Loving Latour's artwork. Tons of character and charm.
Awesome! Congratulations, man. That's a match made in heaven.
I'm enjoying the book. It's the only one I'm getting from Dark Horse right now.
If you die in Hell, where do you go? Is Astaroth destroyed, or is he just... elsewhere?
I really don't like that this is becoming a regular thing.
It's bad enough that most comics don't show what's going on in the actual books, but showing scenes that will never be otherwise...
They're doing Chogs (from fellow Image book Chew) which my wife and I both want.
I do like that nail... have to see it painted up.
A mostly-human BPRD would be an easier sell if Dark Horse wanted to make a t.v. show, or a movie spinoff. Save the budget for the monsters, not the main cast.
If Hellboy in Hell ends up being an eighties-style buddy action-adventure with Edward Grey, I'd be totally fine with that.
As it is, I found the first issue to be meandering and self-indulgent,...
Got caught up last night.
I'm taking the book off my pull list.
I'm still enjoying the book, but the lightning in a bottle that made the earlier volumes so fantastic just isn't there for me...
It's going to happen. Mike and I talked about it at the Montreal show a bit, they want to shift BPRD away from the superpowered guys. I seem to recall that Scott Allie would be helping write it.
"Skelton-head"? Does drinking it make you do this:

Yes, it's too small.
It was at the Montreal show last weekend.
I mentioned how happy I was Mike was back on Hellboy. When Mike said, "You wanna see it?" an involuntary shudder of glee went up my spine. It must have...
I got to take a look at a bunch of uncoloured, unlettered Hellboy in Hell pages last week. Amazing stuff. Tons, and I mean tons, of crazy monsters. Can't wait to read it properly.
I'm assuming he'll be there all three days. I've got a table there (it's my home town) but I'm going to make a point to stop by and say 'hi'.
I'd heard it was either great or terrible (depending on whom you speak with) but I'll probably check it out. Troy Nixey is a gifted artist; he drew Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham for Mike...
Sounds good!
Tell me about it!
I'll probably do the Bambi thing and say nothing at all from here on out. I might need to stop reading the book for a year or two and pick up a trade or two when the dust settles.
You're probably right. You're always the voice of reason, dude. I appreciate that.
I'm really frustrated with the entire line of books right now and I'm trying to communicate my frustration...
You'd be surprised if he didn't have a mummy minotaur. Exactly that one thing. Right.
I know you're being good fans here. This just wasn't a very good comic, guys.
The more I think about this story, the angrier I get. O'Donnell doesn't do anything, he's suddenly got an air of tragedy tacked onto his character, and the Hellboy subplot means nothing. Why does the...
This mini is kind of a big nothing so far. We don't know how the Rasputin Nazi dudes are back from the dead (and, frankly, I didn't miss them). We don't know what they're trying to do (why create...
I really liked the art.
Then how can we be expected to sympathize with her right now? At this point, she's the would-be assassin of the book's de facto hero.
I'm hoping I like these two a bit more by the end; Devon is a great guy to dump on (who can forget his little moment with the phone booth in The Warning?) but I don't buy him as a hero. Same with...
