Earlier today, we featured the astonishingly wide-ranging interview that Mike Mignola took part in for us here at Bleeding Cool, and in that interview he speaks a lot about the role of the new mini-series, Hellboy and the BPRD to return to "classic" Hellboy tales where there is always room for humor, filling in part[...]

It's The Goonies meets Hellboy, as the Latimer Family–a centuries old familial line of paranormal hunters–find themselves at the bottom of the supernatural food chain. Endlessly pursued and with[...]

But for me the book is a change in the way I see Abe because he's pitted against the effects of the burgeoning apocalypse in the Hellboy Universe, and rather than battling monsters on a gigantic scale this time around, he's dealing with the broken humanity that's being pushed aside like so much flotsam in[...]
