Michael Giacchino, director of the excellent Disney+ Werewolf by Night special from a couple years ago will return to the character in a new comic, Werewolf By Night: Blood Moon Rise.
He’ll be joined by artist David Messina for the one-shot, which will feature Jack Russell going head-to-head with Dracula. Current Werewolf by Night: Red Band writer Jason Loo will contribute a back-up story.
“It could be a lost story from the original run, in a way,” Giacchino told Entertainment Weekly. “There’s a fun twist to it that I think is going to be really interesting for people who are into Jack Russell and that lore.”
Here’s how Marvel describes the one-shot:
WEREWOLF BY NIGHT: BLOOD MOON RISE spotlights what makes Werewolf By Night such a captivating Marvel icon, with over fifty years of comics history – and a hundred times as many bodies in his wake! In addition to Giacchino’s story that pits the tortured hero against Dracula, the one-shot will also have a backup story by Jason Loo, writer of the current WEREWOLF BY NIGHT: RED BAND (2024) comic series, celebrating the character’s history and future along with various bonus material.
Featuring a cover by Tyler Kirkham, the one-shot arrives July 30.
