Here is our review of the comic book:

Pro:

  • Art
    • The art in the comic gave me a classic feel throughout the pages. I felt I was taken back in time on how creative the art was showcased. The color and shadowing of the characters gave the story more of a grim appeal.
  • Story
    • Your taken into a case file where Hellboy is there to help get his friend off of jail but goes into much deeper. He gives a person’s son a glimpse of his dead mother as well as the solve the truth of Walter Wakeman. This was a fantastic read as the story drew you in more and more with each page turn.
  • Return of Mike and Adam
    • Fans are excited with the return of Mike Mignola and artist Adam Hughes to the Hellboy story. They contributed in the past with comic issues that are just epic. With them back at the helm, you will feel like your on a roller-coaster of Hellboy proportion.

Con:

  • N/A

Rating:  10 out of 10

Hellboy writer Mike Mignola and artist Adam Hughes came back together to show fans a story that will shiver your timbers. They created the mood for the comic through fantastic art which embodies the reader’s fine taste. I could feel the shadowing on some parts of the pages that echoed the words spoken by the characters in the story. The words throughout each page connected the dots to the story as a visualization that was pre built in the mind. You can visual the story from the art but the words gave you those scenes that mark the story unique. You are engulfed on what happens next to Hellboy but learning the surrounding story with the seven wives was very cool. I enjoyed reading this comic and can’t wait for the next one!
