So, I'm kinda surprised by many of the reviews considering this "too dark". Did they not look at the cover and read the synopsis? How could anything involving a mash-up of Frankenstein's Monster & Jack the Ripper not be dark?

I am a bit torn on the artwork as there are definitely some moments of brilliance, but much of it is muddy but it does fit well with the overall tone of the story.

This was a great pairing of storylines and a brilliant explanation for the White Chapel murders. While I do still feel sad for the Monster, he is so much less of a monster than most people and many could learn a thing or two from him.
