Future Quest is a comic that gets things done. In the five months that it's been a part of DC's monumentally fascinating Hanna-Barbera relaunch, it's offered a plot that unites virtually all of H-B's classic adventure cartoons in a single story, the debut of a new version of Mightor, a fourth member of the Impossibles, and, perhaps most importantly, Birdman shouting "Birrrrrrrrrdmaaaaaan!" Now, though, we're finally getting something that I've been waiting for since this whole series started.

No, not the dramatic return of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids, but something almost as good. When Future Quest #6 hits shelves next week, Jeff Parker and "Doc" Shaner are finally bringing us... Frankenstein Jr. Check out a preview below!

Okay, since he doesn't appear in the preview and he's actually a little obscure by H-B standards, I should probably explain a bit: Frankenstein Jr., who is not actually the son of anyone or anything named "Frankenstein," is a giant robot crime-fighter who battles evil alongside Buzz Conroy, Boy Scientist. If that's not an exciting premise, then folks, I don't know what is.

Here's the official solicitation:
