HEY ALL ITS MONDAY

Good afternoon all , I know its only Monday but I hope you are all doing well  So question for you what do you do if your all time favourite horror author does a graphic novel . Well after you stop your happy dance around the house , you go and start to buy the whole damn series . Well I will admit that's what happened to me this weekend . When I was cruising net galley and found out my favourite author Dean Koontz has done a remake of FRANKENSTEIN in graphic novel form . So let me introduce you to FRANKENSTEIN STORM SURGE by Dean Koontz, Chuck Dixon and Rik Hoskin.

                             BOOK BLURB

From the celebrated imagination of Dean Koontz comes a powerful reworking of one of the classic stories of all time! Dynamite Entertainment proudly presents an all-new, in-continuity story set within the universe of Dean Koontz's Frankenstein novel series. While healing from a beating she suffered at the hands of Victor Helios (the madman once known as Dr. Frankenstein and her own maker), Erika Five decides to leave the comfort of her glassed-in porch and bottle of cognac to explore Victor's secret home lab, which she believes is an antechamber to something more sinister. With the help of a decapitated head named Karloff, Erika finds a secret lab and within discovers that Victor's experiments are not limited to his attempts at creating a race of super-immortals. No, he has constructed a mirror-like portal to another universe... one of infinite realities that Victor is trying to bridge for his own horrible reasons! 

                             MY REVIEW
      Where can you have an evil scientist , a damsel in distress, a pack of zombies and a monster that is more sexy then scary . Well let me introduce you to Frankenstein a great reworking in graphic novel form.  After suffering a beating Erika  five and after finding the ante chamber of the infamous  Dr Frankenstein and the evils that is processes . Will she survive or will the evils take her and hurt her .
  This is a dark moody set of stories , I must say I really loved this book . Some stories a little bit more then others but over all the stories were so good. The illustrations are dark and well drawn which sets it apart from most graphic novels now a days . Seems like they went the retro way with them.  The characters are also well written and complex you will like Frankenstein cause he is actually really hot looking hehehehe  and there  are zombies in this retelling and a talking head named Karloff who helps Erika.
   So if you want to read a great reworking of  Frankenstein as Frankenstein as the hero and alternative universes check out this set of novels . You will love the story line and the graphics are to die for .  If you are into graphic novels and love a good horror story, check it out . You won't be disappointed .
