Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 27 Bonus: Werewolf by Night Red Band #1 & 2
Marvel's Werewolf by Night: Red Band #1 came out in August and finds Jack Russell living in a gothic Bavarian castle that mysteriously appeared in the Colorado Rockies. He finds the mutilated bodies of two friends in the woods after a night of being the werewolf but he can't remember what happened. Meanwhile in a Transylvania monastery, Deathwatch and the Hood takes over what's left of the Darkholder vampires. Elsa Bloodstone then arrives at the castle and finds Jack chained but he changes before attacking her. Back in Transylvania, the Darkholders are creating chaos and turning everybody into vampires before taking over Dracula's castle.
Werewolf by Night: Red Band #2 came out in September and opened with the Lord Hood talking to Granny Dorgana while the Darkholders are moving into Bran Castle aka Castle Dracula. He presents her with a magical dagger, which she uses to cast a spell that locates a descendant of Cthon's hound thrall. Jack and Elsa have a nice discussion about his new frenzy but they end up fighting and she leaves. She goes to the Midnight Mission to talk to Mr. Knight (Moon Knight in a white suit). Khonshu the moong god speaks to her about Jack's situation and agrees to help. Deathwatch and some Darkholders make a visit to Jack moments before he changes into the werewolf. Elsa and Moon Knight arrive and joins the battle. Deathwatch escapes by a portal but Elsa and Moon Knight now have to stop the werewolf from attacking two young hikers. Deathwatch arrives back in Bran Castle and presents Granny Dorgana a pound of Jack's flesh but she requires more.
Werewolf by Night: Red Band #3 comes out this month but I haven't read it yet and I will post it after I do.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 23: Crypt of Shadows #1 Cover
Marvel has resurrected the Crypt of Shadows for the third time with a new #1 this Halloweeen season. The first attempt was a series that started in 1973 and lasted for twenty-one issues. The second attempt was the one-shot issue in 2018 to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Marvel Comics. This year's Crypt of Shadows #1 cover features Wolverine (formerly X23), Moon Knight, Elsa Bloodstone, Bloodline, Victoria Montesi, Man-Thing and two werewolves (one being Jake Gomez aka Werewolf by Night).
Victor Strange is this year's host of horror stories. He is the vampire brother of Dr. Stephen Strange and was Baron Blood II. He is now trapped in a mirror.
The first horror story within Crypt of Shadows #1 is an untitled ghost story featuring Blade's daughter, Bloodline. Next is "Werewolf by Moon Knight" featuring Jake Gomez aka Werewolf by Night and Moon Knight encountering another werewolf. Morbius the living vampire and Victoria Montesi, a Darkholder, appears in "Skin Crawl". "Down Came The Rain" features Elsa Bloodstone teaming up with Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch to revert Peter Parker back to normal after becoming the Man-Spider. Finally, Wolverine (formerly known as X23) battles Man-Thing for a very long time in "Endless Slaughter in the Infinite Swamp".
