Rated T+
Taken as a whole run, Werewolf by Night is fantastic. As a single issue #4 misses the mark by trying to do too much with too little. Read Full Review
Werewolf By Night #4 wraps up the arc, possibly the series, by beating the bad guy, saving the innocents, and letting the villain escape to fight another day. If Marvel wants to continue this series, they've got a lot of rework to do. Read Full Review
Jake saves the day with ample help from Red Wolf and the side-switching Monster Squad that attacked him earlier. This final issue is a real mess, scrambling to squeeze all the authors' ideas in under the finish line. The art can't quite keep up. I blame the editors for the problems of this series and this issue. The authors were clearly passionate and brought a ton of ideas to the table; the editors didn't give them enough space to execute them properly or professional advice on how to trim them down. It's a heartbreaker for me because I LIKE the ideas. Not enough to overlook the severely flawed storytelling, though.
Was there supposed to be a fifth issue? This issue seemed to be sprinting to finish itself as quickly as possible. Weird considering that the first 3 issues took their time.
Dialogue was pretty bad as well.
This is so by the numbers. Unfortunate, since I thought after the first issue that this series had more potential.
Just so boring.
Can we say letdown. I think it suffers from a length issue, four issues were simply not enough to provide any development and flow to the series. The first two issues started off strong, but it got weaker and weaker.
The positives-The reintroduction of Pathmind I liked, and there is a nice two page spread where the artwork is great. I found the coloring of this issue better than #3.
The negatives-The end wrap with the major villain was frankly just a bit stupid. Also, Jake's humor attempts seemed forced at the end and didn't really go with the character that had been presented.
I think a ten issue series would have been a much better idea.
