Universal Monsters: Frankenstein #2

While it's quite clear that this is going to be a limited series, walls could theoretically continue this on for quite some time. There are so many aspects of the story that the Universal picture just didn't have a chance to explore. It would be really interesting to see a full and exhausted exploration that could run decades with the way Walsh is putting things together. Sadly, he only has a limited space in which to explore the nature of the monster. And it's really cool that he's going to be able to do so with the kind of thought, poise, and pacing that he managed in the first couple of issues. Read Full Review

Frankenstein #2 is more than creating a monster; it builds the characters we often forget exist in this story. The subtle lines and hints do so much to make the world we are playing in you care more about their stories than you do the monster. I am extremely intrigued to see where this story finishes I have no doubt the final two issues will be just as good as the road so far. Read Full Review

Walsh perfectly captures the dark and compelling imagery necessary for this story. I loved the visual style of every moment especially with Fritz and the monster. Read Full Review

UNIVERSAL MONSTERS: FRANKENSTEIN #2 builds and improves on issue #1 by providing backstory on key points to the film that make Universal's classic horror tale richer. Michael Walsh, despite some oddities in the scene progression, nails the concept for the strongest Universal Monsters adaptation yet from Skybound. Read Full Review

Even more human elements are doing wonders for this old monster. Read Full Review

Over all though, it's a solid story and it will be interesting to see where it goes next. Read Full Review

Another good issue. The best of the Universal Studios monsters titles thus far. This one is told from the point of view of Igor, I mean Fritz. I'm not sure why the writer swapped Henry and Victor's names. Everyone knows that Victor is the doctor. This one attempts to explain the monster's aversion to fire.

It feels a little choppy in its structure, but it finished with a great scene and the art throughout was fire.

Why is the monster afraid of fire? Here's your answer. Other than that one cool thing, this felt rushed and nowhere near the emotional ride issue 1 was.

The first part of this issue felt rushed and all over the place. Dialogue was poor and nowhere near the level of issue 1. I for one am getting tired of excellent issue 1's leading to rushed and sloppy middle ground comics. I'm sorry but a whole lot of recent Image Comics are suffer from this.......JM
