A bizarre butterfly store opens its doors in a small American town. Pretty, popular teenagers are mysteriously transformed into self-loathing, awkward nerds. A boy with the power to see human thoughts becomes the unwitting vessel of an ancient curse, and deep beneath the sunny sidewalks, something stirs and wakes and opens ancient eyes.
Overall, I thought the issue was pretty decent, but Im really much more interested in seeing where it goes from here with the Frankenstein monster back in the picture. I cant wait to see the confrontation between the monster and Mr. Melmoth, now that Melmoth has his new crew and a few new tricks up his sleeve, and Im REALLY looking forward to seeing the meeting of Klarion, who is used to his Grundy-style undead guys, and Frankensteins monster!
