Maybe Mignola's best ever Hellboy story to date? Beautiful, seamless marriage of art and story! Perfect!
Over the last few years, just when you think things couldn't get any worse; they do. Its hard to imagine there's a happy ending at the end of 'hell on earth', especially after this last issue!!...
On another note, Gustav Strobl steals every single issue he's in. can't wait for the few pages we get of him every other month. Shonchin shows his face as well for one of his biggest speaking parts...
Wow this whole issue had a feeling of impending doom and sheer gravity, the cover itself was pure ominous. I wonder what the remaining Oanes society member's agenda will be and how it will impact the...
Yeah that's the interview I had in the back of my mind! Makes me wonder how his character would have evolved further if he was still in the cast...
Only way it made sense in my mind, but think I'm making excuses, not sure if would have been what Allie intended! No personal slight on his usually solid writing though. I think Mignola and Arcudi...
Ahh cheers mate! I love sharing the folklore and urban legends of my town, seemed like a fun way to do it that was in tune with the series. It was Mignola's love of adapting regional folk stories...
Smashing first issue, some cool concepts here. Anyone else think the drawings of the extra-dimensional beastie looked a bit like Abe...?
Guess its just me and you missing the guy Zerodemon.
I imagine him sat in an office somewhere in the depths of the BPRD base, idly bending spoons till he's called to help find someone's missing...
Issue #3 has fast become my favourite comic of all time! Why? Because my first 'fan' letter got printed in the back, describing the sites of folkloric interest on the way to my comic shop but written...
Very astute way of putting it! I don't think he'd have been able to contextualise Abe's changing behaviour enough to want to pass judgement. Unless of course he had heard Damio or others say it and...
Fantastic art this issue, fun little story but Roger's voice was all wrong for me. Even when he was trying out his 'Gung-Ho' persona I don't remember him ever seeming that socially aware, or...
Bendis? What an unusual addition to the Mignolaverse! Read lots of his stuff over the years (hard not too as a marvel fan) and have found him to be really hit and miss. His Civil War Avengers tie...
Way back in 1996, the Hellboy - 'Wake The Devil' mini series introduced a new member to the BPRD enhanced talents team, Sidney Leach the self-styled human metal detector!
On his first mission,...
Yeah I guess so!
Issue 2 was a blast, so lovecraft! Tyler Crook is definitely my favourite of the post-Davis BPRD artists and seeing him do Victorian settings is a real treat! Nice theme emerging in the conflict...
Who knows what's going to happen over the next few years, the Mignolaverse is so dynamic, it so fun to read a continuity that is progressing and not just re-hashing a tried and tested status quo....
The Abe series seems to picking up direction again. Think Abe's reflections on his journey so far helped tie together the overall narrative of the series, which I feel has been a little fractured up...
Cool little story and a welcome change of pace after the more world-changing stuff that's been happening recently! Couple of quick thoughts:
-Nice how Kate's little act of empathy/kindness in...
Who says I meant as a member of the BPRD? That story is still un-resolved/ongoing, although I expect its beign left for Moon & Ba to do most of the big, story resolving things with Anders, he's still...
Amazing news, there's a wealth of stories waiting to be told here! More Simon Anders? More Stegner? Hellboy's first field mission, his humanity being officially recognized by the UN, Malcolm Frost. ...
Sometimes the stories reference real magical/mythical lore as well, in this case King Soloman is a figure in mysticism famous for capturing demons and making them work for him,his seal (which was on...
Wicked first issue, loved the Victorian penny dreadful style art change for the policeman's account of the murder.
All those creepy eels remind me of one of my fave moments from The Mighty Boosh:...
