Description

Mike Mignola is one of my all time favorite creators! I've loved all of his work from pretty much day one - from when he was inking Daredevil and Alpha Flight, you could see his talent and then when he drew The Phantom Stranger and Cosmic Odyssey he just got better and better! His "Death in The Family" Covers were nothing short of amazing! And Hellboy has been his crowning achievement. He's impressed with a great commitment to his character and the universe and it shows on every page - even when he works with collaborators. He brings the best out of them as well. One of the longest running and best executed creator-owned comics of all time!

I'm so fortunate to have been able to buy this from Mike, AND he personalized it to me!

In Pandemonium, the dead wait for Hellboy to claim his throne, but is he interested . . .?

Mike Mignola returns to draw Hellboy�s ongoing story for the first time since Conqueror Worm. It�s a story only Mignola could tell, as more of Hellboy�s secrets are revealed.

I think that this reviewer nailed it!

When you have Mike Mignola as the illustrator of HELLBOY you know that the art in the issue is going to be spectacular, and it was. The images in this issue and the layout of the panels is brilliant. Mignola shows us once again how he has managed to brilliantly capture simplicity and minimalism. His art in this issue is a little bit abstract and he uses a lot of dark shadows to highlight the characters and scenes in the issue. It's very well done and left me really impressed. This issue is worth a buy for the art alone.

The way this issue is written is Shakespearean in dialogue -- the language, the direct quotes from Shakespeare's 'Macbeth,' and just the overall layout and structure of the story is brilliant. Satan sleeps and Hellboy is given the chance to slit his throat, but will he? It's brilliantly written because the language is so eloquent. The structure and layout of this issue continues to resemble Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' in the way Mignola uses the "three spirits" that are sent to visit Hellboy to aid in the telling of the story.

We are two issues in and it is clear that although the creative team may take inspiration from other stories, ('A Christmas Carol,' 'MacBeth,') they are still obviously telling a story of their very own -- and a very interesting story at that. It is clear that Mignola is telling a very specific story, and it is not until the very end of the issue that we begin to really wrap our heads around what is going on in this issue. This is the the story of Hellboy's beginning; of how he came to be. In this story he will face his past, and the title of the next issue -- 'Family Ties' -- makes that very clear.
