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 [...]

Posted on November 12, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Jeff Lemire (writer), Alberto Ponticelli (artist), Jose Villarrubia (colorist) The Story: Six crazy monsters versus a planet of demon-aliens. Piece o’ cake.

Posted on October 14, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Jeff Lemire (writer), Alberto Ponticelli (artist), Jose Villarrubia (colorist) The Story: Now you know why I never go swimming in natural bodies of water.

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. [...]

By: Jeff Lemire (writer), Ibraim Roberson & Alex Massacci (artists), Pete Pantazis (colorist) The Story: You grew up in a swamp? You really are from the sticks, aren’t you?
