Master of Horror Joe Hill (Locke & Key, NOS4A2) joins Creepshow! Gather round, kiddies, for a special presentation! In this feature-length issue, Creepshow alum Joe Hill is joined by Jason Ciaramella (C Is for Cthulhu) and Michael Walsh (The Silver Coin) to tell the terrifying tale of a businessman whose commute is about to get a lot hairier when his train makes an unexpected stop at "Wolverton Station"! This one-shot adapts the acclaimed short story by Joe Hill in an expanded format with new twists and turns... including a special appearance by The Creep!
Creepshow: Joe Hill's Wolverton Station is a great one-shot featuring the worst America offers in greedy businessmen and the fate that befalls them when they take their work abroad. It's a good werewolf story that perfectly matches the gore and weirdness. Read Full Review
While many Creepshow stories feature some type of morality twist or surprise ending, Wolverton Station marks a pretty straightforward experience, that is, once you accept it's possible for a train to be full of werewolves. In that sense, it feels a bit underwhelming that the connection between collecting monster memorabilia and becoming surrounded by werewolves doesn't have as much thematic significance as other, shorter Creepshow stories, but both the story and the pages of canine carnage are still a delight to revel in, if not entirely justifying its extended page count.

CREEPSHOW: WOLVERTON STATION (ONE-SHOT) offers an okay story with the appeal of werewolves and a satisfying twist for the classic American jerk character. However, the narrative stumbles due to a lack of setup, and the art, while strong in the werewolf department, could use refinement in backgrounds and details. Read Full Review
Walsh delivers fantastic art throughout the issue. I love the visual style and Walsh always showcases beautifully horrific imagery. Read Full Review
