The WbN one shot on Disney+ was insanely good. Got me excited for more supernatural Marvel stories.

[@BBmetalhead04]

After the release of the Werewolf by Night trailer, I knew I had to watch this.

[@sigmasix3719]

Brilliant art from Mike Ploog, a legend

[@OQuinlan-nz1md]

Yea it's great.

[@gagecrawley6223]

This was my dad’s favorite comic book, when he was a kid. I so wanna read this series, but it’s hard to find issues that aren’t pricey. Either way, i can see why my dad loved this comic. And you know what, I’ll probably love it, too. Well, here’s to a very Happy Halloween. Oh, and one more thing. Stay on the road. Keep clear of the moors. Beware the moon, lad.

[@samstoner4984]

You can get the complete collection.it's in book form.I have them

[@moses2626]

Excellent tale. I didn't expect to enjoy it, but I did.

[@MichaelJohnson-kx3ln]

70s marvel stories are bad-ass.

[@Hydrogenelfin404]

Bruh......

[@Hydrogenelfin404]

@@rjr.6263 how are they?

[@rjr.6263]

@@Hydrogenelfin404 lol not as bad as you'd think. Most of these stories in comics were very innovative for the time. And set groundwork for what the 80s had to come. Cool books tho.

Awesome! One of my favorite characters from Marvel Comics, good job and Happy Halloween!

Thank you so much! Happy Halloween!

@@MerryMarvelite very well done 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻are there more ?

[@grayj7441]

A great character from my childhood. I had a few of these comics.

[@leavonfletcher4197]

When I was a kid in the '70's, I really loved Warewolf By Night, Jonah Hex and Conan. Yeah. I was a weird kid.

[@theviker]

Leavon Fletcher , me too , also Dr Strange, Ghost Rider and The Swamp Thing,

[@johnmadison3472]

@@theviker Ditto for me..., Tomb of Dracula, Swamp Thing, DC horror comics like The Unexpected & The Witching Hour.

[@goredongoredon]

The 70's was a great time to be a comic reading kid - especially if you liked non-superhero comics. Some of my faves were Tomb of Dracula, Werewolf by Night, Conan, Skull the Slayer, Son of Satan, Ghost Rider and Deathlok.

[@dalexkom]

yea in 1973 started by reading kid colt rawhide kid,then jonah hex, Dracula lord of Vampires,werewolf by Night, Conan, Powerman,son of Satan,Master of Kung fu ,and iron fist classic comix.

[@davidvangerner7241]

Imagine if marvel made a 2099 version of werewolf by night and a 2099 version of tomb of dracula

[@Onibocho11]

My mother bought this for me when power records had 45 records in the back of the comic. I still have it to this day! Since then, I’ve followed and collected Werewolf By Night comic’s ever since.

[@milestrombley1466]

I can't wait to see Marvel's Halloween special.

[@Artisan1979]

This should be the next MCU movie

[@stevenseufert2520]

Friday

[@HailEarendil]

Be careful what you wish for..because Disney Marvel will be sure to ruin it.

[@har5814]

Wow and there's a black and white trailer now.

[@Akitsunesceilingfan]

I love the dramatic narration 👌👌

[@michaelgagliano450]

1st you service telling origins is a blessing thank you WEREWOLF BY NIGHT one of my favorite marvels! it would be marvelous if Marvel made a MIDNIGHT SONS featuring versions of team in different forms of members

[@markherron1407]

WEREWOLF BY NIGHT:Jack Russell's ancestor,Grigori Russof , had the misfortune to be bitten by a female werewolf in 1795 in his home 🏡 country of Transylvania. The curse eventually afflicted Jack. When he turned 18, Jack was transformed into a mindless, savage werewolf during the 3 nights of the full moon 🌝. The mystical beings known as"The Three Who Are All" gave Jack the power to change into a werewolf at will, while retaining his human mind. However, on the nights of the full moon 🌝, he still changes into a werewolf involuntarily and his mind becomes that of the beast. On those nights, he protects others by locking himself away in an escape-room . Jack worked with many heroes over the years, including joining the Midnight Sons in defeating a Zombie invasion from Earth 🌎-2149. He was part of the LEGION OF MONSTERS that turned the PUNISHER into Franken- Castle, and he became the guardian of WOLFSBANE'S child after she rejected the cub. Jack later had an affair with Shiklah, DEADPOOL'S wife, only to have Deadpool savagely attack him when he found out. Despite his horrific injuries, Jack survived! Happy Halloween 🎃 Blessings and hugs 🤗💞💓😊❤️💕💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!

