    Default Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1953 #1 — The Phantom Hand & The Kelpie

    I figure we should have a thread for this too. It comes out October 28. Stories by Mike Mignola, art by Ben Stenbeck.

    This sounds like a real throwback to classic Hellboy. Can't wait to see Stenbeck tackle HB, as he did a great job on his Hellboy Animated mini-comic all those years ago.

    Yeah, I remember Mike saying he wanted to get back to Hellboy: Blue Collar Monster Hunter and it looks like this is his outlet.

    Mine too, don't get me wrong I love all the big world building stuff about the crown and hell but the simplicity of a big guy with a stone hand punching monsters in the face was what drew me to the character and I love those stories the best.

    Loved The Phantom Hand, and love that it was mentioned by Harry back in chapter one of Darkness Calls.

    I won't post any spoilers before the west coast is even awake, but I enjoyed this issue. I love a nice Hellboy short story.

    I made time to write a quick review.

    Tomorrow there will be an interview with Ben Stenbeck, and then on Halloween... well, you'll see.

    Awesome! Looking forward to the interview, and whatever is announced on Halloween.
    Haven't got around to reading the issue yet, but it looks great!

    Great review. I agree with everything you said. A couple nice shorts that give us a little more insight into Hellboy's early adventures, and a look into his time with Bruttenholm.

    Wow, this comic was fantastic! I hope Ben Stenbeck comes back to draw more Hellboy after next month's issue.
