Awesome, each issue of Hellboy feels like an event in itself.
I'm pretty new to Hellboy, but I've enjoyed In Hell a lot. Can't wait for more.
I'm the same.
I mean I've read mostly everything up to now, but with the Hellboy In Hell comics I've only been like "Wait. I need to read this". And then I do and it just grabs me with being both startlingly mistifying as well as just totally clicking with me. And I'll read it again and again.
I call that good reading .
Sheesh, that emoticon seems shockingly new and shiny. Like a lemon Ray Charles just made a fartjoke, but with no spittle!?

I'm terribly excited for this issue. I love these one shot stories.
It's so hard to stay away from the preview. Sometimes I look at the smaller thumbnail sized pages and tell myself that as long as I don't click to enlarge I'm okay. Soon!
I'm so pumped this is coming out soon, the wait between the last one and this one was maddening.
Just in time to read it in a tent on the long weekend in Canada!
I've been enjoying this series so much. Hell is a lot of fun. With all the years of hints of Hellboy's future, it's been a bit like being a kid and hearing about Disneyland*. And now the family has finally made the trip.
*If Disneyland had monumental statues pouring out rivers of blood.
That is probably the coolest description of this book I've ever seen, if Scott or anyone else up there is reading this you have to put that on the trade cover next time!
But seriously, awesome issue! I loved seeing the Vampire of Prague again though I wish we saw more puppets! Another thing I liked was the use of the bird image again as a symbol of souls reaching salvation and it seems like we're seeing more and more of them as Hellboy makes his journey through Hell, which certainly gets me wondering about what his presence is causing.

I was surprised that he was in it, but pleasantly surprised! Honestly I was a little disappointed with the original Vampire of Prague story because not being drawn by Mignola it just felt off, more than other comics he hasn't drawn. And I really wanted to see how the vampire and all that would have been with Mike's hand at the wheel. Well now I know!
Honestly when the guy showed up at first I thought it was the guy from 'The Island', I forget his name, but you know Mr. Secret History of the World. I would have also been pleasantly surprised if it was him.
Whoa. It was good As always. Our good old Vampire guy was surely threatening this time.

And I loved how Mr. Mike's old sketch slipped into this issue!
This was so good! These last two issues have really shown that Mike's enjoying what he's doing. You can see the love pouring off the pages.
