Frankenstein Agent of Shade #11

Hasn't Franky already killed a giant sea monster by stabbing it in the eye?

During their mission into the fourth dimension in the city of Untropolis, Velcoro was confronting their target while Frankenstein was falling into the ocean where he'll supposedly die. But he doesn't die. He survives because Nina flies to catch him using the trans-dimensional jetpack that allows them to breach the barrier between dimensions without dying. They end up in an ocean back on Earth.

This is the majority of the rest of the issue.

Frank and Nina end up inside of the Leviathan because Crowly told Frank that the message she received about Frank becoming a traitor originated in the Leviathan field office. Apparently the Leviathan Field Office is an actual Leviathan. Inside of it is where the Frank whines and moans about being composed of the parts of murderers and psychopaths. I don't know why Frank acts all emo because when Nina tries to cheer him up, he tells her his only interest is finding Satan's Ring. Then get on with it, you crying lump of self-loathing!

Frank uses a device called a M.R.H.I.D.E. which is a Mentally Retarded Heavily Idiotic Dumb Expression for the Dermal Reconnaissance Hiding for Influencing Disguise Expectations. Oops, look at that! I got it wrong by calling it a M.R.H.I.D.E. because it's actually a D.R.H.I.D.E. Stupid! Maybe Kindt should go back to just quoting Byron. Anyway, the first half of this incomprehensible paragraph just means that Frank wears a disguise while going about the city inside Leviathan.
Frankenstein's Monster eventually finds some guy he can rough up to figure out what's going on inside the belly of this creature.

Long story short: Frank is going to kill the creature housing this city.

That's all, folks! Except maybe Khalis the mummy gets teleported into the Leviathan to help heal Nina since she was injured in the dimension crossing. Also, the Leviathan is actually some Wizard of Oz type guy watching everything inside the Leviathan on a wall of monitors. Well, he should be easy to kill.

Frankenstein Agent of Shade #11 Rating: -1 Ranking. It's been awhile since Frankenstein has fallen in the ranks but it can't be helped. This issue was boring. And the cover probably should have been saved for next issue. I'm getting the feeling that a lot of comic book writers think that big stories are those that involve changing the perspective on a character or organization so that good guys become bad guys and vicy versy. Now, SHADE is already a pretty gray organization at which Frank and his wife are already pissed off. So it's not a huge jump to show that SHADE is actively making the world a worse place by hiding technology that could help millions. And then SHADE is probably using that technology for themselves. So now Frank is going to turn on SHADE and kill their Leviathan, rescuing old SHADE Agents and setting them loose on the world to help humanity. Which will probably brand him as a traitor! See? Self-fulfilling prophetic warning!

That's actually not a bad story. I think I'm still a bit grumpy from Liefeld's Grifter where suddenly Niko was a traitor with no real warning except suspicion that one of them had to be. She's the worst traitor ever though. Why save Grifter's life multiple times when the whole plan is to kill the Chosen One so Helspont can rule the world? Just help kill him when he's on the ropes, you dumb cunt! But why am I bitching about this here in Frankenstein?! It's like a secret being kept from the dumb-ass Grifter fans that like Liefeld's take on the character. Shhh! Don't tell them how I really feel!
