To me, 'not getting it' is synonymous with not finding the tone of the book is for you. It's not what you want, so you don't read it. Sorry you misunderstood my meaning there. I wasn't trying to say...
Abe Sapien is my favorite Mignolaverse book out right now. I'm so happy with how it's going, I'm worried the group of naysayers who don't 'get' it will complain loud enough to get it cancelled or...
I can't remember whether it was on Twitter or in a lettercol, but comments from Scott Allie have given me the impression that that spooky cavern-temple was actually off the coast of Rhode Island. I...
Huh!! Serves me right for not reading it... yeah, it didn't read as a hallucination to me at all. When he killed it you couldn't really see its head, which might have made it clearer. I just figured...
Every issue of this comic is amazing. The Fiumaras are just too good!!
Where was it said that the multi-headed wolf was a hallucination?
I mean, I'd really hate a third, but for mostly selfish reasons.
My dearest wish is something set in the early 80s with brand-new Liz and Abe and seasoned vet Hellboy leading the team... :')
And man, the art looks so good!! Ferreyra did some amazing work in Colder, so I'm really excited about seeing his work in BPRD. I'm so ready for this oneshot!
Check out these panels from Abe Sapien #15 from Juan Ferreyra's twitter!

(What a handsome Abe! And is that Ashley???? Exciting!)
It's nice to discover that a series that originally seemed like a bunch of self-contained stories actually have a lot of continuity threads between them. Shouldn't come as so much of a surprise to...
They turned back into skeletons! They're the two dead soldiers Hellboy met out in the graveyard with Captain Dulot in the previous issue.
Yeah, in retrospect, Liz almost certainly hasn't reached the limits of her power yet (if there are any limits!) I should have said that she is more in control of and more in tune with her abilities...
At least that's my take on it. I'm also taking into account how so many mystical characters have considered her to be so important or powerful, like Memnan Saa proclaiming her "Heca emen Ra" or...
Liz has flown (or levitated) at least three times before. First in meditation in Hollow Earth, then to kill Kathahem, then in meditation while with Memnan Saa. So that is a thing that she's always...
Thanks for reminding me of that podcast! The Hour Cosmic BPRD discussion was just a blast to listen to. Anybody speaking passionately about these comics and all their intricacies totally has my ear....
It could've had more impact, but at the same time I personally loved the little subtle wavy transformation line of Elena's back leg--but this is neither the time nor the place ;)
I know you don't skim! I was just so surprised a few months back to see the others so confused about details in the comics that were totally clear to me, and my friends, on the first read-through....
I'm so grateful for all the buzz Mignolaversity has helped to develop around HB, BPRD, and Abe Sapien in the past year or so. They've done such a great job organizing events, conducting interviews,...
I find myself consistently disagreeing with Mignolaversity reviews too, especially in their judgment of the Abe series and now Hellboy in Hell #6. Doesn't really feel worth it to read the reviews...
Oh man. Ooooooooooohhhhhh man. What an amazing story.
I think, of all the stories yet published in the Mignolaverse, this was absolutely the most gut-wrenching and personal. I haven't stopped...
Man, Mignola REALLY hates monkeys!
Gorgeous cover! I see a frog monster and a bell. I'm concerned...
It does send off a vibe... of helpfulness. A lot of people I've gotten into the books have point-blank asked me for a good reading order since there are a number of different series involved, and it...
