The Giant's Heroes-Issue 3

Andy had just witnessed a man run out of his house, rip off his clothes, and transform into a werewolf. He started to see more people run out of their houses and behave similarly.
"Next time, I'm definitely listening to the cat," Andy said to himself. He began to back out of the city slowly, he didn't have anywhere in particular to go, just anywhere else would do. At first he was successful, but then he accidentally backed into one of the werewolves. Andy didn't know if he could communicate with it or not, seeing how he wasn't sure if it was human, animal, or something else entirely. "Sorry," spoke Andy, "didn't see you there. So, if you'll excuse me, I'll just be on my way." However, as Andy started to leave, the massive werewolf stepped in front of him. As Andy stepped to the side, so to did the werewolf. Andy looked around to see several werewolves had surrounded him.
"To think that you are going anywhere before we are through with you is foolish," spoke an especially menacing looking werewolf. "And once we're done with you, there won't be anything left to go anywhere."
"Wait," began Andy, "you're werewolves, but you can talk?"
"Of course," replied the same werewolf that Andy assumed to be the leader, "At least some of us can. Now, enough chatting, you look too delicious to resist." Andy immediately tore the other set of arms out of his shirt, and got ready to take on the werewolves, seeing no other options. One leapt at him, and Andy sidestepped, knocking that werewolf into another. Another one charged for Andy, but Andy was able to use his four arms to throw him aside. However, one swiped at Andy from behind, knocking him to the ground, and a few surrounded him.
"Enough of this!" called the leader, "I'm hungry."

Zac had just rescued what looked like a boy from under a boat in the middle of a dessert. "What do you need to tell me?" questioned Zac.
"Everything," the boy replied in a more manly voice than should be expected from a character such as this. "Let me start with my name: Zane, Zane Hollinder. I have dedicated the better half of my life to stopping one man: The Liberator."
"The who?" questioned Zac, taking the boy in his arms, and beginning to fly, as he needed to find his way back to civilization.
"The Liberator, codename Andy Martin. I have been-" but he was cut off by Zac.
"Andy Martin? I know Andy Martin. You're going to have to explain this to me."

Brady was talking to a few of his Navy buddies. He found his x-ray vision to be something that required a little, getting used to. One of his friends was talking about his recent visit to the doctor's office, motioning to the pills that the doctor had given him that he had taken not too long before the conversation started. Suddenly, the young man began to choke, and seemed to not be able to breathe. He started to seizure and soon fell, unconscious, and after taking his pulse, everybody discovered that he had been poisoned, and now lay dead. Everybody was freaking out, and, using his x-ray vision, Brady looked at the business card in his friend's shirt pocket to see that the name on it read 'Doctor Moriarty'. Brady then burned with rage and said to himself, "I think that it is time to pay that old doc a visit. He then grabbed his yellow lab coat and left.

Shannon was trying to get her barrings after waking up from a car crash that had knocked her out and sent her flying from the car. She didn't know where she was, but she didn't recognize anything. She began to walk, but tripped after walking just a few steps. After a minute of taking a few deep breaths and sitting down in the middle of the street, she realized that she was still in Glendora, near her church. She decided to walk there, hoping to find someone there to help fix her car. However, after taking a few more steps, she fell again, and her consciousness once again left her.

In a high-tech, scientific DNA altering facility at night, a man, with large bat wings coming off of his back, lands down from the roof. After getting up from the landing he looks around, sees that the alarm is still set, but also sees a security guard running towards him. The winged man opens his mouth and breathes a strange gas from it that comes into the security guards lungs and strips him of oxygen, suffocating him. The winged entity then turned towards a vat with a strange liquid inside, reached his hand in, and pulled out a strange vial of something. As the hand with the vial came out of the vat it was revealed to be very scarred and burnt, but as the figure looked at the vial, in a very low, very brooding voice said, "Finally, the pieces are in place."

Several werewolves were closing in on Andy, and he feared for the worst. As one jumped at him he tried to swat it away, but it scratched his face. He backed up against a wall, as four of the bigger werewolves closed in on him. He tried to read their faces, see which one of them was going to go in for the kill, but couldn't tell. Then, suddenly, the biggest one of the four jumped at him, and all Andy could do was brace for impact, but no impact came. Andy opened his eyes and looked up to see that a large grizzly bear had hit the werewolf in mid jump. Andy looked in the direction the grizzly had come from to see several bears, and various other animals, all behind the cat from the inn.
"I told you not to stay here," reminded the cat, "but I figured you wouldn't listen to me, so I brought in some reinforcements." Andy, bruised, scratched, and bleeding from already fighting the werewolves, stood up with renewed strength, and a much appreciated small army of fearsome animals. Right as a horse came by, Andy jumped on.
"Now it's a bit more fair," told Andy charging in along with the other animals.
