Picked this up on a whim because I liked the art, and man it fucking delivers. This is so good

[Edward Salinas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Again such gorgeous imagery and the reveal of who’s brain it is, delicious. Why he’s afraid of fire makes so much sense and finally seeing the monster was such a nice reveal. Absolutely beautiful.

I’m absolutely loving this series! This issue shifts focus to Fritz, offering a compelling look into his perspective on the creation of Frankenstein’s Monster and his life. The story is both familiar and fresh, drawing from the Universal Monsters legacy while carving out its own distinctive identity. The artwork is stunning in every sense, whether presented in vivid color or haunting black and white. This was another excellent installment in an already impressive series. Highly recommend!

It's October, and I wasn't going to revisit a classic? Too bad only the second issue was available for checkout.
