Publisher’s description

This issue features four stories. "On the Road" starring Wolverine and the Hulk. "Part 6: Old Friends" "Children of the Beast" starring the Werewolf. "Chapter VI: Reborn to Be Wild!" - The battle is joined between the werewolf biker gang who call themselves the Braineaters and Sword, the holy army led by Silver Dagger. The pack leader Layla falls to several rounds of silver bullets fired by a Sword soldier. The Werewolf (Jack Russell) howls in fury and turns to attack silver Dagger. The man-beast dodges Dagger's weapons and gets close enough to slash his foe. The Werewolf ends the fight with a bite to Silver Dagger's arm. He angrily surveys the carnage, with both sides decimated, then runs off, leaving the battlefield behind. Two of Silver Dagger's soldiers approach their leader, and, seeing the bite wound, declare him unclean and raise their weapons toward him. Some time later, Jack Russell roams the highways on his motorcycle with a new purpose in life: to assist those whose lives have been touched by the paranormal. "Neptune's Eye" starring the Sub-Mariner. "Part 3: Sending Them Home" "The Real Thing" starring the Punisher.
