Frankenstein!
There are non-comics posts below, I promise.
Remember how Seven Soldiers: Frankenstein #1 was pretty good and all, but felt a bit rushed and slight, especially since the "reading people's thought balloons" bit is just a tweaking of something Morrison already used in The Filth? I mean, it's hard not to like a comic that opens with the line, "Die, Frankenstein, die!", but it felt like there was more that could be done.
Well, let me tell you that Frankenstein #2 fulfills all the promise of #1, and more. Not only is Frakenstein on Mars riding a carnivorous Martian steed, but the book also starts to dovetail nicely with Klarion. And we really do learn the origin of Mr. Melmouth, and what exactly he's up to. And the true origin of Frankenstein, to boot. It's a damn fine time.
