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

Frankenstein's scarred, imposing visage dominates this striking 2011 New 52 cover by J. G. Jones, with the full Creature Commandos roster — including a green-skinned woman armed with a pistol, a mummy wielding an assault rifle, a werewolf, a small glowing-headed figure, a schoolgirl with tentacles curling around her, and a goggled creature — rising dramatically from the top of his head. It's a wonderfully strange lineup that captures the gleeful monster-squad energy Jeff Lemire and Alberto Ponticelli bring to this series. "War of the Monsters Pt. 2" promises the kind of pulpy, creature-feature thrills that make this DC title one of the more imaginative corners of the New 52.
