Як із фашистів, мерців і комах робити історії, від яких не можна відірватися. Навіть без Хеллбоя. З Абе Сапіеном на узбіччі історії.
Придумку Майка Міньйоли не можна назвати складною чи оригінальною — в жодному разі. Але вона настільки прикольна, що залишається такою навіть тоді, коли він і не пише, і не малює. Фантастика. Як кіно. Як книжка.
Не міг відірватися до останньої сторінки.

I'm not a comic/ graphic novel reader really, but I was given a stack of things I'd maybe enjoy and that person was right. I liked the Hellboy movies, so this was fun, though it didn't really feel like all that much happened. I *was* dropped into the middle of a much larger story arc here, so don't read it as a stand alone.

*Book source ~ Library

Two stories here: the B.P.R.D. gets a new team leader and new headquarters while Abe goes off to investigate an abandoned home sitting on the very edge of the sea.

I have no idea who these people are. I guess I should have started at the beginning of the graphic novels, but my library only has so many. Anyway, both stories are still pretty good even though I’m a newbie to the BPRD. The new HQ story is a bit out there, but then what isn’t in this universe? I really like the artwork, too. Except for Ben. Ewwww.
