kellylynnthomas's review against another edition
2.0
So, this is a collection of shorts. The only problem is that not all of the shorts have anything to do with Hellboy. The ones that are actually about Hellboy are kind of funny. The ones that aren't are pretty dumb, in my opinion. I started skipping the non-Hellboy ones after the first few. The humor in this book is on par with 12-year-old humor, which isn't a bad thing in and of itself, but I don't think it's applied very well.

Well... It isn't for me. This is a non-canonical and frankly unfunny for me series of one-offs largely not written by Mike Mignola, so I stopped somewhere after the issue with the lumberjack and his alien wife and the terrible caricature of a first nations person. It wasn't the first or the worst unfunny thing in the book, but it is where I decided I'd truly had enough. I know it was made to evoke comics/cartoons from the time when racism and gross humor were the standard, but I didn't grow up on it and maybe because of that don't even get a nostalgia hit from it. If that's more your thing, maybe you'll like this one.
