Reader’s Notes:
“Sgt. Werewolf” didn’t make it on my radar until I saw it on the shelves at my local comic book store. The cover looked intriguing so I picked it up to go on a curiosity voyage.
The story has a very unique premise. One part briefly reminded me of the first “Hellboy” movie. The story quickly diverged from that path though. I enjoyed the appearance of a character that we’re already familiar with from other stories over the years.
As a fan of historical fiction I thought that the WWII setting was a nice touch. The writing and artwork did a sensational job of pulling the reader into that era. It made me think of some of the old war movies my grandfather used to love watching.
As a geek on a budget I believe “Sgt. Werewolf” is worth taking a look at if you’re in the mood for something new and different. It has solid artwork, a good premise, and a few good laughs along the way.
