I was gonna post about this but Zapper beat me to it lol. I'm surprised they didn't make them sooner, they're REALLY ramping up the homage or fandom dolls aren't they.

Much to my annoyance, I missed Free Comic Book Day, probably because my relationship with the major comics store is trash but I knew this MH comic was coming and wanted it dangit.

Thankfully, YouLoveIt.com has given the preview pages and I'll probably snatch up a digital copy as well.

It's a preview for a New IDW Publishing series and honestly I am liking what I'm seeing! The art style is neat, I like the little world building between Frankie and her dad and it reminds me of the Freaky Fusion building as well. I like the idea that 'Sparky' made Frankie's parents, and her parent's made her, sort of creation-becomes-creator kind of thing.

I also spotted this whilst looking up the New Scaremester title and I was shocked at the cover ghouls. Seriously?? TORALEI AND CLAWDEEN?!!?!? Clawdeen, ghoulfriend, you can do so much better than that! I want to get the comic just to see what nonsense is inside. I know the fandom headcanons Clawdeen as a lesbian, I like seeing her single and without a boo, but I'd support her having a SO but NOT Toralei!

This is the alternative cover, and I have two observations; Valentine looks weirdly younger, almost baby-faced here. And second, Spelldon looks a LOT like James Charles and that is DISTRACTING, it gives me the ick and the broccoli haircut is NOT helping.

(I've never liked James Charles, I found him unsettling and odd even BEFORE his big fall from grace)

I can't wait for the comic story to unfold and hope it's good! I wish I could have the physical cover version with only Frankie on it. Frankenstein's monster looks great and his little moment with Frankie is cute. Guess it's digital copy for me, too. No idea if this will be sold here.

I could write a long essay about how much I loathe ClawdeenxToralei. It comes completely out of left field.
At least Valentine got a random bf that wasn't a character before so he can be written in any way, but Toralei was a very prominent antagonist throughout the entire run of G1 and never showed interest in Clawdeen or vise versa.

Clawdeen wasn't just headcanon'ed by the fandom, Garrett Sander revealed a while ago he wanted her to be a lesbian but Mattel said no, no lesbians. Hence why I have no problem with her getting a gf, but TORALEI out of all people???
Don't like how Valentine is an ex-villain and Toralei is an ex?-antagonist. Why have both be redeemed villains?
Why not use wholesome characters like Venus or Twyla (not as gfs for Clawdeen but in general)? Plus points, they never had bfs or were boycrazy so it's more believable with them. Give them girlfriends.
But no, lesbians or gays need to come with baggage and be controversial in some way or else it's not interesting. Valentine and his guy look like the cover for Heartstopper so you know this is aimed at straight girls first and foremost

PS: Love how Spelldon has the broccoli hair and he's green, like an anthropomorphic broccoli almost. He actually reminded me of Beast Boy from DC but apparently he is a wizard, Harry.
