Hellboy & B.P.R.D.

Enyorava aquestes històries de Hellboy. En aquest cas: nazis, micos espectrals, ànimes atrapades en gerros xinesos i miralls maleïts. Quina delícia. La primera història, especialment, és la que m'ha entusiasmat més, amb en Hellboy desplaçant-se a l'àrtic per investigar la suposada presència d'una cria Leggi tutto

Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. is a filler series pretty much by definition, but it's also a compelling filler since it lets us see more of Hellboy on the job, outside of the whole world-saving he did in his main book. So it's expected that these stories are going to be hit or miss. For me, the 1954 colle Leggi tutto

***Spoliers 'n' STuff*** ***Thou has been warned*** 1954 boilers down to a lump a filler than left me salty more than anything. Even though titled Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. the titular organization that, "bumps back," really only factors into these stories marginally at best. Nope, no Abe Sapien, nor Leggi tutto

Wonderful collection of stories that builds HB’s world and mythos. World: The art is fantastic, it’s moody, it’s beautiful and the colors are just perfect. That being said, I was somewhat irked by the art of Churchilla in the Hong Kong story. Being Chinese, I found the art done by someone who didn’t Leggi tutto

In these difficult times it's heartening to know that at least one comics hero who got his start punching Nazis is still upholding that grand tradition. In most other respects, sadly, this is a lacklustre Hellboy collection. Three stories, the first of which starts promisingly but abandons its cast

So far I've really been enjoying the Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. titles, and while I love the cover on this one, I didn't dig the stories quite as much as the two previous volumes. The opening story with its Nazi flying saucers and all is pretty great, and the last one has fun art and sets up a bunch o Leggi tutto
