Way back in the 1970’s, there was something of a horror renaissance going on in the comic book world. First, you had legends like Bernie Wrightson creating things like Swamp Thing for DC, and second, you had a veritable gold mine of public domain critters ripe for plunder, like Dracula and Frankenstein.
This stuff was also heavily influenced by the early heavy metal and rock scenes that were taking hold in popular culture, so you get guys like Frankenstein rocking the blue jeans and furry vests!
I was a little too young to read a lot of this stuff, and preferred my comics soundly focused on peeps in tights punching each other and worrying about their aged relatives. But, as I got older, I fell in love with all of it, from the EC black and white anthologies to the pure schlock of Marvel’s monsters.
I really love the look of this Frankenstein from Marvel Crisis Protocol, and he’s a solid kick-off to my Midnight Sons faction!
I also got to spend some time reading up on improving my photography skills while in the hospital, so I’m excited to share some improved pics! I was never happy with how my pictures turned out, so seeing them nice and vibrant like this is making me happy for sure!

This is a really nice looking mini. I like the colors you chose as they’re a bit different than what a lot of people use on their models. For me, the skin is the best part as it highlights that Frankie is undead! Glad to hear you feel like you’re improving your photography skills too. It is a tricky part of this hobby and something I’m always trying to get better at too.

Very cool indeed, especially what you’ve done with the big chap’s skin. I enjoyed the little history too.
Adam is quite rough to play in MCP as he has so much cool stuff he can do with power and so little way to get it. I’ve never had a lot of success with him but using him on the Infinity Formula Goes Missing crisis is a good home for him as he can charge back and forth between the near and far Secures and enjoy actually having enough power to do so for once.

Thank you! I feel like I am just painting what looks cool, which makes gaming actually silly when I get around to it! Cool looking minis aren’t necessarily competitive!
