I‘ve been a fan of Hellboy on the big screen since I first saw the 2k4 movie. Though this is my first graphic novel. The story is dark (both in art and plot line), which only adds to the story. I loved the envision of the first part of how HB came to earth. The writer does a great job between how The character actually speak, and what they think. Abe and Liz were here, but wish they were bigger. This really felt like it a setup to reintroduce HB
