Every year, around this time Jay releases a new edition of Monsters Twilight. These annual releases showcase a bit of the Guardian Universe that stands out for it's 'scare factor'. No supers world is complete without at least a touch of horror. Monsters Twilight 8 does a good job of adding it this year.
The premise is simple. An ancient artifact has been awakened and it's ability to raise the dead has become something of a... problem. Long dead Heroes have returned but are tainted by evil power.
As I said, it's a simple premise, but a fun one. Jay takes some standard faire and roughs it up a bit. The resurected Heroes are recognizable, yet have their own unique feel. Even the source of the trouble is interesting enough to inspire different campaigns that continue from here.
