| REVIEW |
| The first thing that drew me to this comic was the art style. The pencil and pen sketchy newspaper comic vibe of it just screams 90's indie. The comic is like a time capsule into that 90's - 00's period where you can get a look into the queer men's nightlife at the time. Comedy takes the lead, so don't expect any deep reflection from any of the characters, not that we need that in every queer media anyway.
There is a very cleay internalized homophobia we see with Bernard, the man before the weerwolf. The comic did not run into a conclusion, so the reader is left up to interpret if whether Bernard is a straight man in denial of his sexuality and his lychanthropy is his body's way of getting its true, primal desires fulfilled OR if Buster is actually a separate entity that exists inside Bernard and the two will always be at odds with each other. |
Buster is often seen looking for love on the dance floor

| You may also be able to order a physical copy of the comics in one booklet by searching for it online, if you so desire one. I have the physical copy, but the online version is more than great to read. |
