I opened The Wolf Man before writing this review, but he comes on a similar card to Frankenstein, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and others (I preferred the promotional image to the released one, though, and ended up discarding it Pack rat that I am, I am saving the other cardbacks) The figures themselves[...]

We've been getting an idea of what Roberto Orci is up to since the split, but what is his former partner doing? Alex Kurtzman and writer Chris Morgan have been tapped to reboot Universal's classic monster movie franchises according to deadline.com. Before the Fast and the Furious, Jurassic Park and the Bourne franchises became what Universal[...]

Writer Dave Elliot (of A1 Comics) has been percolating this idea for a long while, and the basic premise is that Alice of Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland, age 18, moves in a world replete with the characters of many of our favorite turn of the century fantasy books from the Island of Doctor Moreau[...]

Spoilers just in case I come anywhere near close… Specifically that Frankenstein in the future would be working for OMAC and would have Black Canary's face grafted to his chest doing the cry. This is my sorry attempt… It's all about faces. We ran the Joker's Mask from the upcoming Death Of The Family box set earlier today..[...]

Frankenstein, currently appearing in the DC New 52 in Justice League Dark is going to be making a central appearance in the upcoming Future's End weekly comic. But before that, in May, it seems that he will be joining Peter Tomasi's Batman And… series, giving us Batman And Frankenstein. I mean, you kind of had a Batman[...]

And it's a super-monster team-up special… The Frankenstein Monster and Jack The Ripper. In Monster & Madman a lost soul, Frankenstein's monster seeks refuge from his waking life but finds no comfort in the bitter harshness of his surroundings He sets out to free himself from his lonely isolation and during this journey he finds himself at[...]

As Amanda's partner points out.. And today's Frankenstein: Agent Of S.H.A.D.E is cover credited to Jeff Lemire in print… but to the actual writer Matt Kindt in promotional material… Come on DC credit people, get a grip! Although it's Marvel who seem to have an issue spelling "mimicking" I know, I know, mote and beam, mote and beam… [...]

Rather than simply relying on sales figures, which never tell the full picture, we ask retailers what is, and what isn't, moving for them, and here's what they had to report this week, on some of December 14's new releases. This past week saw three of the lesser-hyped New 52 titles – Demon Knights, Grifter, and[...]

And now they have a whole lot more chaff to play with. Has Suicide Squad broken me? Do I care? Also don't look for too much hidden meaning in Frankenstein, Agent Of S.H.A.D.E., it plots like a Moorcock novel, it plays like a resource managing FPS game, its pop culture references are Claremont X-Men and it's lightly[...]

Kill Hal Jordan off again, you can take the HEAT. In Frankenstein, Agent Of S.H.A.D.E #3 they fight an entire planet Hellboy and the BPRD never did that Alberto Pontecelli portrays this in a gloriously sketchy, messy style which, while using about as much ink as Mike Mignola, is a world away[...]

And it lives up to its promise. Frankenstein Agent Of SHADE #1 by Jeff Lemire and Alberto Ponticelli feels very much like mid Grant Morrison Doom Patrol. We have a lot of Cliff in Frankenstein, also the Hellboy role, a very literal "grunt", a fantastical blue collar monster moaning about the job but doing his duty and[...]

Courtesy of DC Comics come three previews to this week's DC relaunch titles, Grifter #1 by Nathan Edmonson and CAFU from iFanboy, Red Lanterns #1 by Peter Milligan and Ed Benes from IGN, and Frankenstein: Agent Of SHADE #1 by Jeff Lemire and Alberto Pontichelli from USA Today [...]

Looking at the preview art there are however a myriad of cameos of characters in other people's books. Such as Ray Palmer, appearing in Frankenstein, according to Dan DiDio at Fan Expo Canada moderating the Jeff Lemire spotlight panel, which Jeff almost didn't make it to, after being stuck in traffic. But the pair also took the[...]
