Hellsing 01 by Kohta Hirano

I absolutely love Hellsing, a little less by the end than in the beginning, but still five stars worth. It is dark, gritty, gothic and just this side of insane. The baddies are bad, but the hero is even worse. Alucard is a psychotic, blood thirsty, vampire with a wry sense of morbid humor. He truly revels in the carnage he creates. Sir Integra Wingate, who by the way is female, is my favorite type of woman—strong, flinch-less, and in complete mastery of an overpowering mythical force, not to mention an assassin-cum-butler and an international 'peacekeeping' organization. Granted, Hellsing does take some getting used to. It's a manga, but set in England, the body count is extremely high, and there is enough blood to drown it. But if you like dark manga, it is worth reading.

From what I remember, tracks the series pretty closely.

El dibujo varía entre "eh" a horrible. Algunos paneles son confusos de leer.
Pero sólo son diez tomos, así que...

Cool. Nice action. good use of shades. Good lines. Conceptually not that unique but a lot of room for development.
And YES Alucard looks a lot like Vash. It’s the glasses.

I love this gothic, insane series so much. Action packed and a great intro to our characters.
Artwork can be a bit messy at points but good entry point

This felt like riding a rollercoaster while being on crack at times and I loved it! The whole concept is so extra but I somehow didn't mind it one bit.

This is actually a re-read for me. I read Hellsing a few years back and I absolutely loved it. One of my favorite manga's of all time!

Filled with plenty of action and gore. A little cheesy ay times but I love what Kohta has done with the Dracula mythos. >:3
