Werewolf by Night: Red Band #10
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeWerewolf by Night: Red Band #10 serves as the closing chapter of Marvel's first dedicated Red Band horror ongoing — a ten-issue run that deliberately pushed Jack Russell back toward the brutal, monster-magazine spirit of the character's 1970s roots. The finale pays off an arc-long conflict with Lilith by having Jack physically destroy the new Darkhold and use its power to restore free will to every werewolf under her thrall, which is a meaningful narrative beat given how often the Darkhold has served as a recurring curse in Russell's history. The issue also re-establishes Dracula's old Transylvanian castle as a sanctuary for a newly formed pack — Jack Russell, Jake Gomez, and the returning Lissa Russell — quietly setting the table for the next chapter of Marvel's interconnected horror corner. As the capstone of the inaugural Red Band ongoing, it demonstrated that the mature-readers, polybagged format could sustain a full character arc, helping pave the way for subsequent Red Band titles like Punisher: Red Band and Daredevil: Unleash Hell.

The Red Band series launched in August 2024, written by Jason Loo — who had already established his take on the character in the Werewolf by Night: Blood Hunt one-shot — with pencils by Sergio Dávila, inking by JP Mayer, colors by Alex Sinclair, letters by VC Joe Sabino, and covers by E.M. Gist, under editor Devin Lewis. Marvel positioned the book as the character's most uncompromising solo run in his fifty-year publishing history, polybagging every issue with a Parental Advisory rating to signal its explicit content. Loo has said in interviews that his editorial team actively encouraged him to push the violence further, drawing inspiration from Marvel's classic 1970s horror magazines like Vampire Tales and Monsters Unleashed. Issue #10 brought in penciler Sergio Dávila for the finale after Ton Lima had handled art duties on the mid-series Lilith introduction arc.
