Clearly, he is trying to make us all look bad and is succeeding at every turn. Through out the years, Mignola has done exemplary work taking areas of interest and blending them into a big tapestry, filling out corners of a world along a visible timeline with methodical ease. As Mignola launches into the meat of the plot, he gives the character context and motivation with a sense of effortlessness. When Frankenstein and this young girl, Lilja, go out to explore this beautiful but dangerous new world, they also need to make sure they don’t bring the taint of the old world with them.The story begins somewhere in the middle with Frankenstein arriving at a temple in Mexico having been shot.

Humanity had their shot and blew it, and now the world has been remade. “Strangely, I don’t think of this as a post-apocalypse story at all,” Golden tells Inverse. This story may take place in a post-human civilization run by frogs, but don’t expect Mad Max with demons and monsters. “The world above has been reborn as a kind of Garden of Eden.” Defying her elders’ orders, Lilja decides to awaken the timeless oracle once called Frankenstein to investigate the dire warning and further explore the weird new surface civilization. In the center of the Earth, safely enduring her existence in a sanctuary for humanity following the cataclysmic events of Ragna Rok, young Lilja is stirred by dark visions of a new evil germinating in the world above. The plotline finds Frankenstein returning to the surface after an extended stay in the hollow Earth. I just don’t seem to be able to put a lid on this thing - which I guess is a good thing.”
