Here's my 'Holy Shit!' moment of the week:

Hellboy meeting the girl he saved over forty years ago in 'The Corpse'. That just blew me away when I first read that. Everything just feels like it's coming full circle, and possibly for a very good reason.

You see it's come to my attention that, Mignola has some very big plans for the rest of this mini. I honestly and truely think he is going to kill Hellboy. Although he has already died many times, to me I think this is the point where Mignola wants to bury the red guy for good. Not to say this is confirmed in this issue by any means. It's just that when your told over and over again you'll have to raise the army to fight the queen and your death is the only option a witch sees....signs are not good.

Overall this was a good issue, the writing has always been better then normal for Hellboy. It's still all still setting up for what will probably be the biggest fight in Hellboy Universe. But even if the issue is still a little more expositional, it's better then most series that come out week in and out. Plus I loved the part two of the origin for Koshchei the Deathless in this. I hope this becomes a regular backup in future Hellboy/BPRD tales. There's just so much you could do with it and I would love to see Mignola do a book or comic in general about Monsters and Myths.

The queen's rath is something I cant wait to see. We got a little taste of it here, but with Hellboy now going to have to raise an army we're gonna get some brutal fighting in the upcoming issues. Great issue.
