ENTER THE DEPTHS WITH ATLANTEAN — A STANDALONE COSMIC HORROR GRAPHIC NOVELLA LAUNCHING ON ZOOP THIS WEEK: "This week on Zoop, prepare to descend into the dark heart of the earth with ATLANTEAN, a haunting new standalone graphic novella written by acclaimed comics veteran Shannon Eric Denton (X-Men, Avengers) and illustrated by horror maestro Mike Dubisch (Orgy of the Blood Freaks, Dungeons & Dragons).
Rendered in surreal, nightmarish detail, Atlantean is a fever dream of cosmic horror, plunging readers into a subterranean abyss where drowned gods stir and ancient evils seep into flesh and mind alike.
When a mining dump truck operator returns to the job site with his girlfriend and best friend, they find the crew… changed. His coworkers have accidentally unleashed something buried deep — something that infects, transforms, and hungers. As the mine collapses into a living hell, the trio must navigate a grotesque labyrinth of shifting tunnels, mutated workers, and awakening deities that defy comprehension.
“Atlantean is body horror, cosmic dread, and psychological unraveling all wrapped into one suffocating descent,” says Denton. “Mike Dubisch brings this vision to life in the most disturbingly beautiful way imaginable.”
Atlantean stands on its own as a singular experience within the larger Monster Forge universe (including Hunters and Forge of Monsters) — but no knowledge of those stories is needed to be consumed by its terrifying tale.
Some secrets should stay unearthed. This one refuses.
Back ATLANTEAN now on Zoop, and take the plunge into the deep end of horror."

MONSTER FORGE: HUNTERS — A COSMIC HORROR PREQUEL SET TO DEBUT ON ZOOP THIS WEEK: "Prepare to unearth the terrifying beginnings of the Monster Forge universe. HUNTERS, a gripping new prequel graphic novel written by acclaimed storyteller Shannon Eric Denton (X-Men, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes) and illustrated by the legendary E.J. Su (Transformers, Tech Jacket), is launching this week on Zoop — the premier destination for crowdfunded comics.
Set during the construction of the first transcontinental railroad, Hunters plunges readers into the brutal lives of a crew of immigrant laborers who, while carving their way through the American West, awaken a long-buried cosmic horror. Faced with the unimaginable, this unlikely band must make an impossible choice: trap the monster again beneath the earth… or risk releasing an ancient terror that could consume the world.
With gritty, character-driven visuals and heart-pounding storytelling, Hunters blends historical fiction with Lovecraftian dread — setting the stage for the dark mythology behind Atlantean and Forge of Monsters, all part of the connected Monster Forge universe.
“Hunters is about more than monsters — it’s about sacrifice, survival, and what lies beneath both land and soul,” says Denton. “This story lays the foundation for everything that comes after.”
Whether you're a fan of supernatural horror, historical thrillers, or just damn good comics, Hunters delivers a visceral reading experience that grips from page one — and refuses to let go.
The hunt begins on Zoop.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of the monster’s origin.
Back HUNTERS now — before it returns to the earth… or worse, escapes it."
