Product Description
Product Description
Hellboy has finally returned from his adventures at sea, but no sooner has he settled on land than a conclave of witches drags him from his respite and into the heart of Russian folklore, where he becomes the quarry of the powerful and bloodthirsty witch Baba Yaga. Bent on revenge for the eye she had lost to Hellboy, Baba Yaga has enlisted the aid of a deathless warrior who will stop at nothing to destroy Hellboy. Creator Mike Mignola turns over drawing duties to Duncan Fegredo (Enigma, Ultimate Adventures) for a new chapter in the life of the World's Greatest Paranormal Investigator.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great story, full of characters from folklore and mythology and combining many faces from previous volumes (If you haven't read Seed of destruction or Wake the Devil then you may get a little lost) and amazing artwork drawn by Duncan Fegredo who has built upon with great detail the graphic but beautiful style of Mr Mignola. I'm not going into plot detail, if you love Hellboy you'll love this. Both author and artist have joined forces again for the follow on 'The Wild Hunt'. That won't be in graphic novel form for ages...sigh!!
Format:Paperback
In my very humble opinion, this might be the very best Hellboy story ever!
Never mind the fact that Hellboy creator Mike Mignola isn't handling the art: New Hellboy artist Duncan Fegredo does a fantastic job and soon you won't think about the change in the atwork department anymore. Until you reach the end and realise you haven't missed Mignola's unique art one bit!
But this means his writing has a better chance to shine than ever. So he basically cuts loose with a roller coaster plot that barely slows down in the first issues, involving Hellboy being handed over by a council of very pissed off witches to the worst of them all: Baba Yaga, an evil hag who holds a grudge against our hero that knows no bounds. Hellboy's trademark sarcastic bits have little room to shine, but you'll laugh out loud when you read his conversation with the little Russian home protector spirit!
This long fight for his life will prevent Hellboy from stopping events in England to precipitate to the point that Fairies now wage war against man...
This is a fantastic book that can't help but leave you wanting for more! Well done, Mike & Duncan!
