HELLBOY:The Fury

[Kees_L]

I think it likely that Hellboy himself isn't gonna be bothered by appearances much.

If appearances or manifestations would get to be alterable or limitless then such would mean that any such altering would not have to be as remarkable in itself.
As if even limitedlessness would be bound or restricted by how stuff would be to matter.

Since I think that matters of story present themselves as how or what they'd be essentially, or as how they'd be seeming in the eyes of some or more at least.

It seems likely that Hellboy needs to leave the world of the living in order to be reaching hell.
As if by then any future dwelling would for him be taking place at someplace being not the living world. Rendering any limits or restrictions to that world moot or at least a thing of the past.

As if mortal life would be as remarkable or unreachable for immortals or the dead or the allegorical alike, just as how mortals couldn't really ever reach immortality (without changing into a different beast entirely)?

But yeah, remarkable or limitless or not: I bet it's gonna be looking sweet!

Both for Hellboy, as for matters of story, heck even for hell itself!

I cannot wait. Is that sounding weird a bit? I. Cannot. Wait.

I finally got my hands on the Fury #2 & 3 and I read them.
And I feel the delivery and resolve to being absolutely magical!


[Warning - gigantic spoilers ahead - No, really!]







What I perceive to being Nimue or either Ogdru Jahad the Dragon its monologue at Hellboy,
plus the fact that it gets repeated for spreading its impact and meaningfulness over two whole issues, I found just so powerful and elegant.

Together with George's ladyfriend aka Queen Mab her explanations,
an enticing view is given of what Ragnarok will be, once it will come to pass, taking place at the battefield Vigrid, upon where all worldly life will be swept away, by monsters reclaiming the world into a new beginning, with or without Anung Un Rama - wielding the Right Hand of Doom, riding a dragon the Ogdru Jahad, or either battling the dragon as being a Champion of Man?

But Queen Mab explains it as if Hellboy would have been working at biding the world a little more time, as if to say that this time Ragnarok would not come to be concluding fully and truely, so all life would not be swept away as yet?

Because - as Queen Mab says it - the Ogdru Jahad would have been unleashed to soon, plus Hellboy's friends such as Abe, Liz and Roger, could still be fulfilling to be doing what they must, in order to fulfill how at least the spirit of man will survive into a new beginning?

And Hellboy then raises a different sword as handed by his mysterious friend Vasilisa, under the witnessing eyes of another mysterious familiar figure Edward Grey. And Hellboy slays Nimue, who in the passing steals Hellboy's flaming heart straight from his worldly body, left to crumble to dust??


[Spoiler End]








Pretty intense, that.

But it leaves a powerful wide-open enormity of wonderous stuff yet to be taking place I bet.

And I can't wait already!

Cover for the trade!

[Deathlok87]

Beautiful cover, can't wait to add that to my collection, besides Green Lantern Hellboy is the only reason I still read comics.

[Clayton]

Green Lantern Hellboy!?!? When did that happen? ;)

Sorry. :D

[D'ohboy]

Green Lantern Hellboy!?!? When did that happen? ;)

Sorry. :D

Doesn't seem like much of a stretch since a couple of years ago it seemed as though every character in the DCU was some shade of lantern...

[Deathlok87]

on a side note I meant besides Green Lantern, Hellboy is the only reason I collect comics still.

The things a missing comma can cause.

I stayed away from CBR ever since The Fury #3 came out just to avoid spoilers (over a month), only to have it spoiled by Dark Horse. UGH. Why they put a spoiler on the page for the trade is beyond me. No love for trade waiters. I just wanted to see the cover bigger... Damn

[jimm]

I don't know how you trade waiters do it!

[Big_H]

I don't know how you trade waiters do it!

I'm thinking of actually doing digital then buying the trade or HC later to avoid shit like this happening. Still kicking myself for not buying digital.

[Middenway]

I can read digital, but my enjoyment of story is significantly higher as a physical copy (especially as a trade. Not too big, not too small). I know there shouldn't be any difference (my friends are always telling me to get a Kindle), but there is, and I'm not even sure what it is. I just like books.

Just now I read DHP #8, specifically BPRD: An Unmarked Grave, by Mignola & Arcudi & Fegredo & Clem Robbins & Dave Stewart.

Which ties into Hellboy: The Storm & The Fury, final part of the epic trilogy with Hellboy: Darkness Calls and Hellboy: the Wild Hunt - in a big way.

Some frequenters of this Forum might be waiting out the reading of this DHP-issue 'till it might get reprinted into a trade or something - those should watch out for spoilers I guess.






I liked the story, especially the lush and elegant art of Fegredo, of Alice and Kate interacting.

Although the story seems to raise questions, mostly in fields I wouldn't have suspected.
Like the aftermath, the apparent actual damage or beatings done on what would be or have been England?

I'm guessing this stuff should ring the same as the Hellboy- and BPRD-world proving under attack by the Hem-Things for real? I could see that I think. And why should I feel reluctance for any such as getting to be part of the narrative? Well, not reluctance so much, but more a sense of alert:
like shouldn't there be more of a reaction among peoples like religious whackjobs shooting up like mushrooms for getting vocal, or more straightforwardly military powers pushing aside any BPRD and stuff like that?
Not that any such would typically feel welcome for me - I'd much rather see just BPRD or Hellboy and Friends to deal with things with paying no mind to the outside world very much, but. If there would be an outside world, like Englishmen or whatever - wouldn't they be pissy or meaning to get louder a bit?
So, I don't know, I'm having mixed sentiments I think.
Of course the flowers are cute. But well, they seem a little abundant in some of the panels of the Unmarked Grave?

But maybe the words of Alice about that garden and stuff, maybe that will come to being of great relevance somehow? Although I kind of wasn't anticipating such, because I thought for Hellboy any wordly end was gonna get wrapped up, for then going underground or onto other realms pretty profoundly?
Maybe people such as Alice and Kate will be to inherit any of the aftermath as left behind? Like as if the BPRD would be to cover the worldly matters, whereas Hellboy would as of now be to cover the otherworldly or netherworldliness more rather? With being like "Aw crap" on and off?

I guess we'll see. I'd be interested in other people's thoughts on this stuff for the meantime.

[horror_of_sorts]

I wonder where this will be collected. It's a BPRD story but would make a lot of sense in The Storm and The Fury trade.

Well, I'd say they wouldn't be calling it a BPRD story feature for nothing.

Seems to me it would be a BPRD story feature for that. Making it unlikely for it to get treated as other than that, also for any reprinting or collecting?

Whereas collecting would get done based on titles, more rather than narratives or events intermixing?

Maybe Kate and Alice will get to be talking some more, in upcoming BPRD pages?

But I'll just be another reader I suppose. So I might be wrong.
