Hey everyone- brand new member of the community here. I noticed the Hellboy forum and simply had to drop a post about it.

I recently made a video about why Hellboy is such an important character, and such an expertly crafted book/universe. I did it as part of a new web show I'm doing, but I haven't officially made the video public yet. However, with the news from Mignola about him ending his run on Hellboy this year, I just couldn't help myself. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I wanted to share our thoughts on why the character has stood the test of time, and garnered the critical accolade to stand side by side with the big Marvel and DC characters throughout the year. And also why Mignola's decision to stop the on-going title speaks volumes for the character's reputation as one of the greatest comic characters in the last 25 years.

I really geek out on this, so I split it into two videos.

If you're interested, please give it a watch. If not, no harm done, and thanks for reading this far; you're a trooper!
