I loved Wolf Cop the movie. I bought the Blu-Ray as a blind buy when it came out, and it is still on the shelf. So, when I saw a listing for Wolf Cop the comic, I was stoked.
I was almost let down, but not in the end. The beginning is a bit rough, with some harsh dialogue and rough art. But once the story gets going, things start flowing. The story picks up and gets better and the dialogue gets a lot better.
In this issue Wolf Cop and his buddy are on the run and good old Wolfie is drunk. After being attacked by a biker gang, they discover the Meat Locker. At the meat locker there is a man who is eating the flesh of humans, and who has something in common with Wolf Cop, only bigger.
Why the book is not without its flaws, like the movie it is just a fun ride. It also captures the spirit, tone and characters from the movie – which is a plus.
Therein lies the book’s big drawback. One has to know the movie to know Wolf Cop. There is no explanation of who he is.
Well, here’s my solution: Go buy the Blu-Ray and watch the damn movie.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Fun issue that gets off to a rocky start, but delivers in the end.
RATING: 6.5
