Ratings and reviews

I’ve always wanted to read Hellboy. Just have never had the money to invest in the comic series that I wasn’t sure I would like. But I watched the movies and absolutely loved them both and wish there was a third. Although I think I read they are rebooting it. Anyway, back to the comic. I can’t say that I’m a big fan of the artwork, that is probably the main reason why I never bit the bullet and bought the comics. But it’s adequate and does its job. But the story line behind the series is where it is very interesting. This was just issue one so it really didn’t get too in depth but I have to say I am hooked. I will be reading the next few issues as well and will be reviewing them shortly. I do have to say that the movie has rose tinted my glasses about the comic. The actual comic hasn’t really gotten into much detail about Hellboy or any of the characters yet. We really don’t know much of anything in this first issue as of yet. It basically just goes into Hellboy’s creation (briefly) and the Nazi’s who summoned him and then it ends. It unfortunately does have DRM so I have to subtract a point for that.

Amazing story!

The comic that started it all.
