Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) @Little-Star, it's an oversized/longer comic book, I would suppose. if it doesnt count, I'll take it off then. also, if each part is about the same length (there will be three parts) but less than 500 pages. and - only part 1 is published. part 2 should be early next year; who knows when part 3 will actually be published.....

Problematic characters are addressed in playful ways. They're allowed to develop and face the consequences of their actions.

Throughout this compilation of his adventures, he begins to face who he was made to be and must decide what to do with that fact. Rating: 8/10 Review: I was skeptical of the superhero-esque art style at first. But throughout the reading, despite cliche villains such as Nazis, I found myself pleasantly surprised with plot twists and the amount of character Hellboy has in comparison to what was portrayed in the movies. To catch plot hooks before they arise, because there is very well done foreshadowing, I recommend a careful reading. Concept art is in the book's back! Share this post Link to post
