“IT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND TERRORIZED A CITY – FOR THREE MONTHS, WHEN THE MOON WAS FULL, IT APPEARED AND STALKED THE STREETS FOR PREY--! THE POLICE FINALLY CAPTURED THE BEAST BEFORE ANYONE WAS HARMED … AND WHEN THE WEREWOLF REVERTED TO HUMAN FORM, HE HAD THE WHEREWITHAL TO HIRE COUNSEL... ” Mild mannered Leon Reed, who only goes on a rampage three nights a month at the most, has employed the firm of Wolff and Byrd, a Brooklyn firm whose clientele have earned Alanna Wolff and Jeff Byrd the title “Counselors of the Macabre.”

Mr. Reed gets a break from the judge at his hearing: conditional dismissal of the charges. But the conditions of his dismissal are Reed’s pledge to the judge that he will work to overcome his lycanthropy and enter a rehabilitation program. But even his girlfriend, his lawyers and residential rehab at Sister Mary Maledict’s Halfway House of Horrors can’t keep Reed to succumbing to the dark forces of the full moon, especially when those forces are aided by a fringe group calling itself People for the Rights, Interests, and Concerns of Shifters, or PRICS.

Lash’s comic has evolved from newspaper strip to independent comic books to graphic novels and online webcomic. This is his first graphic novel collection to feature color illustrations and a predominance of landscape panels reflecting the new format he adopted in 2005. He retains the word play, subtle social and political commentary, and pencil and ink style that makes his work so distinctive and enjoyable since the series’ debut in 1979. ( )

A fun read but not much else. It feels real familiar and mundane. ( )

I'm glad to have funded this on Kickstarter, but I think Batton's writing suffers a little bit from the transition to a webcomic with 1 page per week since he tries to make each page stand alone. Still, that's better than no Supernatural Law so I'm content. ( )
