sadness, betrayal, and repentance
it’s been weeks since i read this book. i read it in like two sittings. it was fantastic, but i’ve had a lot of complex feelings about it… especially now that i’ve read the short stories. i was told to start on omnibus vol. 1, but i really wish i started with the short stories because they are the true essence of Hellboy. The stupid little folklore stuff is the absolute best stuff in the series.
This was a very emotional and very interesting collection. I flew through all 500 pages of insanity and it was everything. i relate a lot to a character denying their destiny in hopes of leading a better life. I also really appreciate that he’s like a monster visibly, but people seem to treat him with respect and humanity, even children. It’s really reassuring to see
the three stories contained here are three of my least favorite in the overall scope of the hellboy run, they are still fantastic. This book was a lot like A Day In The Life by the Beatles. Darkness Falls is John’s Lennon’s bit and The Wild Hunt is Pail McCartney’s section. The awesome crescendo or whatever at the end is The Storm and the Fury which is satisfying, but leaves you feeling hollow in a melancholic way like only real art can make you feel
maybe i’m just stupid idk
