Von Allan's Wolf's Head Hits ComiXology

Wolf's Head, the ongoing comic book series by Ottawa comic book creator Von Allan, has finally come to digital comics platform ComiXology. Allan revealed the news in a press release, marking an expansion for the book to a worldwide audience. The first issue is available now, with the next nine to become available when processed.

'Wolf's Head' features Lauren Greene, a young woman who quits her job as a police officer after becoming frustrated with police violence. Coincidentally, as she's walking away from the police force over violence, a huge corporation across town is celebrating its creation of a brand new Artificial Intelligence (or AI) that it plans to use for war. There's a twist, though; before the organization can use its new AI for violence, the AI crosses paths with Lauren's mom, Patty, who is a janitor at the corporation. Patty is a kind figure and the AI, brand new to humanity, immediately bonds to her, rejects its creators, and escapes. Patty ends up with the AI and asks Lauren for help. Despite being broke and a bit lost herself, Lauren can't walk away from her mom and reluctantly agrees to help…though she can't begin to predict the consequences of that one hurried decision.

"Wolf's Head is an action-adventure series set in our real world and it takes place in real time," said Allan in the press release. "That means characters age, struggle to make rent and pay bills, and deal with day to day situations that so many of us know well. But it's not all struggle. 'Wolf's Head' is also an action-adventure story with some sci-fi elements, lots of wonder, and a whole lot of fun! I'm having a great time writing and drawing the series and I think that comes through in the storytelling and the characters."

Allan, a recipient of the Corel Endowment Fund for the Arts Award in 2014 and the CBC Trailblazer Award in 2019, as well as a finalist for the 2020 Peter Honeywell Mid-Career Artist Award, believes that ComiXology's format will be perfect for Wolf's Head.

"I've had a few other titles on ComiXology, but bringing Wolf's Head to this platform is a big step for the series," added Allan. "One of the things I love about ComiXology is their 'Guided View' technology, which basically guides the readers through the pages, panel by panel, so that they don't miss any pictures or text. I also like that ComiXology works on all devices, which really opens up the readership possibilities for 'Wolf's Head'. I'm really looking forward to hearing what readers think as they get into the series for the first time on digital!"
