Sinossi
Le sei storie contenute in quest'ultimo volume dedicato a Abe Sapien ripercorrono le avventure di uno dei personaggi più oscuri della saga di Hellboy: dalla sua entrata nel Bureau assieme a Hellboy, alla guerra alle rane, in cui compare un ormai defunto Roger l'omuncolo, fino alla sua attuale forma evoluta. Adesso Abe può volgere uno sguardo alla sua vita precedente, a quando era solo un uomo, nell'Inghilterra nel 1850.

Deeper dives. World: The art is good, especially the second story, the artists give a flavor all their own. The world building is the core of this book with bits and pieces of Abe's story and journey given new depth and context. The best part. Story: Some of the stories are substantial, some just ch Leggi tutto
Abe shines brightest in the single-issue tales and short arcs contained here, making up for the disappointing storyline of the last 6 volumes.

In "The Land of the Dead" Abe hunts vampires in underwater Mayan caves. The art is by Michael Avon Oeming. It is severe and angular, wh Leggi tutto
As with any "anthology"-type collection of short, not-directly-connected stories, this volume collecting the various "one shot" stories that broke up the regular continuity of the recently-completed Abe Sapien series is a mixed bag. The first story, with art by Michael Avon Oeming is a lot of fun, w Leggi tutto
Once again, all of the stories here were great. But wow, the clear standout is "Witchcraft & Demonology". I've never seen an entire comic done in that creepy medieval art style before. It's genuinely spooky and at times quite chilling. It was very fitting for the subject matter, and elevated an alre Leggi tutto
