Solicitation:

Frankenstein is part of a network of strange beings that work for an even stranger government organization. But can he protect the world from threats even more horrifying than himself? And since he's vilified for who and what he is, will he even want to take on this mission?

Synopsis:

S.H.A.D.E. is headquartered in a sphere shaped, micro-sized flying headquarters only a few inches tall known as The Ant Farm, created with shrinking technology created by S.H.A.D.E. science liaison Ray Palmer. Palmer is a liaison to the United Nations. The organization is ran by Father Time, who appears in the form of a young girl wearing a domino mask and school girl uniform. Father Time indicates that he creates new bodies for himself "once a decade". S.H.A.D.E. agent Frankenstein is recalled from his vacation on Mars to respond to a situation in Bone Lake, Washington, where a large group of monsters known as Monsters of Bone Lake have decimated the city. Frankenstein is told his wife, The Bride, has already been sent to respond, and that S.H.A.D.E. has lost contact with her.

Frankenstein reports to Bone Lake, and meets a team assigned to him, against his wishes: the Creature Commandos II. The Creature Commandos include Nina Mazursky, a S.H.A.D.E. scientist who transformed herself into an aquatic monster and Vincent Velcoro, a volunteer who was transformed into a werewolf. The team also includes Warren Griffith, who volunteered to be transferred into a bat-humanoid utilizing a variation of the Kirk Langstrom formula (Man-Bat), as well as a final member named Khalis, who appears as an Egyptian mummy and is characterized as a "healer", although not much else is known.

The new team fights the monsters, and uncovers a group of children and elderly caretaker hiding in an underground location.
