Posted on May 15, 2012 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Jeff Lemire (story), Alberto Ponticelli (pencils), Wayne Faucher (inks), Jose Villarrubia (colors) The Story: Undead versus the undead—sounds like a nice break for the living to me. The Review: While this week’s issues of Batgirl and Batman and Robin demonstrated the bigger scale tie-ins to major Events, there are, of course, smaller, less intrusive [...]

Posted on April 16, 2012 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Jeff Lemire (writer), Alberto Ponticelli (penciller), Walden Wong (inker), Jose Villarrubia (colorist) The Story: Frank and Bride learn good parenting sometimes means tough love (read: violence). The Review: As a pure sci-fi adventure series, Frankenstein doesn’t seem all that interested in laying down big plotlines that build up over half a dozen issues then [...]

Posted on March 19, 2012 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Jeff Lemire (writer), Alberto Ponticelli (penciller), Walden Wong (inker), Jose Villarrubia (colorist) The Story: Someone needs to teach these humanids a thing or two about labor unions. The Review: Someone—I don’t remember who—made a point about this some months back, when Justice League #3 came out. In that issue, there’s a scene where Superman, [...]

Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #6 – Review

Posted on February 5, 2012 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Jeff Lemire (writer), Alberto Ponticelli (artist), Jose Villarrubia (colorist) The Story: Take it easy on Frank—back when he was in ‘Nam, he saw some things. The Review: I think it’s safe to say that, at least in fiction, all golems come to call their own shots in the end. If nothing else, Frankenstein teaches [...]

Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #5 – Review

Posted on January 15, 2012 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Jeff Lemire (writer), Alberto Ponticelli (artist), Jose Villarrubia (colorist) The Story: Man-made monster versus monster made of man! That might not have made sense! The Review: I’ll be honest; I made a strict, conscious choice to avoid O.M.A.C. from the moment it was announced. My reasoning, perhaps unfair, was the idea of Dan Didio [...]

Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #4 – Review

Posted on December 19, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Jeff Lemire (writer), Alberto Ponticelli (artist), Jose Villarrubia (colorist) The Story: Frank, don’t you think you’re getting too old for this sh—stuff. I meant “stuff.” The Review: Frankenstein proves that there’s something to be said for a comic that sets out purely to entertain, and in these trying times, pure entertainment is invaluable. The [...]

Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #1 – Review

Posted on September 14, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Jeff Lemire (writer), Alberto Ponticelli (artist), Jose Villarrubia (colorist) The Story: Oh, the humanity! Figuratively speaking. The Review: Despite getting his own mini under Grant Morrison’s ambitious Seven Soldiers series, Frankenstein remained, like that series, a very niche property. He doesn’t exactly lend himself to all kinds of stories the way other characters can. [...]
