Oct 20, 2020It's not a classic take on the character by any stretch but Werewolf By Night #1 (Taboo, Earl, Eaton) is off to a solid start with an interesting new story. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Charles Martin
Oct 21, 2020Werewolf By Night #1 bursts onto the shelf with a surprisingly dense, surprisingly thoughtful tale of teenage lycanthropy on the Hopi Reservation. Dynamic art, compelling characters, a rich new world, and a nice, creepy monster-mystery all serve to suck in even the most disinterested of readers. "Werewolf By Night" might not be the kind of title that normally grabs you, but I urge you to give it a shot -- I doubt you'll be disappointed. Read Full Review

Oct 19, 2020Werewolf by Night #1 is a solid first issue for fans of a heroic monster who truly is good and pure. It's a wholesome werewolf story that borders on delivering important political themes, especially in America today. For that, it's a worthy read. Read Full Review

Oct 19, 2020WEREWOLF BY NIGHT #1, reads more like a Hulk story than a horror comic, it's a standard action plot with exceptional artwork. I would recommend this to anyone with an insatiable hunger for werewolf entertainment. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Jonathan Cadotte
Oct 24, 2020Werewolf By Night #1 is a decent introduction to Jake, Molly, Granny Rora, and the rest of the cast. Some of the dialog gets a little awkward. But all in all, it's a fun and quick read. Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Ricardo Denis
Oct 24, 2020The comic is not without its charm and it does have heart. Theres a chance future issues complicate things well enough to take our werewolf into uncharted territory. The first issue of Werewolf by Night is no indication of this, but theres enough here to build on. Read Full Review

Horror DNA - James Ferguson
Oct 28, 2020Werewolf by Night #1 had a lot of ground to cover and it looks like there's still more to go until this comic finds its bearings. There are some interesting concepts introduced, but we're not quite invested with these characters just yet. I'm still along for the ride though. The Marvel Universe is capable of producing great horror, so I want very much to see a book like this succeed. Read Full Review

Word Of The Nerd - Brent Jackson
Oct 21, 2020All in all I was a little bit disappointed with Werewolf by Night #1. It is not a terrible book, but it did not live up to my expectations, either. I think the story needs some work and needs to give the reader something to grasp onto. It just did not capture my attention through the issue. The art fares a bit better, but still not as dynamic and eye-catching as I was hoping for. It was, all combined, just a lackluster affair. It had some interesting points and ideas, but it all didn't come together to form something interesting in the end of this first issue. Read Full Review

ComicBook.com - Nicole Drum
Oct 21, 2020Ultimately, Werewolf By Night is a fun read that offers some interesting and thought-provoking moments. It feels like a promising reinvention of the classic Werewolf By Night. There's enough here to encourage readers to come back for the next issue, but it may be too light for readers hoping for genuine horror or a monster story. Read Full Review

Jake is a young Hopi man who's learned to manage his werewolf curse -- now it's time to try doing real good with it. That'll put him at odds with the local evil pharma corp, as well as (possibly) US Marshall Red Wolf. The storytelling is strong and simple, with bold art and dense dialogue. The combined force of characterization and world-building crammed into this debut issue is impressive, setting up a promising launching pad for a longer story.

I liked it. At first i thought the idea of a werewolf without the drama of the lost of control kind of removes the point of making a werewolf story,but there was something interesting about having an angst-free lycantrope. Dialogue was a bit too expository for my taste, but hopefully this is only a quirk of the first issue.

This is a very middling book. I don't think it's written very well at all. The art is uneven. It's just not very good.
