1. "Creatures on the Loose!" When the supernatural proves too difficult and dangerous for SHIELD, Nick Fury fights fire with fire! Introducing the top secret weapon in the battle against other worldly threats, the HOWLING COMMANDOS, a special covert “shock and awe” unit made up of Marvel’s greatest horror characters. Join Warwolf, the Living Mummy, Frankenstein's clone, the Zombie John Doe, Vampire by Night and a whole army of the macabre in this fantastic first issue! Note: Abominable Snowman, Blade, Brother Voodoo, Glob, Gorgolla, Hellstorm, John Jameson, Manphibian, Satana and Wherewolf by Night only appear in the Director's Cut Edition as 'inactive members' of the squad.
2. "Creature Feature" The worst-case scenario has come true. Merlin—the world’s most powerful sorcerer—has escaped from a high-tech S.H.I.E.L.D. installation. He’s not happy, and—after being encased in crystal all these years—none too sane. It’s up to the scariest batch of heroes you’ve ever seen to take him down...if they can. Monster action the Marvel way! Don’t miss this exciting second chapter featuring The Living Mummy, Warwolf, The Zombie, Nina Price (Vampire by Night) and more creatures than you can shake a wooden stake at.
3. Girl’s Night Out! After a male team goes missing in Merlin’s captured village, Vampire by Night and Lillith (who hate each other more than life itself) are dropped in, determined to find out what happened to the rest of the Commandos. Will they find the secret? Will they save their squad? Will they rip each other’s eyes out? Only Keith knows!
4. "Assault on Area 13" Trouble in Monsterdise! The evil Merlin is approached by Damien Hellstrom with a deal he can’t refuse: form an unholy alliance heck-bent on destroying the Howling Commandos! And you’ll never believe who’s changing sides to help them! It’s action, betrayal, romance, grossness and the strangest group of superhero monsters this side of the apocalypse!
5. "Destroy All Monsters" MORE MONSTER MAYHEM!!! Merlin, that nasty naughty evil magician, has torched and pillaged the Commandos home base, Area 13! What’s the standard monster reaction to being homeless? Take the fight to Merlin’s house! It’s a jolly good time in merry ol’ England when the Howlsters get hungry and go looking for evil sorcerer meat!
6. Hide yer grandmas! Lock up the puppies! It’s time for the Mighty Marvel Monsters to get their ya-ya’s out! Everything has led up to this, Merlin vs. the Howling Commandos! There’s gonna be biting, tearing, clawing, biting, smashing, brawling and biting! Who will survive!? Who will contrive!? How can you kill a thing that isn’t alive!?!?!?
