Now the soldiers of the sacrosanct want him returned to the grave. With unlimited wealth and an army of disciples, they will kill anything in their way, and anyone standing by his side.

From the introduction by Lana Wachowski:
Things change right?... For most of us change means uncertainty and uncertainty makes us anxious. Again paradoxically, for many change is the one thing that can save our lives. Lilly and I began this book known publicly as brothers. We are finishing it as sisters ... Now, after all these years, you might wonder why we are bothering to finish a story that so many have already forgotten about... The truth is I never forgot about it... and while many things have changed since we begin this book, several crucial things have not changed; I still love comics. I love Steve s art and think some of his best stuff he s done is in this book. And I love Frankenstein.
