Seven Soldiers: Frankenstein

Part of Grant Morrison’s ambitious Seven Soldiers crossover, this 2006 DC miniseries reimagines Mary Shelley’s monster as a brooding, centuries-old government agent. Written by Morrison with visceral art by Doug Mahnke, the four-issue run follows Frankenstein on a bloody, supernaturally charged mission that reshapes his place in the DC Universe. It stands as a key piece of Morrison’s deconstructive epic, blending horror and superhero tropes into a darkly inventive standalone saga.
