I have seen it heralded as the Ultimate-Comic-Book-Fan-Fear, where a favourite book is cancelled or treasured personnel shifted around to work on other titles. I’ve also seen it heralded as the Ultimate-Comic-Book-Company-Marketing-Tactic and in light of recent high profile cancellations from Marvel (Generation Hope, Daken etc) I think DC fans got off lightly by comparison. This somewhat sweeping statement makes reference to DC’s recent switching around of writers on JLDark, Stormwatch and Frankenstein, which was so unexpected we had to get in touch with Lemire, Milligan and Janin to ascertain exactly had had gone on and what we could expect from the changes.

Despite my usual preference for monsters of all shapes and sizes I gave the Frankenstein Flashpoint tie-in a wide berth – Lemire was not a writer I was familiar with and I doubted that it would fit in to the overall story in an important way. Some pals who had read it agreed with my impression and so it was forgotten.
