The Rundown: Werewolf by Night and Elsa Bloodstone reluctantly team up to save a girl from a madman.
The evil Doktor Nekromantik has moved a castle from the Alps to the Rockies and has used his monsters to kidnap a girl from a local village. Jack Russell aka Werewolf by Night has decided to rescue the girl and stop whatever experiment the Doktor has planned for her.
At the same time, Elsa Bloodstone has discovered the kidnapping as well and swoops in to save the girl and kill some monsters. The pair will have to work together to stop an even bigger threat that has designs for the world itself.
The Story: A thoroughly enjoyable book and team up. The characters have always been great individually and teaming them up just makes me want to see more of them together. The banter between them is fun and the narration adds great layers to the characters individually and in how they feel about each other. The action is great and I really enjoyed the clever way they got themselves out of a jam. I would read an entire series with these two characters at the center.
The Art: Galan offers fantastic and brilliantly stylish art throughout the issue. The action is thrilling to see and the characters look fantastic on the page.
