Reviewer Notes
This series has been one bumpy road, however we have finally arrived at the conclusion of Capwolf and the Howling Commandos. Was this story really needed or wanted? I’m not sure. For any hardcore World War II buffs reading this miniseries, I honestly believe they would not like it based on the inaccuracies in the German equipment and vehicles alone. The German military had many groundbreaking designs that were way ahead of their time. There really was no need to change history.
For those that are looking for a unique horror comic to read, I guess this one will do. However, the story really isn’t original. DC Comics literally just did this exact same storyline with Sgt. Rock and a bunch of zombies. Plus look no further than the SyFy for a laundry list of similar themes and ideas.
I’m giving issue four a humble three out of five star review. As a series I also give three out of five stars. The ending here really seemed forced, and don’t get me started on the kiss scene. I always thought of Dum-Dum Dugan as the John Wayne type, not Clark Gable. Gag me with a spoon.
