Bronze-Age Monsters

Our Freaky Friday body-swap tale continues, as The Werewolf fights step-dad Phillip, who's trapped in the monstrous body of the son of Taboo. Phew! They oughtta sell programs (can't tell your Taboos from your Topazes without a program). Also, Taboo's master plan is revealed (just like Wu Tang, it's C.R.E.A.M.)

Behold the strange sorcerer pulling The Committee's strings: Taboo! He wants to talk to the Werewolf about a certain Book of Sins he claims was stolen from him...with him is his familiar, the mystical and beguiling Topaz!

Buck finds out The Beast is his very own buddy Jack. The Committee takes a shot at nabbing our favorite werewolf. The Hangman yells a lot about innocence and justice with wolf at the door. Plus: The WbN Drinking Game! Ginger Snaps ! Adventureman ! The Mighty Crusaders (2017) !

Jack quits couch surfing at Buck's & moves into a swinging singles apartment building where he promptly turns into a monster. Meanwhile, the Hangman protects women from criminal scum permanent-like. He, Jack, and Lissa are on a collision course with chauvinist, violent wackiness. With director Brad Elmore ( The Wolfman's Hammer , Bit ) Plus: Werewolf by Night (2020) #2

REVEALED: The Committee's plans to use Jack & Lissa to...stimulate a...sluggish economy? Sarnak's identity and where he came from!

Jacob talks with T.M. Tucker about his new werewolf book Above the Circle of the Moon: An 18th-Century Werewolf Novel and Matt & Jacob review Werewolf by Night #8 .

Our (anti)hero The Beast becomes the 1st of the Marvel Horror characters to interact with superheroes of the 616 when Jack visits San Francisco and becomes unwitting muscle for Moondark, a powerful magician who has turned all of the Bay Area's denizens into mindless automatons!

The Swami Rihva's plans for Jack are revealed and they require Jack's supernatural blood (hey, he's using that!)...but, fear not, Lissa and Buck are on the case!

The Werewolf falls under the cross-hairs of Swami Rihva, the proprietor of the sinister Calliope Circus & Carnival, who has some sinister designs on our beloved Beast. Also, Jack's nocturnal activities are now on the radar of LAPD detective Lou Hackett.

The two writers of the re-imagined Werewolf by Night series joined us to talk about the new book, Red Wolf, slam-bam monster brawls, and how to walk with respect when reinventing a classic property for a new generation of readers. Check out their 4-issue limited series starting October 21st.

Len Wein picks up the story where we left off: a wounded Jack aims to free sister Lissa from Joshua Kane's trap, but his brother Luther has even more sinister, noir-ish plans for The Beast: take a life or lose your sister! What's a werewolf to do?

Comics fan & filmmaker Brad Michael Elmore ( Bit , The Wolfman's Hammer ) jumped at the chance to be on the show to talk about Marvel's Bronze Age occultism (or 'Saturday morning Satanism,' as he called it), in particular, Issue #4 of Werewolf by Night : The Beast saved Lissa from the Mad Monk, but it's out of the frying pan & into the fire as a crazed & bored big game hunter sets his sights on a...

Father Joquez translates The Darkhold and, to quote every YouTuber ever, it...didn't go well. A medieval Satan-worshiping monk reveals the origins of the Darkhold, the Book of Sins, and his strange connection to Jack's family that could doom the entire world!

Jack Russell (and The Beast) becomes the prey of a mysterious figure who wants to capitalize on his lycanthropy for his own personal gains.

When last we saw the Werewolf, he had been turned to stone by a mutant gorgon on Blackgar's island of horrors. The story continues here in the debut of his own title.

Jack meets a curious new ally who also seeks the Darkhold and informs him it might be in his birth-father's Transylvanian castle...which was purchased by one Dr. Miles Blackgar and transported, brick by brick, to an island off the Cali coast. What luck! But, Jack (and his furry other half) couldn't have prepared themselves for the horror they encounter on THE ISLAND OF THE DAMNED!

Jack Russell's new and complicated life of lycanthropy & magic curses gets even more heavy when a gang of bikers target his sister Lissa and an even more nefarious couple plot to nab Jack and force him to reveal the location of a forbidden tome from his father's collection: the legendary grimoire...THE DARKHOLD! *Note: Jacob's snazzy new mic was accidentally unplugged this week, so his audio was r...
