COMMON FOE Returns — Reborn on GlobalComix with New Firepower!
August 4, 2025 — Monster Forge Productions is proud to announce the chilling rerelease of the underground horror cult hit COMMON FOE, now terrifying a new generation of readers exclusively online at GlobalComix.
Written by legendary comic minds Keith Giffen (Lobo, Justice League) and Shannon Eric Denton (X-Men, Batman), with visceral, shadow-drenched artwork from JJ Dzialowski and Frederico Dallocchio, COMMON FOE plunges readers into a hellish nightmare set during one of the darkest chapters of human history—World War II’s Battle of the Bulge.
Originally published by Image Comics, COMMON FOE asks: What happens when man’s greatest evil collides with something far more monstrous?
A battle-weary squad of American soldiers. A ruthless German platoon. Natural enemies locked in a savage clash amid snow, steel, and blood. But when an ancient, inhuman force awakens from beneath the frostbitten soil, these two bitter foes must unite or die screaming in the snow.
“With Common Foe, Denton and Giffen have taken the war comic and given it the best twist I’ve seen in a few decades. Highly enjoyable and gripping stuff.”
— Ed Brubaker (Criminal, Captain America)
“…the combination of classic horror and smash-mouth war comics never fails to deliver. Bravo!”
— Phil Hester (Green Arrow, The Coffin)
“An inspiring genre mash-up. When it begins, you think you’re reading an excellent hard-boiled war comic, then the floor drops out from beneath you and you realize that the term ‘horrors of war’ has shadings that most of us have never considered.”
— Dwayne McDuffie (Static Shock, Justice League Unlimited)
“A war comic with a twist. Visceral and guttural. This team provides a great slow burn tale that eventually explodes in a glorious orgy of vampire violence.”
— Joe Casey (Ben 10, Godland)
Featuring a haunting cover by Esad Ribić (Thor: God of Thunder, Secret Wars) and an exclusive foreword from horror icon Steve Niles (30 Days of Night), this rerelease is more than a return—it's a resurrection.
"Survive the night… or feed what’s coming."
COMMON FOE is now available digitally via GlobalComix, remastered and more terrifying than ever.
