Hannah Means-Shannon, our senior New York Correspondent, writes; Lobster Johnson's life and death, and pulp-hero existence within the Hellboy universe, is partly a matter of interpretation based on the intricacies of his own chronology During the events of "A Scent of Lotus", set in the winter of 1933, Johnson is operating as "alive", and for[...]

Half Cthulu Mythos and half 70s cult horror, the first issue has the same feel you'd get from the early days of Hellboy. I got a chance to speak with series creators Gordon Rennie (Writer) and P J Holden (Artist) about their new endeavor. BLEEDING COOL: After reading the first issue I can see elements of Lovecraftian[...]

I didn't take the Groot Mini-Bust out of its really very well packaged box, but was impressed by the quality of what[...]

He's a proponent of the tribute week, and has done a "Hellboy week" before on his Tumblr, but this week was extra special for him since it coincided with Hellboy's own 20th birthday Hellboy's birthday is a little understated in the media, since his official celebration will be marked by Dark Horse in Spring of[...]

Which comics are heating up so fast that retailers are having to play catch up, upping their orders to cope with new demand, and hoping they'll have enough when the mobs come through the door screaming? Hellboy's original graphic novel tops the charts of this week's advance reorders as retailers cotton onto the fact that their[...]

Gavin Lees writes; Dark Horse's Hellboy panel was a very casual affair this year, with no official, pre-prepared announcements from the creators, no previews of upcoming art, or slideshows of any kind Instead, panelists Scott Allie (series editor), Tyler Crook (BPRD artist), Dave Stewart (series colourist), and Mike Mignola (creator, writer, and artist of the Hellboy[...]

Before Bleeding Cool, there was TRIPWIRE magazine. In 2013, it celebrates its 21st anniversary and so it’s crowd funding at Kickstarter (to get a

If you can get past this. Looks like Doctor Octopus was getting bashed around a lot, well before he met Spider-Man… And Hellboy has his own daddy issues to deal with. Yup, that look's like Bleeding Cool's Dr Manolis Vamvounis on writing duties, all right, on Youngblood. While Epic Kill, already famed for its over the top moments gives[...]

Back to Amazing Spider-Man #600… Dr Octopus' tricks revealed. Yeah, ugh, Hawkeye presses hope Marvel's anti-smoking policy.

And while Daredevil: End Of Days gives us[...]

Usually they are played out as last-page-of-the-issue, shock horror, cliffhanger ending, albeit one teased for days in the press sucking any surprise out of the story. It's no surprise that Mike Mignola and Duncan Fegredo play things differently. Oh sure the death of Hellboy himself is spectacular, a series of events weakening him until he finally has[...]
