This is a new comic from Image now on its third issue. Seems to have been selling extremely well and is pretty good fun. The book is about Gary Hampton, a CEO of his won company, who is bitten by a werewolf while on a family vacation. The story revolves around Gary's efforts to use his powers for good and to be a superhero, despite having an evil curse. He is befriended and trained by a vampire called Zecheriah who teaches him how to control his new power using it for helping people rather than for eating them. It's a fun read mixing superhero antics with horror staples and a nice dose of family life and high-powered business strife. My personal favourite moment is in issue #2 where a fellow superhero (part of a superhero team) meets up with Wolfman to thank him for his help stopping some bad guys. Wolfie suddenly loses control and promptly eviscerates the hapless hero. Cool! www.imagecomics.com/#4520en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Astounding_Wolf-Man

I've mentioned this book before. I like it. I just got issue #3, and I'm still thinking there's something suspicious about the vampire dude...
Too bad it only comes out every two months.

I too am a fan of this. Can't wait for the inevitable crossover with Kirkman's "Invincible" book.

I actually have a print of that cover you posted, signed by the artist Jason Howard.
