Robert Kirkman delivers another entertaining issue. This is his worst ongoing series, but that is a relative term. Wolf-Man spends most of the issue holding his own, taking the fight to Zachariah way beyond what the vampire expected. I really enjoyed the appearance of the Capes crew as they took on the Actioneer-vampires. Kid Thor even comments “so that's what happened to you guys? You're evil? That sucks.” It's a tiny throwaway bit, but very funny. Since those two groups occupy each other, Gary and Zachariah get plenty of time to do their version of Vampire vs. Werewolf fighting. The werewolf in the equation comes out surprisingly well, and the fight ends with Gary spiking his foe to the ground. Zachariah tries to warn Gary about the evil of the wolf-god who's been training him, but Gary doesn't listen. I don't blame him, even if Zachariah is right, he's a proven liar who can't be trusted. Gary's daughter Chloe shows up in a silly costume and fights her dad, and after a nice heart to heart, makes a surprising decision in dealing with him. It's a nice twist and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.
Jason Howard's art is solid. I didn't care for Chloe's super-costume, but other than that everything looked great.
