The legend is real — and it's angry.
The Beast of Borikén #1 launches a five-issue True Weird series from James Tynion IV's Tiny Onion imprint at Dark Horse, written by Eisner-nominated Julio Anta (Frontera) with electric art by Daniel Irizarri (Xino). It's one of the best-reviewed debuts of the year — a 9.0 average across 11 critic reviews.
In contemporary Puerto Rico, activist Loli Flores is fighting the overdevelopment of her island — until a ground-breaking ceremony is torn apart by a supernatural force. The stories of el Chupacabra aren't folklore. They're a warning. Monster horror meets razor-sharp social commentary, plus a bonus True Weird short story by Justin Jordan, Tony Akins, and Aditya Bidikar.
