Comic Review: Count Crowley: Reluctant Midnight Monster Hunter #2 (Dark Horse Comics)

It’s a return of the new reluctant TV host, in Dark Horse’s COUNT CROWLEY: RELUCTANT MIDNIGHT MONSTER HUNTER #2.

In this story by David Dastmalchian, Count Crowley is startled by an encounter with a violent werewolf just outside the TV station. Is she drunk again, or is this real? Is she in a full moon reality show, or imagining her own imminent demise?

Jerri is certainly down on her luck, and Dastmalchian plays it entertainingly. The story flows quickly, just like Jerri’s booze. But try as she might, trouble follows her like a bloodhound’s shadow.

The artwork by Lukas Ketner, with Lauren Affe’s colours, brings us belly up to the bar for this fun story. It’s tongue-in-cheek, heart-in-mouth, as we are both horrified and entertained by the hapless happenings with Count Crowley. Check this one out: good flavour, goes nice with water or a chaser…. a monster of a chaser, that is!
