Mike Mignola is a genius. There are no other words to describe the man. Hellboy is a phenomenon; the BPRD, too; and now the adventures of Lord Baltimore stand alongside his other achievements, as a great series of tales ripe for continuation. This first mini-series has been spectacular fun; brutal vampire slayings, grizzly World War One horror and some fantastic twists in the tale. Its basis in the novel by Christopher Golden and Mignola makes it all the more engaging as a literary piece. The art by Ben Stenbeck is powerful and haunting throughout with just enough realism to make it perfectly frightening. This series was outstanding and the promise of more makes it all the more perfect.
