I have always had a spot in my heart for were-wolves. I wish that they explored the werewolf character of Oz in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I enjoy reading about the were-people in the Laurell K. Hamilton books. And I have read a series of books about a werewolf in ancient Rome.
On Free Comic Book Day picked up The Astounding Wolf-Man and it was one of the most enjoyable books I picked up that day. It is the first book in a new series and the first issue was totally free. It tells the story of a man who is attacked by a werewolf and becomes one himself. Basically issue #1 was an origin story and we learn that there is more to this ‘curse’ than meets the eye. I may pick this one up on my regular rotation.
Today is Free Comic Book Day. Check to see if your local comic book store is participating and get out and get those free books.
I stopped over to see Brett, Scott and Chris at Double Midnight Comics in Manchester, NH.
I said hi to the guys and picked up 7 free comics. I got The astounding Wolf-man from Image comics, Viper Comics Presents Volume 2, Marvel Adventures Iron Man & Hulk, Unseen Peanuts from Fantagraphics Book, Sonic the Hedgehog from Archie Comics (for the grandson of one of Allison’s friends), Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century (I’ll read it and give it to Allison’s friend’s grandson) and The Transformer’s Official Movie Prequel. I already had the pay version of this and thought that there would be something extra in the free version but nope. I think the only difference was the ad for the Megatron Spotlight issue.
I also got a free Batman Heroclix and a poster for the Fantastic 4 movie. I didn’t get there when the guys were serving free pizza but we had an afternoon party anyway so I didn’t really need free pizza. Although free pizza always tastes better. Since the guys were so generous and participated in this event and they were offer in 25% off everything in the store for the day I was able to pick up Josh Howard Presents Sasquatch from Viper Comics. I am eager to read the stories especially the one by Wes Molebash of You’ll Have That.
