Plot Summary
The man who had previously confronted Gary was revealed to be named Zechariah and he had been training Gary for three weeks now. He explained that he did drink blood but not human blood and he rarely did it. Gary now had almost complete control over his beast form and even aided in a house fire; the media managed to see him and dubbed him the Wolf-Man. Zechariah decided it was time to make it official and he took Gary to the "tailor" to get a supersuit. The suit was designed to store lunar energy to help sustain the wolf form if needed. Wolf-Man later helped a group of super teens called The Actioneers fight off the slime monster Spore. The help was appreciated but Gary withdrew quickly to avoid confrontation. The next night while he was sleeping with his wife he accidentally transformed with no control. He ended up killing one of the heroes who'd helped him.

Ever since I got the first issue on Free Comic-Book Day, I knew it would be an awesome series. Kirkman is a genius! I mean, taking a creature that is normally feared and thought of as evil, and then making it a hero that the public loves is awesome! I couldn't have thought up a cooler idea for the costume, or the insignia on his chest. The base, as well as the vehicle has never been heard of before with a werewolf, anot to mention ground breaking.
It's well written, writing Gary as controlling his wolf-form, but occasionally letting his Beast side take over. I love the drawing, very well designed. I hope this series is a keeper, because it's the first comic in a long time that I've been foaming at the mouth to get each month!
I can't praise this book enough. Two issues in and I feel like I've read more then all six of the issues of Batman Confidential. The Wolf-Man character is definatally an old school hero much like Kirkman's other book, Invincible. In this book we find Gary three weeks into his training, he has learned to control his new form and he makes a debut as a hero and gets a new costume.
The book sets up a lot here, including hints to a base and some kind of vehicle. It was a great idea to put the first issue out as a giveaway or else a lot of people might not have bought it, if you haven't tried it yet the first issue Director's Cut is out and you should consider picking it up, hope the books hangs in there.
I will admit this is mine first image comic i have ever gotten. I was always a marvel and dc fan but this comic might get me into image now. The astounding Wolf-man comic is a great comic. If someone ask me if they should get it, I would say you should definitely get it. (And try to bring him there right now lol) The drawing was well done. It is nice to see the Wolf-man actual interact with some heroes. (Even though it was short) I love it how they really made him into a werewolf (You must read the comic to get what I'm saying here). So overall i give this book a 5 star rating. I ask you to pick up this comic and tell me what you think.
