Werewolf By Night Red Band #1 (2024)

Sigh... Marvel did it to me again. I will never learn with my love of Thor and Werewolf by Night that unless the creator's names are names I know and trust... these won't be very good, much less great comics.

I can't even sneak it back on the rack because of the stupid polybag.
Anyway remember that Werewolf By Night One-shot from last Halloween? That kinda matters if you care about geography. If not they do a decent job catching you up. Did you read Blood Hunt? Me neither and this issue sums it up in 1 single splash page. Basically, the Moon is now even worse for Jack. Or... all the past 50 years of comics of him learning to control himself are for naught again and he is back to crying/ whining about it. Super "new and fresh" take, a back to roots story featuring Mark Bagleyesque artwork where everything is over rendered and if not for colors you could not tell flesh from a tree branch from a piece of metal. Also this book is "red band"ed for your protection. Not because it features body parts and blood, because much like every horror book Marvel has put out for the last 10-15 years, it is tame compared to Walking Dead or Invincible. For example, Old Man Logan by Millar has worse visual things in it and those were in the regular Wolverine comic series. The polybag is just to justify the extra $1 and to get you to buy 2. Don't do it. Buy one and read it yourself, if you think you want to. I am just one semi jaded opinion. Form your own opinion of why not to buy issue #2.
