The storytelling and artwork are fantastic brining a new twist to a classic tale.

This is still only the beginning of the series, but its a REALLY promising beginning that feels quite powerful. The scenes that are drawn more directly from the movie DO feel a bit flatter than those that were drawn specifically from Walshs dark imagination. With any luck, Walsh will have the good sense to continue to frame the classic story from the edges of marginal characters who all might have had some impact on the story as it developed. The strength of Walshs series seems to lie in the darker margins of the movie. Read Full Review

Frankenstein is one of my personal favourite characters in all creation and to Michael Walsh all I can say is take a bow Sir.....dark moody art with dialogue that jumps of the page and wrapped in a wonderful new/old script......This is the work of genius and this should be brought back to the films and I could even see this on Broadway with a fantastic musical score.......OUTSTANDING ......Comic of the year....JM

Michael Walsh knocked it out of the park. This is perfect blend of story telling and art. Can't wait for issue #2.

It follows the film somewhat closely, though his fiance and the other scientists never made an appearance and I still don't understand why they were there. It does add another layer with the young boy. I rather like this addition to the lore. The artwork is decent, especially in the 2-page splash. Looking forward to seeing how this goes.

I liked the art. I think it told the story it needed to tell, but it wasn't anything extraordinary to me.

It was better than average, but it wasn't crazy good.
