'Werewolf By Night: Blood Moon Rise' Comic by Director Michael Giacchino Delivers Another Tale of Terror

Michael Giacchino, director of Marvel Studios’ Special Presentation 'Werewolf by Night,' teams up with artist David Messina in 'Werewolf By Night: Blood Moon Rise,' a new comic book one-shot arriving in July.

Announced earlier today at Entertainment Weekly, Michael Giacchino, director of Marvel Studios’ Special Presentation Werewolf by Night, will write WEREWOLF BY NIGHT: BLOOD MOON RISE, a new Marvel comic book hitting stands in July.

The Academy Award-winning composer made his directorial debut in the acclaimed Marvel Cinematic Universe special. Now, he teams up with artist David Messina (ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN) to deliver another tale of terror starring Jack Russell—this time set in the Marvel Comics universe!


WEREWOLF BY NIGHT: BLOOD MOON RISE spotlights what makes Werewolf By Night such a captivating Marvel icon, with over fifty years of comics history – and a hundred times as many bodies in his wake! In addition to Giacchino’s story that pits the tortured hero against Dracula, the one-shot will also have a backup story by Jason Loo, writer of the current WEREWOLF BY NIGHT: RED BAND (2024) comic series, celebrating the character's history and future along with various bonus material.

"It could be a lost story from the original run, in a way," Giacchino told EW. "There's a fun twist to it that I think is going to be really interesting for people who are into Jack Russell and that lore."
