The first two issues of The Monster and the Wolf revealed how each came to be in their current state as Frankenstein’s monster and a werewolf. Issue three picks up at the end of the book’s debut when the Monster finally caught up with the Wolf in the cold desolate landscape of Antarctica.  

This chapter by Mark Spears is a text-free story called “Silence” set outside of the compound in the unforgiving, never-ending snow. As the two predators engage each other in battle, a strike team arrives and joins the fray.  

Having no dialogue made this issue go by very quickly – which is a bit of a disappointment considering the cover price. But, the art is so precise and descriptive that you can practically hear the wind whistle and the snow land.  

Nearly everything is in shades of blue or white and some black, setting the scene for the frigid, isolated location. The only pops of other color are from the disarming yellow eyes of the title characters and the splashes of red when things get bloody. The action is well defined, and even though the characters don’t speak, they clearly communicate with each other.
