Consult this blog tells you to look into:

1. Hellboy: Makoma - First new Hellboy story since The Island Part 2...good stuff, I really enjoyed the African folklore and mythology woven into the Hellboy mythology

2. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley - I finished it yesterday...sooooo different than the cinematic or pop culture version of the Monster...Shelley's writing drove me nuts, but, when I went to SparkNotes after finishing the novel, I read more about Romantic novels of the early 19th century, and it made sense. Still, in today's craft, that book would have been cranked out in 90 pages or less.

3. Doc Frankenstein by the Wachowski Bros. - This comic book from Burlyman Entertainment (the lit house of Wach Bros.) now makes much more sense. If you read the last few chapters of Shelley's Frankenstein and then leap into Doc Frank's four issues, it sort of bridges if you use your imagination.

Now go in peace, to love and serve Mike Mignola...
