The Astounding Wolf-Man: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

* [[Adaptive Armor]]: Mecha-Maid can transform into this to [[Power Fist|awesome]] [[BFG|effect]].

* [[The Adjectival Superhero]] / [[Something Person]]

* [[Art Evolution]]: Jason Howard was a new artist at the time of starting the book, and he and Kirkman both note in the collected editions how his style changed and improved over the 25 issues.

* [[Audible Sharpness]]: Thrill Kill's blades pop out with a ''"SHUKKT!"''

* [[Big Badass Wolf]]: [[Captain Obvious|The title character for one]]. But there are a number of other werewolf characters that appear and unsurprisingly fit this trope.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Go ahead, [[Papa Wolf|try to harm Gary's daughter]] Chloe.

** Alternatively [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|see what happens]] when you disrupt the Elder's forest.

* [[BFG]]: At various points characters tote these. Also Mecha-Maid [[Adaptive Armor|can become one]].

* [[Blood Is the New Black]]: It's often easier to count the times we see Gary without blood on him, than with. Just part of the [[Gorn]].

Line 43:

* [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him]]: Very averted. {{spoiler|Gary is out to KILL Zechariah for what he's done. When he finally finds the chance he takes it. Cecil has a different plan unfortunately.}}

* [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: {{spoiler|Zechariah}}

* [[Involuntary Shapeshifting]]: The 'Moon Rage' that overtakes werewolves on the first night of the full moon. They can learn to control the transformations on any other night.

* [[It Always Rains At Funerals]]: {{spoiler|Dunford's funeral}}

* [[Left Hanging]]: {{spoiler|Dracula}} is introduced...in the last issue ever.

Line 54:

* [[Oh Crap]]: {{spoiler|When Gary is caught at sunrise while he's mourning over Rebecca's grave.}}

* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Zechariah's vampiric powers come straight out of typical lore, including being able to turn into bats and mist, but his personality is much more layered and he appears to be more compassionate than common vampires, as he takes on a mentor role with Gary in the early issues. {{spoiler|Until he turns into a straight-up villain after his [[Face Heel Turn]] anyway.}}

** [[Justified Trope|Justified]] with {{spoiler|Chloe. She's got some powers of a vampire due to using vampire blood, but she's not an actual vampire herself.}}

** Appears to be COMPLETELY averted with the final issue's ominous introduction of {{spoiler|Dracula.}} [[Left Hanging|Not that we'll ever know...]]

* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: In this universe werewolves can come to control their transformations on all nights except for the first full moon of the month where they fall into a bloody rage. {{spoiler|Werewolves also survive as a race proper, outside of normal society, and are ruled by a more potent strain of werewolf called an ''elder''.}}

Line 66:

* [[Tell Me About My Father]]: Not that Chloe asks for it... Dunford explains to her how truly dedicated and good her father is and always has been despite his lycanthropy.

* [[Terrible Trio]]: ''"Triple Threat"'' Construct is plainly the most competent one, the other two are goons.

* [[Training ~~From~~ Hell]]: {{spoiler|Gary's vampire-killing training is pretty awful. Particularly the training of his healing powers which involves being '''DISEMBOWELED''' by the Elder!}}

* [[Training from Hell]]: {{spoiler|Gary's vampire-killing training is pretty awful. Particularly the training of his healing powers which involves being '''DISEMBOWELED''' by the Elder!}}

* [[Unhand Them, Villain!]]: A hilarious example. The villain, trying to be [[Genre Savvy]], insists that if he drops the hostage off of the ledge he will be able to get away because Wolf-man will be too busy saving the hostage. So when villain drops the hostage Wolf-man lunges over the edge... and brings the villain with him!

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Gary/ Wolf-man has an exceptional number of these.
