Grendel Tales omnibus #1.Bit of a mixed bag,but mostly pretty good.
Undertaker should be translated. It's the best Western in years (not that there's a shortage of that kind of story this side of the pind). Highly recommended.
Abe Sapien is indeed dark. It's also not the best Mignolaverse book I've read - even though that still means it's head and shoulders above most of the books set in other "universes". I'll definitely get the next volume as well then.
I was surprised at that. I've read all of these stories multiple times but it's been years and years. I liked only about half of this book although I'll pick up the second volume.
I only read the Mignola stuff through LE's or these hardcovers, so they're all blind buys for me. This one was the first I've read in that universe that I didn't particularly care for. I don't mind dark; I just didn't think it was that great (at least in comparison to the other stuff). I'll still get the next volume.
Honestly,I found Abe Sapien to be something of a watered down Walking Dead.
Ha, yeah. WD came to my mind as well a couple of times while reading it. But my main problem lies in the soul-searching aspects of the storyline. Not a fan of this kind of story in the first place and here it also just seems to meander along. Still, that makes AS sound worse than it is. It just doesn't hold up to BPRD or Hellboy in comparison.
