A review by latterature
Baltimore Omnibus Volume 2 by Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden

2.0

"A brooding loner with a mysterious past does battle across the world with ancient creatures of folklore and mythology, slowing coming to understand his central role in a much larger battle." If that synopsis sounds familiar, it's because Mignola did the exact same thing with Hellboy, and like Hellboy, Baltimore as a series is better in conception than execution, falling into a stale and predictable pattern that fails to produce an impactful conclusion. Design and artwork are as glorious as ever, but by the end of this lengthy omnibus the reader will be desperate for something more than ghouls being slaughtered by a humorless, lifeless hero.
