500 years after the end of Mary Shelley’s novel, the arctic thaws and the Beast awakens to a bombed-out post-apocalypse as hideous and hostile as he is. Seeing an opportunity to reinvent himself and live the peaceful life he always wanted, the Beast attempts to live simply with villagers who are unafraid of his ghastly appearance. But when soldiers come to collect their due, violence is his only answer, and his dream of a simple life is ripped away in a nightmare of his own design. Having followed his war path to its bloody conclusion, the Beast was exiled to the stars, his legacy tarnished, his family flayed before his eyes. For thirty years, the world has known an uneasy peace. But the Beast never stopped fighting for control and now, on the dawn of the 200th year, the sky explodes and the Beast, bathed in the cosmic blood of stars and comets and bearing his creator’s damnable name, has returned. God help anyone who stands in his way. That undead behemoth, that living abomination, that son of man — Frankenstein. Frankenstein the Unconquered is written by Wells Thompson and Dalton K. Shannon, illustrated by Mary Landro and Elisabeth Mkhedzie, colored by Dahlia Maha, lettered by Nathan Kempf, designed by Brenda Snell, and cover by Heather Vaughan.
