The Monolith was originally published by DC Comics in 2004 – 2005. DC never collected the series, and its rights reverted to Palmiotti and Gray in 2012. They took the property to Image and had a graphic novel published in August 2012.

The story follows Alice Cohen, an ex-junkie whose grandmother leaves her a house in Brooklyn. Alice finds her grandmother’s diary and reads a tale of love lost and revenge during the Great Depression. All this led to the creation of a monster used to right the wrong of a horrible killing. And the golem still exists.
