Hitting it's Stride,
By
This review is from: The Astounding Wolf-Man Volume 2 (v. 2) (Paperback)
Please don't read this review if you have not read the first trade as I mention several plot points from the first volume. Coming off the events of the first trade. Gary finds himself on the run and hunted by the government for killing his wife. Though he is innocent, he searches for a way to clear his name with the law and his daughter and to get revenge on the vampire who betrayed him and is the true killer. He also seeks out the elder werewolf who changed him so he might learn more about his powers. Also contains an appearance by Invincible. This trade contains the issues 8-12 of Astonishing Wolf-Man, Invincible 57 and Monster Pile-Up 1 as well as sketches and character designs. This is a terrific comic and one of my favorite titles. Invincible, Tech-Jacket, Capes and Brit are all in the same universe if you want even more Kirkman goodness.

WOW! "Wolfman" really takes off,

"The Astounding Wolfman, v.2"
Written by Robert Kirkman Illustrated by Jason Howard & Ryan Ottley (Image Comics, 2009) -------------------------------------- Awesome. This is where the new series by Robert Kirkman, about a superhero werewolf, really takes off. Although I liked the first volume, I wasn't completely wowed by it, but this volume definitely had me hooked. Here, Kirkman firmly anchors the Wolfman to the rest of his superhero universe, with a crossover event involving the teen hero Invincible, and a slugfest involving the JLA-ish Guardians Of The Globe, as well as the beginning of an entanglement with the government agency that once sponsored Invincible's career. This is all fun, but meanwhile the Wolfman finds his personal life shattered, and pursues more mastery of his supernatural talents, seeking the mentorship of the very werewolf that attacked him in Volume One, and made him a werewolf in the first place. There are still huge, gaping holes in the plot -- for example, we had learned previously that the elder werewolves sometimes choose their victims for specific reasons, but our hero, despite spending weeks in the forest training with his "sponsor," never asks why he was chosen. (Guess that'll be a future episode...) Regardless, the series is picking up steam and is becoming quite fun. I burned through the first two books, and when I got to the end of this volume, I was really, really bummed that I'll have to wait for several months to find out what happens next. But trust me: I'll be there! (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain book reviews)

This review is from: The Astounding Wolf-Man Volume 2 (v. 2) (Paperback)
When I first heard about this series I'll admit I was a little turned off by the idea of a Batman knock off that was a werewolf. After a while I decided to give it a chance and read the first volume. I was completely blown away by how much I enjoyed it. Kirkman is great at taking seemingly cliche ideas and some how making them fresh and fun. I feel the series is building good momentum and keeps you interested. I must have.
