The Werewolf by Night slashes his way into a new story that sees the monstrous anti-hero catastrophically lose control, much like Bruce Banner before.
Whiletheir relationship may seem like a bloody recipe for disaster, they are better suited for each other than could be expected. Elsa is brash and bold, whileJack, despite his monstrous mayhem, is sweet yet still savage.Elsa is the only person equipped and understanding enough to handle Jack’s transformations.
