I would say it is somewhere between the academic world and the general comic book/HB fan community. At least, that was our target of accessibility.

I find all this interesting because I was a contributor to a Hellboy volume published by Sequart, and while there was a delay in getting it to press, ultimately it was released (with cover art...
Well, that explains the mystery! Was it really a new member or spambot?
Why resurrect a thread that has been dead for over 2 years?
That is actually one of the few Hellboy comics I do not own. I feel like I need a few goals to keep striving for. My copy of San Diego Comic Con Comics #2 is signed by Mignola, so that would be the...
Yeah, why walk when you can fly or your house walks around for you. Damn, magic is convenient.
Pretty sure they are peg legs, a la Pirate Pete or Baltimore.
Reader subject position is certainly a factor. I started reading HB in 1996, so my perception of the narrative is going to be a bit different than a new reader who can basically get 25 years worth...
Ah, the winsome appeal of nostalgia. I'll be honest: I'm reading these books half-heartedly. It's nice to see the "old Hellboy", but these little vignettes are narrative curiosities. Ragna Rok...
I can't say I'm exactly surprised that Mezco is doing a variant - yes the film drastically underperformed (for good reason) - but the initial order for the One:12 sold out, and Mezco loves to milk a...
I just finished reading The Art of the Movie book, and some of the concept art is well worth seeing. Apparently there were some deleted characters (Elves and Hounds of Hell) and/or scenes, so maybe...
I would challenge the filmmakers to come up with a completely original story and not borrow any plots from the comics.
Started reading and collecting in 1996
Hmmm...well, I'd still like to read the script (maybe with some Del Toro drawings to annotate it).
Hey Hellboarders, I participated in a podcast talking about the Mignolaverse book and the upcoming movie, please check it out:

I think it would be neat for Del Toro to do HB3 as a limited issue comic series or graphic novel. (Kind of like what Whedon did with Buffy, Angel, Firefly, etc.)
I'm seeing the movie at 10pm, so I'm not really concerned about reviews/spoilers.
What I am a little concerned about is the characterization of Hellboy in this particular adaptation. He's feeling...
IIRC it was this one:

I am kind of bummed my local theater - which has a great 3D IMAX setup - is only showing Hellboy in 2D. I looked online at the advance screenings (2 for the night of April 11th), and only 1 advance...
I got one, too. They also had the 27x40 theatrical poster, but sold out before I got one. I usually use my reward points for free tickets and forget to check for merchandise.
The movie theater chain Regal Cinemas has a rewards/loyalty program called the Crown Club, and they have a premium for redemption if anyone is a member and wants to pick one up.
13"x19" and...
I never got a chance to try the Rogue release - but the company was nice and sent me a pristine bottle for free - and with the Gigantic release, I've called a few importers but with no luck, so I may...
My LCS had 2 guys silkscreening t-shirts in the parking lot, so I bought one of those to support the store, then inside they were giving away the Seed of Destruction #1 anniversary reprint, 2...
$34.99, hardcover, collects volumes 1-4
2 covers, both look great!
