For those unfamiliar with Shelley’s novel, this issue will explore the source of the Frankenstein Creature’s self-loathing. Frankenstein has a darkness in him, and I’m not talking about a brooding melancholy. It shows where his reluctance to fight has come from. The 1956 version of the Frankenstein Creature has been broken, not just by the way he’s been treated and hunted, but by the things he’s done when lashing out at a world that had scorned him.
He was once much more verbose and angrier. It shows how he was once very different from how he is now.
It won’t be a surprise to anyone familiar with Mary Shelley’s original novel, but it does cast the character in a different light. Again, this issue delves deep into history, so for someone like me this was all fascinating stuff.įinally, there’s the Frankenstein Creature’s history too. There’s a bit more about the Brotherhood, but its real focus is on the previous inhabitants of the underground Hyperborean city, exploring the history of King Thoth, the spread of the Hyperborean Empire, different masters of Vril, including priests of the Black Goddess. They were also a part of the Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra, and last month’s issue took this opportunity to explore this secret society more than I think Mignola’s books have before.Įven more than the last issue, this one is wrapped up in history and the backstory of its characters.
