WOLF'S HEAD Reviews

What Critics Are Saying

Midwest Book Review on WOLF’S HEAD Volumes 1 and 2: This new and original, full color, deftly scripted, impressively illustrated comic book series is a fully engaging, page-turner of a read and would prove to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition to personal reading lists and community library collections.

Frank Plowright, The Slings & Arrows Graphic Novel Guide on WOLF’S HEAD BOOK 1 (HARDCOVER) — WE ALL WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD: “By the end the ‘We All Want to Change the World’ title has taken on a different meaning, and over an enjoyable 160 or so pages Allan has supplied a drama to lose yourself in, and set up a lot of potential going forward. In an age of effects wizardry being cheap, TV production companies could do far worse than look in his direction.”

David Beard, Writing Studies BA Program Coordinator, Director of Master of Professional Studies Program, Professor of Rhetoric, International Journal of Comic Art on WOLF’S HEAD BOOK 1 — WE ALL WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD: “In a longer work like WOLF’S HEAD, the interplay between the fantastic dimensions of his stories and the tiny details of life in his art are what makes his voice unique in contemporary comics. WOLF’S HEAD is at its best in the small things — Lauren’s search for meaning after leaving the force, her reunion with her mother. The story of the self-aware machine is the tiny twist that helps bring Von Allan’s gift for bringing the everyday into view.”

Philippe Leblanc, The Beat on WOLF’S HEAD Volumes 1 and 2: “Ultimately, this comic has a strong enough hook that it makes me want to revisit it and see more of it… Once it’s passed, WOLF’S HEAD becomes an interesting thriller about a flawed character’s redemption, her personal issues and a mild revenge story and the danger of trying to control forces we don’t understand. I was disappointed when I finished the second issue of WOLF’S HEAD. Disappointed in a good way as I didn’t have more to read at that point.”

What Readers Are Saying

Mike Levin (Goodreads): “WOLF’S HEAD [volume] 1 took about four pages to draw me into the narrative swirling around Lauren and her mom… Overall a great introduction to what I hope is a long series.”

WordMechanic (Goodreads): “I loved reading this book and recommend you try it out… It’s a fascinating fusion of our society’s potential and problems wrapped up in an exciting, sci-fi flavored adventure.”
