A brief flashback gives us the final moments of the man who would soon 'donate' his brain to the Doctor's experiments and become the monster. In the present, Fritz is threatened by Henry's old Professor and takes his frustrations out on the monster, beating it savagely. Later, after teasing the monster with a torch, it lunges forward and snaps Fritz's neck.
A lot going on this issue. The flashback to the last moments of the man who would 'give' his brain to the monster were interesting. The rest of the issue is largely centered on Fritz, as he is killed off at the end by the monster. The drama surrounding Henry, his old Professor, best friend Victor and fiancé showing up is largely playing in the background. But, if you are familiar with the events of Frankenstein either through the novel or one of the many film adaptations, you know what is going on here.
seven out of ten.
