    Default Rank the Mignolaverse series (Hellboy, Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien, etc.)

    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering which of the Hellboy series is the most popular, so I made a thread about it.
    The order I like them best is:
    1. Lobster Johnson
    2. Hellboy
    3. BPRD/Sledgehammer 44 (tie)
    5. Baltimore (although it's not technically a Hellboy series)
    6. Witchfinder
    7. Abe Sapien

    It's possible I'm forgetting a series or two.

    For me, Hellboy will always be number one with the others changing place from time to time. Currently I'd say Abe is in second, BPRD is third, Witchfinder is fourth, Baltimore is fifth and Lobster Johnson is bring up the rear as I felt the latest story should have been told in fewer issues. But like I said they are variable, sometimes BPRD edges out abe or Baltimore beats witchfinder or at its best it even beats Abe...but Hb alwaus sits at the top.

    1. Hellboy/BPRD
    2. Lobster Johnson
    3. Sledgehammer 44/Baltimore
    4. Witchfinder, though I feel like the latest mini is well above the previous ones.
    5. Abe Sapien

    No thanks. Such ranking wouldn't work for me because of how layered and organic and richly imaginative all this graphic storytelling is becoming to consist of.

    For me the whole Hellboy or Mignolaverse seems much about proving organic and imaginative, not as establishing *series* as seeming ornate, but for being just full-on imaginative more rather.
