Lobster Johnson Volume 1: The Iron Prometheus by Mike Mignola
2.0
This is an action comic, in the art style of Mike Mignola, and with a heavy mystical/Nazi focus.
It's an action comic, so don't expect to read this and find any kind of thematic subtext or whatever. In the vast world of Hellboy Mignola draws on folklore, Lovecraft, and so many other mythical/historical stories. In Lobster Johnson, its a dude who punches Nazis and brands them with a lobster claw. Its pulp action. Its simple. Its ok.
The art is nice too.
Don't expect too much from this comic and you won't be disappointed. Lobster Johnson is the only character in the world of Hellboy that is shallow and I think thats nice. He's an ass kicking machine, so read this if you like ass kicking machines and the works of Mike Mignola.
