In dealing with such a well-known character with history, it can be a challenge to present something new. Loo sets up a fantastic starting point that covers much ground before concluding. The art team led by Davila flood the pages with brutal scenarios and an ever-growing sense of intrigue. With a great jumping on point, this one will be a tale you won't want to miss where it leads next. Read Full Review
The power of Werewolf By Night #1 is the way the book pivots from MCU tie-in to a sharp, poignant tale of lost love and the danger of backsliding into whats comfortable. The book thrives in the dueling elements of the narration and coloring, operating on two levels to reflect the rift between former lovers and current business acquaintances. The alternating captions are made to be a clear, distinct snapshot into the dual leads and the coloring creates two visual styles that achieve the expressive, kinetic forward art. The book is an instant buy for fans of the two leads, or those searching for a short, bittersweet glimpse into some of the lesser-known, mystical characters of the Marvel Universe. Read Full Review
This adventure reminds me of the days of Marvel Premiere and Bizarre Adventures in tone and in execution, and if you know me, you know. That's high praise. Read Full Review
A fun supernatural tale with characters that don't always get their shine, and it's fully contained but leaves the reader wanting more. Read Full Review
Marvel fans who appreciate the horror side of Marvel should pick Werewolf by Night #1. Its a comic book thats safe to start with and doesnt require too much backreading to know a lot of previous information about the characters past. It throws readers right into the midst of a situation and doesnt let go for quite a while. There is a feeling that readers wont see the last of Jack Russell as he is due to make an official return in Crypt of Shadows soon. Be sure to grab this comic book from your local comic book store or online where copies can be purchased. Read Full Review
Werewolf By Night #1 brings the chills, thrills, and monsterific fun in time to kick off the Halloween season. Derek Landy's story is solid from front to back, and Fran Galn's art style adds a storybook charm to the visuals. Read Full Review
If you're looking for a fun comic to add to your buy pile to get into the Halloween mood, consider Werewolf By Night #1. Visually creative, the ex-dating heroes blend well as they take on a demonic threat in an old drafty castle. What more could you want with two heroes who fight monsters? Read Full Review
Jack Russell and Elsa Bloodstone return to the Marvel mythos in this jam-packed one-shot, one that surprisingly overstays its welcome. Read Full Review
THRILL to the exploits of the daring duo as an army of undead, pseudo-dead, and beyond dead creatures of nightmare try to stand up to the combined assault of a chick with a shotgun and a man so angry about being named after a terrier that he periodically turns into the most yoked version of one imaginable! SHUDDER at the fate of the girl they were supposed to help who kind of got lost in the tide of their captioned quippery! CHUCKLE at Jack's dejection when his intentions of getting a little post-action wind-down nookie are derailed when Elsa realizes the awful truth that comic book Jack isnotGael Garcia Bernal, but is instead one of the few men who actually LOSES hair when he transforms into a lycanthrope!

This was a perfect blend of a horror comic and a goofy buddy action flick. The art was great and the mix of black & white for the monsters where Elza was in color looked cool but lacked any logic and felt like a cheap gimmick referencing the show. Just hope future artist don't think Werewolf by Night needs to be B&W just because one TV special did it.
There's a lot to like about this issue. What I don't like is the design for the werewolf when there is a completely different design on the cover. The interaction between Elsa and Jack are really good and the fact that she's in color and he's in black and white is an interesting choice. I like that they failed their mission as well. Too bad this is not ongoing.
