“Werewolf Frankenstein”
The Monster of Frankenstein has suffered significantly since his resurrection through modern science. He had been feared and hated by all of mankind. There would also be no acceptance from those born in the realm of the supernatural. The Monster would walk the earth with no purpose or sanctuary. That was until his battle with lycanthropes.
It was in the early years of his rebirth when Frankenstein’s Monster was attacked by werewolves in the snowy despot of the Transylvanian Alps. The battle was fierce. However, the strength of Frankenstein’s Monster proved too much even for the savage Wolfmen. The Monster had prevailed, but not before suffering a bite from the cursed beast. Now the abomination was complete. He was neither living nor undead. The Monster had become Werewolf Frankenstein.
Will the Monster be able to find a cure for lycanthropy before it overtakes his human sensibilities? Did Victor’s research survive the fires of Castle Frankenstein? Who is Doctor Espinosa? Buy the book to find out!
Reviewer Notes
This is an interesting take on the classic Universal Monsters created by greats such as Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker. Zombie Love Studios brings us the next iteration of the creatures. In that, writer Chris Robinson and artist Marc Yarza combined the most popular features of each monster to make hybrid villains. I won’t spoil the surprises. If you are a fan of classic horror movies, you might want to check this Kickstarter-funded comic book series out for yourself.
Even though the writing and art are solid, I was confused by a few things here. Are the monsters here truly the same as those in the books and movies? It seems like they are, but Chris Robinson is a bit vague about the names. Was this intentional, or is he assuming everyone knows the characters? Also, some of the science seems ascue with real world timelines. Nonetheless, Werewolf Frankenstein is solid entertainment for horror comic book fans. I truly hope Zombie Love Studios continues to publish their stories. I give this book a solid three out of five stars.
