Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) has partnered with Universal Pictures and Academy Award-winning producer/screenwriter Akiva Goldsman under his banner, Weed Road, to develop Monster High, a live-action theatrical film featuring an original story based on the popular fashion dolls imagined as the children of legendary monsters.

First introduced in 2010, Monster High immediately became a beloved expansive universe rich with inclusive storytelling and doll play, fostering a fandom that spans generations. The brand continues to encourage fans of all ages to embrace their authentic selves and what makes them unique.

Robbie Brenner, President of Mattel Films, said: “Monster High helps fans discover the great beauty in being true to yourself and celebrates the unique sensibilities at the core of who we are as individuals. We’re proud to partner with Universal Pictures and the brilliant Akiva Goldsman to usher this important message to audiences worldwide.”

Goldsman, who is also a producer on Mattel Films’ Major Matt Mason starring Tom Hanks, added: “I’ve been fascinated by Monster High since my daughters were obsessed with the dolls as kids. I’m thrilled to once again join forces with Robbie Brenner and our friends at Mattel to help bring this iconic property to life.”

Goldsman is the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of A Beautiful Mind, whose critically acclaimed projects range from creator of The Crowded Room, showrunner of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and screenwriter of Cinderella Man, to producer of several films in the blockbuster Paranormal Activity franchise and the upcoming sequels to Constantine and I Am Legend.

Producers of Monster High are Robbie Brenner and Akiva Goldsman. Overseeing the project are Kevin McKeon and Arturo Thur De Koos for Mattel and Greg Lessans for Weed Road. Universal Pictures’ SVP of Production Lexi Barta and Creative Executive of Production Development Jacqueline Garell are overseeing the project for the Studio.

Mattel Film’s vision is to collaborate with leading filmmakers to make standout quality movies based on our iconic brands that will resonate in culture and appeal to global audiences. In addition to Monster High, Mattel Films has feature films in development for iconic IP including American Girl, Barney, Hot Wheels, Bob the Builder, Magic 8 Ball, Major Matt Mason, Masters of the Universe, Matchbox Polly Pocket, Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, Thomas & Friends, UNO, View-Master, and Wishbone.

This past summer during May 6th's annual FREE Comic Book Day event across the U.S. several comic books were handed out as "freebies". One of which was one by Mattel's brand Monster High, releasing Issue 0 by author Abby Denson and illustrator Arianna Florean.

The comic was published by Titan Comics, and titled "Mad Science Fair", it's story line as follows;

"It's time for a school competition, and all of the ghoulfriends are excited about showing off their talents! But Clawdeen finds it challenging and runs away! Can her friends find Clawdeen and help her out? And who will win the competition?"

So then what happened to the comic series that was suppose to come from this issue 0 comic? Well nothing happened according to the author Abby Denson, when asked by myself (Natalie Perez via social media) she responded with 

"Hi Natalie, I'm not sure if they will make more. I hope so! Thanks for asking. :)"


That apparently answers the reasoning to why no more issues of the Monster High comic have been released since the May 6th issue. All current issues of this comic are available online but most sources have it sold out or high in prince with the pricing, taxes, and shipping and handling fee's etc.

If you are one to have one handy, hold onto it, it may become valuable maybe. Or perhaps it will develop into a full fledged series someday.
