Werewolf Captain America is Back For New Marvel Comics Series CAPWOLF & THE HOWLING COMMANDOS
Werewolf Captain America is set to return for a new Marvel Comics limited series titled Capwolf & The Howling Commandos. This was announced by AIPT Comics, and Capwolf & The Howling Commandos is a four-issue set during World War II and it sounds like an awesome story!
The synopsis reads: “When Captain America is transformed into a werewolf on the front lines of World War II, he’ll need the help of the Howling Commandos to take down a band of Nazi cultists who intend to use supernatural forces to turn the tide of battle. But can Cap control the skeptical, jaded Commandos when he can barely control himself?”
I love these kinds of pulpy horror stories and I’m excited about this. This would make for an awesome live-action or animated series!
The comic comes from writer Stephanie Phillips (Cosmic Ghost Rider, Rogue & Gambit) and artist Carlos Magno. Phillips shared in a statement: “This is the kind of story I was dying to tell at Marvel, blending my love of historical fiction with the incredible history of the characters in the Marvel Universe. CapWolf and the Howling Commandos may be a war story, but it also has horror, romance, and a few new characters that we introduce along the way. And just wait until you see Carlos Magno’s incredible artwork on this series…”
In the 90s, Cap transformed into a werewolf after investigating a string of murders in Marvel’s Captain America #402-408 by Mark Gruenwald and Rick Levins. Steve Roger found himself facing off with the villainous Dr. Nightshade, who injected him with a serum created from Jack Russell/the Werewolf by Night’s DNA. He eventually got better.
Capwolf & The Howling Commandos #1 goes on sale on October 11.
