Frankenstein: New World #2 finally gives our heroes some friendly fauna to interact with. Even better: they're of the sapient variety, in addition to being amphibious in more meanings than one. I swear, this cover art makes the new world looks like a pizza that's been left to grow mold for too

If you strip everything else away, at the core—the soul, the center—of DreamWorks Animation’s “Forgotten Island” is the pure, unadulterated power of goddamn friendship. Potential spoilers ahead! “Forgotten Island” (written and directed by Januel Mercado and Joel Crawford) is,
