Werewolf By Night: Red Band
Marvel's new Red Band line of grindhouse-style grittiness and stories presents a new beginning for comics' iconic lyncathrope, Werewolf By Night!
NOTE: This special edition is intended for mature audiences only.
Jack Russell has been trying to live a simple life — but in the deadly and dramatic wake of BLOOD HUNT, his life is about to be turned upside down in ways he never imagined! With new enemies hoping to extract a (literal) pound of flesh and Jack unsure whether he can be trusted around old allies and a lost love, the Werewolf by Night is in for the fight of his life — and he’s in it alone! Because when he finds himself in the middle of mysterious massacre, he’s the prime suspect! With his memories missing and his wolf form out of control and off the leash, will Jack be able to clear his name? Or will his friend Elsa Bloodstone finally realize he’s a rabid dog that needs to be put down? The bloody trail of the Werewolf will lead from the Savage Land into confrontations with Moon Knight and the Incredible Hulk! Plus: what impact did BLOOD HUNT have on the other Werewolf by Night, Jake Gomez?

This one snuck past me, didn’t realize I never reviewed this first volume. This series is drawn so well and the story is pretty solid. Loving how dark and gruesome it is and the characters and references they bring in. Supernatural Marvel for the win yet again!

Jamás imaginé volverme fan de Werewolf by night pero lo tomé por curiosidad por el especial de Disney plus y está muy bueno

Al no toparme tan fácilmente las fichas de los dos últimos números de la cabecera en Goodreads, pues remato opinión en la de la edición integral... Como llevaba comentando hasta el momento. Me alegra toparme con una nueva cabecera del hombre lobo Marvelita, que bien puede haber generado nuevo interés tras el especial audiovisual en Disney+. El evento de Blood Hunt, ha vuelto a desatar la parcela sobrenatural y monstruosa Marvel, y varios villanos están volviendo a querer valerse de fuerzas diabólicas como el Darkhold o Lilith. En todo esto, nuestro anti héroe lupino que parecía tener un agradecido sosiego, ve como su lado monstruoso se vuelve a cebar con los inocentes. En este nuevo via crucis maldito, Elsa Bloodstone, legendaria cazadora de monstruos, acude en ayuda y consuelo de su amigo y ex pareja sentimental. Ambos deben encarar al Encapuchado, quien se ha aliado con un concilio de vampiros y individuos asociados a la brujería.
Jason Loo comprime en estos números una saga que vuelve a proponer a este hombre lobo como un héroe por derecho propio al que además ya le han salido "sidekicks" de "pelo en pecho" para los que conformar todo un clan lupino que enseñe los colmillos a cualquier ser con intenciones oscuras. En este caso, se acude a esa villana puramente noventera que vio nacer a los Hijos de Medianoche. Algo que queda como un elemento reconocible pero que no lleva a mucho más que el necesitar de la aparición de otro famoso Hechicero del Universo Marvel que actualmente es el gran problemón de todos los grandes héroes de este universo editorial. Werewolf by Night: Red Band, ofrece así un entretenimiento que por lo menos mantiene en el candelero este tipo de personajes que tantas alegrías le dio a Marvel en los 70" pero que durante mucho tiempo posterior han sido maltratados.
El one shot de Derek Landy resulta más apreciable que toda la serie troncal. Al igual que el de Michael Giacchino que directamente parece ofrecer un "remake" de su especial audiovisual con la participación de Man Thing.

Collecting all of the Werewolf By Night Red Band series as well as a couple of WBN one-shot stories, this is a chunky ol' book for werewolf fans.
The main series is decent enough - it throws in Elsa Bloodstone, and the other WBN, Jake Gomez, shows up nearer the end, but I feel like it was kind of light of actual Jack content. His inner monologue was a little overwrought, and he spends a lot of the 10 issues complaining and not actually doing much to solve any of his problems, leaving it all to Elsa to pick up the slack. It's an ambitious story for just ten issues, with a lot of meandering along the way, and I did find the final two or three issues quite powerful, however. Sergio Davila's artwork was also exceptional throughout, especially since he drew like 9.5 of the 10 issues.
The one-shot stuff is a bit more random. The Blood Hunt story takes place before the Red Band series, but is collected at the back, same with the Crypt Of Shadows story, which makes them a bit weird to read out of place, and the final story throws in Dracula and Man-Thing to try and set-up something else down the line, but at this stage, I don't know if we're going to be getting that.
I'm always happy to see Werewolf By Night getting some love, so I'm not complaining too hard about this collection.

A 'relaunch' of Marvel's WBN. This book seems to be more centered on traditional interpretations of lycanthropy; the loss of control that makes the afflicted both victim and killer. Not sure if 'Red Band' is going to be a new group of books, if it is I think that it might be similar to the Vertigo books from DC. Will keep an eye out for future books in the RB group.
