This month's Humble Bundle was rather heavy on Frankenstein retellings. Dean Koontz, he played a part in Monster's Ball, and this. It's a modern day love story, but also uses Frankenstein's monster as a central character. The thing is that the most compelling aspect is the love story, the a...

I wish I could give this 4 1/2 stars. I liked it enough to consider it among my favorites, but I wasn't quite ready to give it a perfect rating. While the story was really cool, and the noir feel was definitely very accurate compared to a lot of the Marvel Noir comics I've been reading, I couldn't q...
