  Chuck's Comic Of The Day - Glen Davis Mar 5, 2015

  A great first issue. This is a different take on the Frankenstein Monster - the most unusual that I've seen in a long time. Nolan's art is excellent. There's a promise of appearances by most, if not all, of the Universal Monsters sooner or later. Read Full Review

  Horror DNA - James Ferguson Mar 6, 2015

  Joe Frankenstein is a great blend of genres, mixing adventure with horror without losing any of the fun and excitement. The main character has had a ho-hum life so far but in one night it's completely turned upside down. Things are only going to get more interesting from here. Plus, how cool is that name? It sounds like an action movie star. Read Full Review

  Front Towards Gamer - Lido Mar 10, 2015

  Finally, Joe Frankenstein marinates in this super fun and breezy layer of retro joy that is far too hard to come by in modern comics. It doesn't feel like a throwback, rather a great story that revels in the styles of the past and magnetize on them to create something so overjoyed with the chance to exist. It's a downright infectious comic impossible to read without smiling. Read Full Review

  Rhymes With Geek - J. Reifler Dec 31, 1969

  There are a lot of vampire and monster books vying for your dollars and it will be a shame if this gets lost in the shuffle.Ultimatelythis was a fun read but I'm not quite sure if it will find an audience. I enjoyed myself but I'm not sure the averagereader is in the mood for a horror themed comicthat isn't dark or gory. Bloody and disgusting seems to be the popular trend at the major publishers and this is pretty tame even for IDW's line. There are a lot of vampire and monster books vying for your dollars and it will be a shame if this gets lost in the shuffle. I'll stick around for a few issues to see where things go. If you like Chuck Dixon and Gregory Wright take a look at this title. These are master storytellers enjoying themselves and as a respectful admirer of their creative legacies I say give this book a chance. Read Full Review

  Comic Book Resources - Doug Zawisza Mar 2, 2015

  By the end of "Joe Frankenstein" #1, buying a break is the least of his worries and the last of the readers' interests as the mysterious foe sets things in motion against Joe and his monstrous protector. A solid start to the series, "Joe Frankenstein" #1 gives readers a wink and a nod as though promising more intrigue, action and shadowy suspense with an unspoken guarantee. Read Full Review
