As an author, Larry Hama has always made the most of his opportunities, and the Kickstarter campaign forMounties vs. Werewolvesis just the next extension of that.
The Kickstarter page forMounties vs. Werewolveslays out the storyline of the new series,setting up a classic horror scenario in the wilds of Canada:
In 1922, David Lawrence, a veteran of the Great War in France, and a Deputy Inspector in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is assigned to a remote outpost in northern Alberta. The quiet posting he had been expecting turns out to be anything but. The small rag-tag unit he commands is actually a top secret sub-agency whose mission is to kill werewolves and prevent them from spreading south to prey on larger settlements and population centers.
For fans of Hama’s work,Mounties vs. Werewolvesis a fun next step in what has been a kind of creative renaissance;G.I. Joehas had a resurgencethanks to Skybound Entertainment, with both a rebooted version of the seriesset in the shared Energon Universe continuity, along with a revival ofG.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, written by Hama.
Larry Hama started his career in comics working as Wally Wood’s assistant in the early seventies, after which he joined Neal Adams’ Continuity Associates. After working as a penciler, Hama would eventually make the jump to being an editor and writer in the 1980s. By his own admission,Hama took the job writing theG.I. Joecomic because no other writer at Marvel wanted the task. As an author, Larry Hama has always made the most of his opportunities, and the Kickstarter campaign forMounties vs. Werewolvesis just the next extension of that.
Larry Hama’s knack for characterization and action/adventure plots make him uniquely suited to the comics medium, and it seems as thoughMounties vs. Werewolveswill be continuing this proud tradition.
