Hellboy: The Fury #3 Review – Wow

by Chad under READ on Aug 11th

So I just finished reading through all three issues of Dark Horse’s Hellboy: The Fury and it was impressive. The story feels very simple and straightforward, basically you have Hellboy fighting Nimue, an ancient sorceress, to save humanity (okay, maybe that doesn’t sound real simple but it feels like it). One of the great things about this fight is it is just pure unadulterated Hellboy pounding on Nimue and...

Here’s another episode we recorded in the early morning. All of us were a little bit on the sick side. I was a lot a bit sick. Hilarity, as always, ensues…

Comic Review, Hellboy: Double Feature of Evil

by Fatty The Hutt under READ on Nov 17th

I love the Hellboy one shots! I love the big story arcs too, but its nice to get a break from them every once in a while and do something small and self contained. What could be better than a Mike Mignola Hellboy one shot? Well for starters this is a double feature, and it is drawn by Richard Corben (yes, that Richard Corben!) making his fifth visit to the Hellboy universe! Because I’m writing this, and that means you...

Comic Review: BPRD Hell on Earth New World #4

by Fatty The Hutt under READ on Nov 11th

An open letter to Mike Mignola Dear Mike, Today I read the latest installment of BPRD. I just wanted to thank you for writing a comic that I need to read, and that I look forward to every month. After I pick up an issue I cannot wait for the next one to come out. How you keep the various series that you write fresh and exciting just astounds me. The thing that I enjoy most is that even after all the comics of yours...

Comic Reviews: Hellboy Beasts of Burden

by Fatty The Hutt under READ on Oct 28th

I love a good one shot! Occasionally it’s nice to have a self contained story that doesn’t leave you scrambling for crossovers and back issues, or pining for next month’s issue. The catch is that you never know what you are going to get with a Hellboy one shot. The last one shot was about Mexican Luchadores, this issue is a cross over with Evan Dorkin’s “Beasts of Burden.” This issue is written by Mike Mignola...

Book Review: The Art of Drew Struzan

by Ryan Thomason under READ on Sep 27th

I don’t know anything about movie poster art, art in general or am much of an artist myself, obviously. I do have to say, that I am very glad to have come across this book, and learn from what seems to be a dieing breed. Drew Struzan has worked on some of the most iconic movie posters that you can remember. As I turned the pages I was brought back in time to some of the movies that I loved during my childhood, and...

BPRD Hell on Earth New World #2

by Fatty The Hutt under READ on Sep 10th

Mignola is killing me! Something big seems to be coming in the Hellboy universe. Depending on how you look at what is happening, the story could affect every Hellboy associated book. The problem we have is that all we’re getting are more and more puzzle pieces. We can’t even begin to see how they will fit together or even if they will fit together. This is all building toward something, but I have no idea what that...

Hellboy: The Storm #3

by Chad-san under READ on Sep 4th

And with this, the third issue, Hellboy: The Storm is over. After the six issues of Darkness Calls and the eight issues of Wild Hunt, the three issues of The Storm seems rather small. Upon reading the stories, the name reminds me of the phrase “The calm before the storm.” After all, it appears the storm is coming, and Hellboy will undoubtedly be in the center of it.

BPRD: Hell on Earth: New World #1

by Chad-san under READ on Aug 11th

Yes, this book really does have three titles. The main title is BPRD. The secondary title is Hell on Earth. The third title (that will go on the next four books after this as well (it is a five part mini-series)) is New World. Did you get all that? Good. Did you buy it yet?

Baltimore: The Plague Ships #1 (of 5)

by Chad-san under READ on Aug 4th

In Baltimore: The Plague Ships, Dark Horse Comics would like you to introduce you to Lord Henry Baltimore. World War I has just ended, but for Lord Baltimore, the war continues as he hunts vampires. Baltimore was originally conceived by Mike Mignola (Hellboy) and fleshed out with the help of writer Christopher Golden (too numerous books and comic books to mention here).

Abe Sapien: The Abyssal Plain #2 did not end like I expected it would; not in the least. That is among the highest praise I can give, I believe.

A God Somewhere – Review

by Xopher Reed under READ on Jul 21st

When I got the office copy of A God Somewhere in a few weeks ago. I had no idea what to expect. Of course I knew the creators who made the book, writer John Arcudi has been around for years writing stuff for B.P.R.D., Predator, The Mask, Young Avengers, and Hellboy, and the illustrator Peter Snejbjerg isn’t a name you easily forget once you learn how to pronounce. I’m serious, look no further than the work...

Hellboy: “The Storm #1″ It’s Walking Dead with Armor, What’s Not to Love?

by gujamie under READ on Jul 9th

Okay let’s the disclaimer out of the way first. I’ve been reading comics for more than a few years now, but for some reason I’ve never gotten around to picking up Hellboy. It’s not because I didn’t like the concept or the idea of the story, I just never really found the time. So, when I got the chance to review the first issue of a new story arc I jumped at it, and I have to say, I’m glad...

Hellboy: The Storm #1

by Chad-san under READ on Jul 8th

Has it really been more than half a year since the last issue of Hellboy: The Wild Hunt? With the great BRPD comics going at the same time, sometimes I do not notice I don’t have a new Hellboy comic around. However, once I got Hellboy: The Storm #1 in my hands, I was a very, very happy camper.

James Reviews, Hellboy: The Storm #1

by James Helsby under READ on Jul 8th

Hellboy: The Storm, represents my first foray into the Hellboy comic franchise. I’ve read many comics over the years, but have never been into a Hellboy cover before. But, as I love Dark Horse, and Hellboy is a well known and well respected franchise, I thought it was about time.

New Comics Wednesday: Abe Sapien: The Abyssal Plain #1 (of 2)

by Chad-san under READ on Jun 30th

If you were waiting for more news on the big revelation of Abe Sapien in the last BRPD issue (BPRD: King of Fear), this comic will not stop your waiting. Abe Sapien: The Abyssal Plain is a two issue mini-series (with the first issue out today, June 30) that again dips into the untold past of the BPRD. As much as I love the huge over-arching story that has been threading through Hellboy and BPRD, I like the smaller,...
