Comic Book Review: Hellboy and the BPRD 1953 #1 - Dark Horse Comics (2016)

"Beyond the Fences"

Written by Mike Mignola & Chris Roberson

Art by Paolo Rivera

It's 1953 and Hellboy, along with the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense(BPRD) are sent to check on mysterious disappearances of animals, children and most recently an adult.  

I like seeing Hellboy ina "back in the day" type of book.  1953  is the year and times were a bit different.  Bad stuff still happened back then, so that's when the BPRD are brought in to check things out.  This comic book is written well, and while the reader has an inkling as to who is behind everything, you still don't know to what extent.  It's also entertaining to see how the group is figuring out the mystery behind the disappearances.

The art looks great and has much of the classic Hellboy look.  I've always been a fan of how Hellboy has looked in the comics and Paolo Rivera is an excellent choice for artist.  

I received this comic book in the Comic Block subscription box.  It's a great service that delivers number ones and key issues for many different comic series' and companies.  You can read the review of the entire box here.

Comic Book Review: Hellboy Winter Special - Dark Horse Comics (2016)

The Hellboy Winter Special is a collection of four stories collected inside of one comic book.

"Broken Vessels"
Story by Mike Mignola & Scott Allie
Art by Tim Sale
A creepy story about a drifter telling the tale of shamans to man who was much happier keeping to himself near his campfire.

"Hellboy and the B.P.R.D: 1953 - Wandering Souls"
Story by Mike Mignola & Chris Roberson
Art by Michael Walsh
A harshly cold November day in Wyoming isn't enough to keep restless spirits from letting their presence known.  Hellboy and Susan Xiang investigate to put an end to the unexplained phenomena.

"Mood Swings"
Story by Chelsea Cain
Art by Michael Avon Oeming
Liz isn't having the merriest of Christmases as an adolescent in 1975 and Hellboy thinks he has a way of cheering her up.  What neither of them knows is the destination Hellboy has chosen doesn't leave the two of them alone with harmless snowmen.

"Kung Pao Lobster"
Story and art by Dean Rankine
Ordering Chinese food becomes very frustrating in this two page comedic story.

I was quite pleased reading this comic book from Dark Horse Comics.  I received it in the Comic Block subscription box(review of subscription box here).  It came with an exclusive Comic Block cover and it was a very fun read.  I'm a fan of Hellboy and getting a few short stories including Red is always a good thing.  It's difficult to pick a favorite of the four stories as they were all good in their own way.

Comic Book Review: itty-bitty Hellboy #1 - Dark Horse Comics (2015)

"The Search for the Were-Jaguar"

Written by Art Baltazar & Franco
Art by Art Baltazar

Itty-bitty Hellboy is on a mission to deliver much needed supplies to the island of the Rogers.  There are others on the way as well that itty-bitty Hellboy may not know about.

This is the post where we take a look at a kids comic book.  I received this book from subscription box, "Comic Boxer Kids" as I also do reviews for HelloSubscription.  I have always been fond of the cover art on the "itty-bitty" series but never felt compelled enough to pick it up.

This is definitely a book meant for children.  If you have kids, great!  Pick up this title as it is fun and the panels are simple to follow.  The book is comprised of multiple mini stories but they do fit together.  It's a nice way of keeping the book fresh for someone who may not have a great attention span.

The art is meant to look simple but the characters were very distinguishable.  Art Baltazar does a nice job with how everyone looks interacting with each other.

Like I typed earlier, this is a book that is meant for a much younger audience.  It's not Young Hellboy getting into the same misadventures you may be used to seeing and/ reading.  This is a much more juvenile look and feel to Red.