[@capricornmadjai6556]

So jacks step dad is actually his a uncle🤔🤭🤢🤮 didn’t know that. great video love were wolf by night.

[@jamesmoss3424]

I'm glad that werewolf by night is coming to the MCU.😀👍🐺🌚

[@StoneyHoliday]

I want a Werewolf by Night streaming series with TV on the Radios "Wolf Like Me" as the credits song. Make it happen Marvel.

[@gatorcroc7212]

Id also like to see "Hungry like the Wolf" in the soundtrack too :D

[@darrellwaller6205]

October 7, 2022, it will come to pass.

[@doctordoomscousin9181]

I just want to see him in the Moon Knight movie.. please Marvel at least as a sub-villain

[@mattsmith3839]

Nope. He is getting his own Halloween special on Disney plus tho

[@mikevivian3648]

tHAT WS GREAT! tHE NARRATION WAS EXCELLENT! i LOVED THIS COMIC AS A KID AND KNEW THE VERY BASICS OF HIS ORIGIN BUT NOW i KNOW THE WHOLE STORY! tHANKS!

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

I love the Werewolf by night movie

[@rob-brown]

my favorite marvel character!

[@jordanbuchanan4284]

The marvel monster squad is the best marvel team

[@sade281]

Dope!! Looking for this book

[@scottdoesntmatter4409]

The comic itself has the hero constantly bemoaning his state, always afraid of doing harm. However, he never does anything evil, he just ends up fighting evil people.

[@samstoner4984]

That is great

[@twtfilmproductionthenametw1791]

Niceee

[@scribblebeck]

Just saw Disney+ show...Time for this video to shoot up in views!

[@thunderlightning1980]

I wish he was in Marvel vs Capcom. What a missed opportunity.

[@francom.2698]

Who just saw the trailer ❓😃

[@darrellwaller6205]

Can't wait!

[@denhamwall174]

This is my first vid from this channel, but I feel like I know he's a fellow Canadian just because the way he says "Car" and "House"

[@pimpharold1]

Next volcana and moon stone

[@KCComics]

Why does he refer to him as wolfman @ 4:20?

[@jalenikezeue4114]

I refuse to believe that this Grant guy Stood a chance against one of the most legendary supernatural creatures I mean he's just a man it's not like he a super soldier or a cosmic God it's not possible for a normal human being to fight a werewolf it's Savagery and Brute strength will Tear a Person a part peace by peace

[@SheriffOutlaw]

can't wait to see him in Moon Knight!

[@nlutdu]

Unfortunately it's unlikely but possible. But hopefully he's good in the upcoming Halloween Special

[@SheriffOutlaw]

@@nlutdu true. but throughout the recent trailers and that qr code that you can scan to read the comic with moon knight's debut might be a clever easter egg to his arrival either as a guest character or a set up for his halloween special.

[@samstoner4984]

Need an action figure

[@jalenikezeue4114]

I need a moon knight origin please please please

[@jalenikezeue4114]

Please please please can we have a origin for Moon Knight it would mean the world to me

[@mattsmith3839]

Love seeing these old comments wanting to see the mcu make 🌙 knight and werewolf. One down, one to go.

[@larryfoulkeofficial8609]

2 down

[@chewsdaym8]

Did they really call him Jack Russell because that’s a breed of dog???💀💀

[@HailEarendil]

And of course, the Disney Marvel show is more subversive trash.. I hate what Disney has done to Marvel.
