I have to admit, this is one of the reviews I was looking forward to the most. I think I speak for both Dikran and I in saying that as not only comic geeks, but film geeks, AICN is the one site we started going to FIRST in terms of scoops, film news, reviews, or anything geek related. They are definitely the pioneer and I was definitely sweating this one almost as much as I was Fangoria.
And I'm happy to say that Mark S. Miller, aka Ambush Bug, has nothing but awesome things to say about the book. In fact, he was cool enough to actually stop by at NY Comic-con today and wish me luck and say how much he liked it. It was definitely a great feeling... And here is some of what he had to say:
"I've got to give this book props for not telling your typical run of the mill werewolf story. The framework here is part noir and part Western as a stranger walks into town in search of the man who hurt his paw...(get it? werewolf story? shot paw...ohhh, nelly, I need a drink...). This is a nice genre mixing story where familiar aspects of horror, Western, and noir are dusted off and made new again by mashing them all together. This 100 + page is well paced and I was surprised how fast I whisked through it. Artist Pawel Sambor does a pretty fine job with mixing computer enhancements with his sketches though sometimes Sambor's characters look similar to each other. He makes up for it in spades when he draws the werewolves in all of their hairy and toothy glory. All and all, this is a refreshing take on the lycanthrope genre."
