Werewolf by Night Vs. Hawkman

 

This would be a savage battle, to be sure - but one that I would be thrilled to read, especially if a comic legend like Joe Kubert or Gil Kane was on the art chores.

I would purchase ALL these comics!!!

I say it was a fake werewolf created by Hawkman's old foe Mark "the Matter Master" Mandrill.

Carycomic said...

I'll go one step better and say that Matter Master had somehow created a Bizarro version of Werewolf Jimmy Olsen! Which, of course, is my humble way of requesting a third appearance by the latter character. I mean, let's face it. The first two appearances were two thousand, seven hundred and nine issues apart!*

*STF #769 and STF #3478, respectively.

Well, regardless of who's behind things, I think that this is definitely Jack Russell, most likely trying to investigate who's behind this slaughter that's leaving him as the fall guy. But how, when he's in this form, would he communicate this to Hawkman?

An October cover featuring all of comicdom's werewolves would be a hoot.

First Mephisto enters the House of Mystery and now this? Halloween has arrived early this year and I love it! ❤️

Joe Kubert's Kartar??Yes!!! The quality is so MISSED!!
Jack-Wolf can't think, or has something changed?
Does this mean a Youngish Frankenstein or Drac is looming in the wings?? Or...Mr GILL-Man is back for a visitation?
Don't forget Ayegor! He's such a help.
Can Carter's absorbascon act on Mephisto? It would be the purpose of it's existence.
So many ways to use it these days!!

Another great cover for another great battle. Good choices here!

Is a Hawkman able to hit a werewolf with a mace? Is there any way of them teaming? Would this be a filler?

Bob Greenwade said...

@Fishing: If the mace doesn't work, he can always try pepper spray.

Provided the pepper spray is mixed with silver nitrate.

Carycomic said...

Or, failing that, he could borrow Norrin Radd's Silver Surfboard!

I'd like to see a bunch of covers where Hawkman or Hawkwoman's ancient weapons actually defeat a foe with no help from anyone.

While I loved both in the JLA, neither was going to bring down Starro, Shaggy Man or Amazo with any of that outdated stuff.

The other Leagues must've always thought to themselves it's a total waste of time for them to be swinging any of that stuff in midair.

Pre-crisis Batman wasn't any better but at least they gave him more powerful weapons as time went on.

@Anon202: blame it on the old (but now thankfully obsolete) Comics Code Authority.

@Carycomic: Michael Jackson would've probably blamed it on the boogie.

Sorry Carycomic but I disagree. Other heroes had weapons capable of defeating villains in that era. Just not those two. Marvel's Falcon or Angel wasn't any better but the latter's transformation to Archangel helped him out plenty going one one one with powerful foes.

^ one on one (not three ones in a row lol).

At least the Falcon's Wakandan-made wing suit was a vast improvement over swinging like Spidey and Daredevil from the dubiously named "hawk hook."
