Frankenstein: Lemire's run

I have not bothered to count it, but I feel like Jeff Lemire is most prolific Frankenstein's writer. He wrote a mini, an ongoing and later did use Frankenstein in his various other books. In this blog post I'll be covering his solo adventures, while stuff like Justice League Dark (or Futures End if we ever get to that!) might warrant a separate post entirely. Lemire started writing Frankenstein during Flashpoint event. Frank got his own mini and was paired up with other universal movies inspired monsters. This pairing makes sense and I wonder why previous versions of Creature Commandos did not include some version of Frankenstein*? Anyway, this miniseries is often praised as one of the good things that came out during Flashpoint event and... it probably says a lot about overall quality of Flashpoint event? Frankenstein's mini is not well plotted or well written, artist changes every issue so art direction is all over the place as well and it ends just as it starts going. On
