5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Surprise!

I don't know why I bought this trade, maybe it was all the good buzz it was getting, but I remember thinking the concept sounded a bit stupid when the first issue hit the shops: Basically it's: guy gets turned into a werewolf so he becomes a superhero.

Let me just say that despite the silly premise, this book is great. The art is fantastic and the writing is top notch. The comic reads very cinematic and there were times I wished an Astounding Wolf-Man movie were in the works just so I can see all this on the big screen (or HBO series). The horror and superheroics mix pretty well and there are lots of twists and turns in the series so far. I can think of at least two times in the book (maybe three) where I said "oh crap!" out loud.

Can't wait for the next trade!

I just finished the first volume last night, and all I can say is: I am truly amazed.

The Astounding Wolf-Man is a comic masterpiece. To be honest, I just learned about the comic book series a few days ago, and I'm already in love with it! ^__^

The art style is very unique, compared to all of the other comics I've read in the past. The story is very well written, and the fighting and action scenes are very detailed. I would give an award to the creater and artist who made this comic if I could, but I can only give my positive review and happy comments, which is worth much, much more than a trophie or medal.

I was blown away from this comic, and I have already ordered the next two volumes, and I will pre-order the final volume after finishing the third. I cannot wait to read the next books!

I am very happy with my purchase of The Astounding Wolf-Man! :)

"The Astounding Wolfman, v.1"
Written by Robert Kirkman
Illustrated by Jason Howard
(Image Comics, 2008)
--------------------------------------
This slim volume, collecting issues #1-6 of a new series by Robert Kirkman, is a pleasant book, a quick read with the simplicity and quick movement of the classic, old-school superhero books that many of us grew up with. Kirkman has established himself as a master of retrodelic comicbook storytelling, particularly on his "Invincible" title which takes the teenaged superman myth to new heights. He's also mastered the monster genre, in his zombie epic, "The Walking Dead," and this title, about a superhero werewolf, falls somewhere between the two.

The storytelling in this initial arc is economical in the extreme, opening, without prelude, to the aftermath of a vicious mauling that leads our hero to become a lycanthrope. With even less explanation we learn that, conveniently enough, the newly-minted monster man is also a Bruce Wayne/Tony Stark-style gazillionaire, enabling him to build a secret lair and design some of the high-tech doodads that go with the superduper lifestyle. Despite the overly facile presentation of these and other important plot points, this is an enjoyable series, and although I wasn't blown away, I was engaged, and wanted to read the follow-up story in Volume Two... And that's good, because in Volume Two, this series really starts to sizzle! Worth checking out. (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain book reviews)

A great comic that mashes up the super-hero & the monster/horror genres perfectly. I was instantly hooked with Volume 1 & I think the more simplified artwork with the Danny Phantom-esque color palette works perfectly! Highly recommended to all Kirkman fans!

Ever feel that every werewolf story and superhero story sound the same? Well Robert Kirkman, a modern comic book genius of our time, has mashed the two together to make a story of power, responsibly, and regret. Taking to great length as for me to say is that the story seemed silly and shallow. I was wrong. It's one with depth and meat for hungry eyes on each page. Detailing as to say with violence which I found surprising and interesting. All together it's a worth while looking at.

自分にとっては初めての洋書コミック。
全てカラーで読み順は日本と違って反対からですが獣人系のマンガはあまりないので嬉しい限りです。
まだ一通り見て状況を判断しているだけで台詞は地道に翻訳しながら読んでいきます。
主人公、狼獣人と敵か味方か分からない吸血鬼が何か目的を…というのは判断出来ましたが…(苦笑)
狼獣人の絵がとてつもなく格好いい…。
もし、台詞が日本語版か日本版コミックとか発行されたら迷うことなく買います！
