Werewolf by Night (Marvel NEW)



Werewolf by Night is a comic book series that is part of the Marvel NEW initiative. Perhaps the most unique addition to the initiative, the Werewolf by Night comic distinguishes itself from other books in Marvel NEW not only by being the first supernatural series but also for having a format similar to a mix between an ongoing series and a limited series. However, this series leans more towards the latter although having multiple story arcs akin to the former.

As of the rest of the Marvel NEW comic books, this series is set in the middle of the 21st Century, during the 2010s. The series started by exploring the titular anti-hero's early life before branching off to other stories. The issue is planned to have around twenty (more or so) issues featuring different story arcs akin to an anthology. This series is created by Jacky 50A.

This series is a  Marvel MAX  title, recommended for mature readers.

Changes
There are some changes made to Marvel NEW's mainstream incarnation of the Werewolf by Night. Those changes are:
 * His real name, "Jacob Russof", is changed slightly into "Jakob Russof" in order to reflect his change in origin, as well. Nevertheless, he goes by the name "Jack Russell" by now, which is more similar to his updated name than his former name.
 * As said above, Jack has some changes in origin.
 * Instead of being born in Transylvania, Russof is born in Latveria but his Eastern European heritage still remains. He's also born in the late 11th Century, with his lycanthrophy granting him the immortality to live up to now.
 * Jakob is the first member of the Russof family to be afflicted with lycanthrophy instead of Grigori Russof, his grandfather in this series instead of ancestor.
 * How the Werewolf by Night came to be would have no connections whatsoever to the High Evolutionary, Chthon, and the Darkhold.
 * Russof fought in both World Wars and he was a mercenary that worked during the Crusades.
