Skybound Remasters Universal Monsters: The Mummy
The 2025 four-issue limited series returns as a black-and-white two-issue double feature ahead of Brendan Fraser's The Mummy 4.
Updated on Nov. 10, 2026 in Horror
Skybound Entertainment is republishing Universal Monsters: The Mummy as a remastered two-issue black-and-white double feature. The original four-issue limited run, created by Faith Erin Hicks, debuted in 2025.
Why it matters
The reissue puts the comic in stores ahead of Brendan Fraser's The Mummy 4, scheduled for October 15, 2027. It also extends Skybound's Universal Monsters comic line, of which The Mummy is the fourth installment.
The remastered edition is priced at $6.99 per issue across two black-and-white issues, half the length of the original four-issue 2025 run. Its sales performance and the print run size have not been disclosed.

Franchise Continuity
The Mummy is the fourth installment in Skybound's Universal Monsters comic line, following Dracula (2023), Creature From the Black Lagoon Lives! (2024), and Frankenstein (August 2024). The remastered reissue continues that run of revisiting Universal's classic monsters in comic form.
Readers can buy each $6.99 issue at comic book shops or digitally through Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play. The two-issue double feature offers a shorter entry point than the original four-issue run.
The takeaway
The remastered Mummy shows how Universal Monsters comics can be repackaged into shorter, cheaper editions for new readers before a major film release. Readers who missed the 2025 run now have a lower-cost way to catch up.
What happens next
The first remastered issue arrives February 24, 2027, followed by the second issue on March 24, 2027, and Brendan Fraser's The Mummy 4 on October 15, 2027.
