Hi everyone,
As we continue to get the Monsterverse Declassified story ready for print, we have a new update:
Tiamat Story Art Preview Being Distributed!
We're pleased to share with you all a first look at some of the story art to be featured in the Tiamat story from Monsterverse Declassified. This is being distributed currently to all backers who have the book in their order in either physical or digital format!

The Bucket Brigade is the first collected volume of The Weekly Roll, a four-panel TTRPG-webcomic that follows the titular Bucket Brigade, an adventuring party of a paladin war criminal who tries to keep the party in line, a mushroom-addicted sorcerer and his murderous fighter girlfriend, and a Warlock with an old testament angel patron and a libertarian necromancer wanted for tax evasion. The series follows the party’s adventures as they walk the fine line that most adventuring parties tow: wandering heroes saving the realms from monsters and horrors beyond mortal ken and just being a bunch of homeless vagrant psychopaths with low impulse control with a ridiculous amount of unchecked power.
Join Average Girl on a rollercoaster ride through years of bad luck, laughter, and cringe-worthy moments! This book gathers the most hilarious and memorable comic strips from the beloved webcomic in one, perfect edition, with some comics that have yet to be released to the public!
You'll laugh until you cry reliving our imperfect heroine's iconic moments. But it's not all laughs: beneath the comedic surface lies a story of personal growth. Discover how Average Girl learned to embrace herself, flaws and all.
With a unique mix of humor and heart, this collection is a tribute to resilience, spontaneity, and the beauty of failures that we all experience in our everyday life. Get ready to laugh, cringe, and fall in love with Average Adventures of an Average Girl all over again!
Declassified Production Update + Abaddon Story Art Preview Being Distributed

Dear Monsterverse Backers,
I hope those of you who order GXK: The Hunted received and enjoyed the book. We are hard at work on Declassified, which is our coming out party for four fan-favorite Titans: DOUG, BEHEMOTH, TIAMAT, and ABADDON (who only recently was unveiled in the larger canon as being part of the new Legendary Playstation video game, KONG: SURVIVOR INSTINCT. Check out the trailer if you haven’t!).
Unfortunately, due to the lengthy development process of the stories, the art production on DECLASSIFIED fell a bit behind schedule, so it will be shipping to you early in 2025.
We appreciate your patience and will be updating with further visuals from each story, and the collector’s box, as they are finalized.
Thanks for your continued support of Monsterverse publishing!
- Robert Napton, SVP & Publisher, Legendary Comics.
