A comic featuring werewolves in an Old West setting? A werewolf anti-hero who hung out with Abe Lincoln and sports sideburns that make Logan look like a 14-year-old?

Willow Creek – 30 Days of Night, But With Werewolves?
Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but according to a review at Horror Year Book, Zenescope Enertainment’s new werewolf comic Willow Creek might borrow a little too heavily from 30 Days of Night. From HYB’s mini-review:
I’ll make it simple: Willow Creek is 30 Days of Night… only with werewolves. Right down to the artist choice, Josh Medors, sporting his best Ben Templesmith, and drawing a tale about a sheriff who’s come back to a town that’s inhabited by Bigfoot… but not really. It’s a werewolf.
Yet the similarities are more bemusing than outrageous– “it’s intriguing to say the least,” the reviewer notes.

The Complete Underworld
Blogcritics Magazine writer Richard Marcus has posted a review of The Complete Underworld, a graphic novel collection that illustrates and expands upon the setting, story and characters of the Underworld films. There’s also a prequel story (today’s the day for Underworld prequels, isn’t it?) called Red In Tooth And Claw, which Marcus says is “quite a good, inspired, piece of story telling that manages to recreate the world of the vampires and werewolves in another environment.”
The Complete Underworld is published by IDW Publishing, the same company that’s releasing Ben Templesmith’s new werewolf series Welcome to Hoxford, which Werewolf News mentioned earlier this week.
