I love the Saturday Evening Post look to that first one.

Judging by that cover and the title I suppose Hellboy is going to the suburbs?

My guess is the title refers to him having his freedom. He's lived his life behind the fences of the Bureau, somewhat of a secret. But after 1952, everyone in the world knows about him now. He's somewhat of a celebrity. My guess is that's part of the story, Hellboy having to deal with that.

Just realized these aren't out until the end of February. Bummer.

Has everyone read the first issue yet?

[topfueluhl]

I read the issue and I enjoyed it immensely. The funny thing is Hellboy is the same age as some of those kids. I can't wait for the next part!

[Nick Miller]

I will be getting the trade.

Rivera is just amazing, wow

[LobsterJohnson]

Wow, this was great. 1953 is shaping up to be even better than 1952.

SPOILERS COMING UP








I might be wrong, but I'm guessing the dog at the end is actually just a normal dog (probably Buddy), not a monster.

[The Lobster]

Wow, this was great. 1953 is shaping up to be even better than 1952.

The character work is already way better, enjoyed the banter between the team and the dog monster is a neat design - reminded me of Fullmetal Alchemist

I loved some of the character beats, especially with Hellboy and Archie and between Hellboy and the kids and the art was great but as an introductory issue the pacing felt a bit sluggish.
