Hello Sweetie !

Review for Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E #2.

The Story: We get Nina Mazursky backstory and the team gets to the monster planet.

The Good: Second issue in and Lemire already gives us Nina's backstory wich shows us a very twisted sense of motherhood from Nina and at the same time some set-up for the future. We get little moments of comedy between Frank and Nina when they are fighting the water monsters. Im very much liking Frank as an old timer who mistrusts all technologie because it might fail you, and thats another reason why Frank is so similar to Hellboy. Ponticelli art continues to big with these very sharp lines on the monster designs. Also for some reason im getting a River Song vibe from Bride.

The Bad: We don't get a moment with Father, Vincent, Warren and Khalis. Also it would be nice if the captions oxes would be different between character and machines talking.

The Verdict: Another fun issue for this series were we get some inscite for Nina, the art continues to be very sharp wich I like but not every character gets a moment. This is a buy.

I really liked last issue so I was hoping that this issue was just as good. I was a bit worried when I saw the Comic Vine review, however I really enjoyed this issue.  THE GOOD: A lot of people won't, but I like the art. It gives the book a special feeling and I think it works really well. I really like the characters from the last issue introduction, here we get to see a bit more up close look on one of them. I really like the feeling of the book. It's really like a monster military and I like ...
