Peter J Tomassi , Patrick Gleason, and Doug Mahnke present the Man of Steel with a different set of problems.
Who could cause such a ruckus? Good old Frankenstein of A.R.G.U.S that’s who. As Lois Lane is attending the local paper in her current hometown, things take a turn for the strange as agent Frankenstein pursues Lois’s potential boss, Superman finds himself in the middle of the conflict. Why is Agent Frankenstein after Lois’s boss? And what potential danger awaits Superman and Lois?
Writers Tomasi and Gleason are really having fun with their Superman title. Personally, I feel that readers can agree that this writing duo’s enthusiasm drives this series, and it most definitely shows within this title. It’s humorous and awesome to see how Agent Frankenstein and Superman bounce off of each other in action and personality. Seeing Lois still utilizing tech from a certain caped crusader, and using it as self-defense against her would be attacker just adds on to the fun of how well they keep track of continuity details. Both Tomasi and Gleason display Frankenstein in an awesome , intimidating yet humorous fashion that makes you think that mini-series with this writing duo could happen.
Mahnke’s art is much more sharper and razor focused in terms of detail on the characters. His page layouts continue to deliver, from the moment Frankenstein crashes onto the scene, to the moment Superman comes into conflict and gets hit accidentally by someone, it’s just fun as it is stylistically awesome to look at. He draws a very intimidating version of agent Frankenstein. Many artists have drawn Frankenstein, but very few manage to make him look as intimidating, which Mahnke pulls off with ease. Superman is starting to look a bit more and more like Henry Cavill which is actually cool. Aside from that, solid artwork with great pacing and narrative within the panels.
