OMG!!! OMG!!! SPOILER ALERT….. There is a MUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t even start breaking down this issue without starting by saying it is hilarious. If you didn’t read my review of The Bride of Wolfman, then you are not in the know of how much anticipation I when it came to reading this issue. Unlike it’s predecessor, this book is one complete story from start to finish! The art by Castellano fits so well with the story. He has a great grasp on how to really capture the comedy bits, and still nail the semi serious scenes. A good way to look at this is imagine your favorite comic strip is a TV show, it’s short but delivers daily. Now imagine what that strip would have to do to become a movie, being more drawn out but still delivering the comedy a consistent basis and now  you have the House of Wolfman. Gruba delivers on the dialogue, just as well as Rene does on the art. They are a comic book comedy tandem to be reckoned with, they just need to get more issues out! I love this book, I love this cast and the only thing I want more of is the Mummy! A MUST buy for fans of anything horror who like to laugh.
