros was a great experience for me. First, I got to work with my co-creator Jesus Merino, whose amazing art for this series is a sight to behold. He’s a great person to watch and a lot of fun to collaborate with and exchange ideas with. And the series itself has completely captivated me too. This is just the beginning, with “City of Monsters”. I promise there are many more stories to be told.

Monster. Lots of monsters. James Robinson and Jesús Merino bring you a surreal story.

A surprising comforting warmth that defies the genres being mixed together here. ” — J.H.

Even if you read a Universal Monsters book, it probably won’t be as interesting as this one. Robinsons

It makes sense and feels completely natural in his and Merino’s hands. ” — B. Clay
