Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #10

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #10 kicks off "Son of Satan's Ring" with a cover that wastes no time setting a menacing tone — Frankenstein is shown upended and seemingly overwhelmed, his stitched green body dangling helplessly as massive, multi-limbed insectoid creatures with glowing orange eyes loom over him, their spindly legs encircling their prey. The single word "INFESTED!" blazed across the top says it all, and the cover art by Alberto Ponticelli with inks by Wayne Faucher delivers that threat with visceral, kinetic energy. If you've been following this wild corner of the New 52, this issue promises the kind of gloriously strange monster-versus-monster action the series does so well.
