The Astounding Wolf-Man: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

Created by Robert Kirkman and Jason Howard, this [[Comic Book]] begins with a fairly simplistic concept: a werewolf superhero. What most product descriptions don't tell you, however, is that over its short-lived 25 issue run (July, 2007-November, 2010), the book quickly veers all over the place into multiple unexpected (and [[Darker and Edgier|arguably darker]]) territories very early in the series. Written by Robert Kirkman, famous for [[The Walking Dead]], the series is tied into the larger [[Image]] Comics superhero universe, and features frequent recurring characters from Kirkman's other work, [[Invincible (Comic Book)|Invincible]].

* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: Gorgg. More like "Sealed Evil In a ''Stonehenge''"

* [[Ship Tease]]: {{spoiler|Wolf-man}} and {{spoiler|Mecha-Maid}} started to get ''really'' close when they were working together. The cover for [http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/3/38780/1183193-astounding_wolf_man_22_super.jpg #22] really takes the cake though because {{spoiler|that [[Covers Always Lie|never happens in-story]]}}.
