Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lawrence Talbot's Most EXCELLENT Adventure
Review: Lawrence Talbot, werewolf, is deep in trouble. The good people of Innsmouth are looking to end the world again, and are more than willing to sacrifice anything or anyone to do so.

While the eerie but lumpy artwork is certainly dismissable, Neil Gaiman's story is crisp and entertaining. Even though it lacks the depth of Sandman or the horror of Babycakes, Larry Talbot's story is a fun, five-minute read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: werewolves and armageddon
Review: While I enjoyed the original version more, this wasn't bad. There are details in the artwork that you might not notice the first time around, so it's nice to take another look at it every once in a while. I really enjoyed the story. The reason I didn't give this 5 stars was because the artwork tends to look a little goofy at times. The humans all have faces like wrinkled putty (Larry Talbot, on the middle of the cover is an example of this, although there are more awful looking examples in the book itself - the characters around him on the cover don't look that way inside the book). However, the quirky artwork usually works fine with the story, and the werewolf looks wonderful. I prefer Neil Gaiman's orignal version (just a story, not in comic book form, you can find it in _Smoke and Mirrors_), but this was nice to read and look at, even if I didn't agree with their interpretation of what Larry Talbot looks like.
