Well, we’re back after a brief break, and since it’s been a little while I’ll provide you with a brief recap. While going on a shopping excursion to the local comic shop with his youngest son, Mike and Lucas make some unsettling discoveries. A tentacle monster assults them in the bathroom, they have a conversation with a floating eye named Phil, the comic store owner, Pat, explains this away by telling them he is the god of fiction and as such has access to everything ever imagined. He tells them everything exists in its own dimension. Right on cue, Mike and Lucas run into two people from another dimension and are quickly seperated with Lucas becoming lost in a different dimension.
Okay, that’s a lot to say in one breath, but there’s more. I’ll skim quickly from here. The two men have been revealed to be Dr. Victor Frankenstein and his original creation, “the Monter”. Lucas wasn’t in the other dimension by himself – a store costumer named Tom and “the Monster” were with him. Mike teamed up with Frankenstein to track them down. Turns out “the Monster” is a kind, well-mannered person. Frankenstein has ulterior motives that puts him in direct confrontation with the rest of the group.
Meanwhile, Pat and Mike’s wife, Allison, enter the mix. Frankenstein bites off Allison’s finger and escapes. Turns out he’s with the government working to create a bio-engineered, genetically superior army. His experiments have been successful, providing him with a small army of agents, but his most successful creation remains “the Monster”. He needs “the Monster’s” genetic code to repeat the process. Now on the run from Frankenstein, his agents and the military, Mike and friends escape to another dimension with the Dr. following closely behind. It’s at this point we find out the other customer in the store is Tom Sawyer and the group has found themselves in his home dimension.
And that catches us up to where we are. Of course, I glossed over quite a bit, so if you’re new to the story or aren’t sure about some of what I mentioned above, feel free to go back and reread – it won’t cost you anything.
