comment |
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 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. |

Heroic B.S.O.D.: Truly the whole series is sort of an extended one of these. But a critical moment would be when Gary's wife is killed by Zechariah. |

comment |
Darker and Edgier: The first seven or so issues of the series, though gory at times, are fairly light and standard superhero fare. After Gary’s wife is murdered, however, the story becomes much tighter and more serialized, the pace improves, the twists are huge and the stakes are constantly raised. |

Mr. Fanservice: Gary/Wolf-man goes shirtless many times in all his muscular and perfectly sculpted glory. And as a werewolf he naturally suffers Clothing Damage often. This only applies to his werewolf form though, as a human he's decidedly average. |

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! |

Our Vampires Are Different |
| | The Astounding Wolf-Man (Comic Book) / int_9f63d4f1 |
comment |
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. Until he turns into a straight-up villain after his Face–Heel Turn anyway. Zechariah shares how he'd hoped to join the great world of vampires who move in secret and live in powerful luxury. However, he soon discovered vampires are nothing more than junkies, desperate for their latest "fix" and couldn't organize a picnic, let alone a grand society. Justified with 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 Dracula. Not that we'll ever know... (Though Hickman has hinted the rebooted Guarding The Globe/Invincible Universe title just may see some further development of that thread.) |

Hates Being Touched: Besides being a technological genius (she's the one who finally gets Wolf-Man's gauntlets to work so he can stay a werewolf for some time during the day), this is Construct's most known trait. The first time we see her, she freaks when Wolf-Man destroys her robot and is near her, and later we see that in her secret headquarters, she has a laser defense system designed specifically to shoot off next to her if someone tries touching her. |

Alas, Poor Villain: The Elder. He turned Gary into a werewolf effectively ruining his life. Then he proceeds to toy with Gary's life before challenging him to a duel to the death. But in the series final moments we learn The Elder's motives and they are a bit more humanizing than one might expect. |

Stuffed into the Fridge: Hoo-boy, trademark example with Gary's wife, Rebecca. Chances are your most prominent memory of her is her head turned almost backwards as she lies in a big pool of blood with vampire bites in her neck. That haunts Gary and drives the remainder of the story throughout the entire run. |

Gary turning him into a werewolf literally saved his life. |

Crossover: Quite a few with Invincible. Supporting Invincible character Cecil is even pretty much a main character for the latter half of Wolf-Man's run. Recurring Capes villain Vault and some actual members of Capes Inc. also make an appearance. Kid Thor offers Gary a job at the company — night shift, of course. The Actioneers show up in Invincible a while after the end of their home series' run, with reformed Invincible rogue Powerplex as a new member. |

comment |
Depending on the Writer: Wolf-Man and Invincible have an odd case of this happening between two series by the same writer with the character of Cecil Stedman, who appears in both series. In Wolf-Man, Cecil is shown to be much nicer than in Invincible; for example, he's willing to believe the best about Wolf-Man (that he didn't kill his wife), whereas he always believes the worst about Invincible (that he's a bad guy working with his father). On the other hand it's fairly well-known that Cecil tends to hold grudges (by his own admission) and Gary has never given Cecil a reason to doubt him, unlike Omni-Man or Invincible. |
