Can’t believe this is going away after only four issues….
It’s just not fair damn it! (sobs)
I feel ya TNC. It’s like Tom Petty says, “The waiting is the hardest part”.
So, this is only going to be four issues?
@lobsterjohnny, for now yes. Mignola has said that this will be released in minis and one shots, so there will be more we just don’t know when the next installment will be out.
i love hellboy but… i just felt like i don’t really care about what i am reading. i should, this is HELLBOY IN HELL. so dull!
This was good, but probably my least favorite of the four.
It did what it need though and set up the rest of the series of Hellboy wandering through hell. I only hope that the wait for the next issue isn’t too long.
The Edward Grey Witchfinder stories are some of the only Mignolaverse stuff I haven’t read. Definitely need to check it out after this issue.
Needlessly obscure in my opinion.
Well it’s a shame I never read the Witchfinder series because I knew who Edward Grey was but had no idea what his history is. Will have to go back and read those mini’s and I’m sure they’re just as fantastic as everything else in the Mignola-verse.
Anyways, I loved this mini and this continual tone of bleakness and despair worked for me on all levels. The only reason I didn’t give this a POTW nod (and even dropped it to a 4 star) was how wordy it was. Grey going on about his origins kinda stalled what was otherwise a fast paced story. But I love where Mignola is taking Hellboy and the art by him (and Dave Stewart) more then makes up any shortcomings the story had. I will defend this story to the death though because I think it gets unfairly criticized in my mind.
4/5
Been stuck in bed with a flu for the past week and I’ve done a huge re-read of Hellboy, BPRD, Lobster Johnson, Witchfinder, Ape Sapien, etc and this issue really tied things together for me in a huge way and answered tons of questions. I think Hellboy in Hell has suffered because of the long delays between stories over the years, but read as a whole it really holds together excellently.
The quaint little Hell-Village on the last page was so spooky and full of eerie promise that it provided
a) Not only the perfect ending point to the original series, but also
b) A pleasing glimpse of the character’s future.
It was reminiscent of ‘The Village’ from the 60’s TV series ‘The Prisoner’ in an odd way. Who or what lives there? What is life like for them? I really wanted to find out.
I really enjoyed this issue, it was the best of the four ‘Hellboy In Hell’ issues.
This was also my favorite of the 4.
The suggested depth and murky freaky image are just fantastic and creepy. Plus the jolt of color at the end and with the matches was amazing. Stevens doing astonishing work in tandem with Mignola’s negative space work.
Also if this is a $2.99 book why is the printing so much nicer than the ‘Big 2’ books? It feels luxurious.
