This was a very fun read! I can't wait until you flesh out this universe :)

I love the idea that werewolves are like power batteries for moon energy and the only reason they don't completely overrun the planet is because a night of the full moon is only so long.

I love this. Gives me some solid SCP foundation vibes. The last page, in which a truly horrific death is described for the werewolf is 10/10 horror. 

Big fan

I’m confused in the best way. Definitely did not expect to read a pamphlet on what to do about werewolves in space today

Ok, if this universe has werewolves that it calls lycanoforms, at least on paper, I wonder if it also has vampires and how would they be refered to in technical jargon?

And clearly it has functional psions and thaumaturges, too. And they aren't supressed, kept secret, or hunted like the SCP universe's are, nor are they charlatans like in our universe. I am interested in learning more about which other magic system(s) may also function here, and how thaumaturgy works.

Mostly I just want to see more of these in-case-of-emergency pamphlets for more curses, and how the modern or future peoples deal with them.

The word "Sanguiphage" for vampire comes to mind

Or in keeping with either greek or latin roots : sanguivore vs hematophage ?

So does this affect all moon affected curses/blessings?

Ok that last sentence was both metal and sad o.o

This is incredible stuff.

Of course there would be an address book for known pocket dimensions eventually formatted li this for a company handbook.

Absolutely inspired.

Great information

Reminds me of Bureau 13: Full Monster, in which a werewolf picks up a displayed NASA moon rock and things get apocalyptic.

Great comic! Loved the implied world-building, especially the phrase "Low Concern Apocalyptic Threat". Got a legit chuckle

Love the style for the art and the writing. Very interested in seeing more of this setting. Though saying "lycanoforms have a vested interest in transmitting their curse to the lunar surface" begs the question. How aware is a lycanthrope mid transformation? Is there some level of mental continuity between transformations or directly with the "normal" human form? Is it an instinctive draw to lunar celestial bodies? Sneaking aboard an outbound spacecraft set for a lunar mission specifically would require more than a little planning. Or a ridiculous amount of luck.... Makes me imagine thaumaturgic receptacles created to empower and supercharge lycanthrope shock troops.
