This anthology contains a variety of werewolf tales showcasing a number of writers and artists. There are no silver bullets or pitch fork carrying villagers in this collection focusing on the cuddlier side of werewolf life.
“Mooning problem” by Kendra Wells was my personal favorite for it’s exploration of some of the more practical aspects of transformation. The wonderfully bizarre “in the hand of fate” by Zach Lehner was a close second.

There’s lots of good LGBTQ+ representation in this book. My Cute Girl was my favorite story in this anthology.

Dylan, look at the opportunity! We can be puppies together!
This is a simply delightful comic anthology, filled with the sweetest werewolf-themed stories, most of them just slice of life. My favorites here include:
Aloha Moon by Rhiannon R-S & Cat Farris: a short YA snippet set in Hawaii where werewolves are suddenly real, and the awkward new girl turns out to be one, and talking some stuff out early just may create lasting changes for the better.
Wolfing Lessons by Molly Muldoon & Kel McDonald: in which a guy isn't too happy about being turned into a werewolf, while his werewolf boyfriend sees this as a Great Thing and Really Wants to Help him adjust. Things get rocky before they get sweet.
Moon Time by Alina Pete: sisterhood, growing up, and Native American werewolves. I loved the bond and the subtle rivalry between the twins here, and how they could be simultaneously at odds and super close.
Animal Lovers Only by Seanan McGuire & Caitlin Like: it's all about finding love in your 30s when you already have a lot of baggage, kids from your previous marriage, and allergies. Allergies are the biggest problem.
Really though, pretty much every story was engaging in some way and made me smile. I also loved how diverse the anthology is. There are characters of different races, there are lots of queer characters, there are different body types. And a lot of the stories focus on family, friendship, and mutual support in a way that I found super heartwarming.

This has a variety of sweet, fun comics about werewolves that avoid the trope of brutish, violent creatures. Many of them focus on family, or falling in love. My favorite is Aud Koch's spare, haunting piece that has a quiet steadiness.
