The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of VAN HELSING VS THE WEREWOLF #1 from Zenescope Entertainment. Chuck Dixon writes, Allan
Otero draws, Robby Bevard colors, and Taylor Esposito of Ghost Glyph Studios
letters.
When Liesel has a bit of downtime, she often cruises the
London bookshops for anything interesting. One of her shops has a fragment of a
codex that starts her on the path toward a legendary sword of heaven. That
leads her to Beijing, where she learns that the next step is in Mumbai. But one
thing leads to another, and the plane crashes in the Himalayas.
This is a very busy first issue. Liesel is not very good at
downtime, it seems, and the sword is too great a prize not to try for. This
issue shows us a lot about her character as well, and it makes a seemingly
simple quest complicated and fun. And the art helps with that, looking
fantastic in a wide range of locations.
Chuck Dixon’s first foray in the Zenescope universe is off
to a strong start; he’s already got a good grasp of Liesel and of monster
fighting. I like where this story is going.
VAN HELSING VS THE WEREWOLF #1 is available now from your
local comic shop, or online at zenescope.com.
