 Got to read through all of Hellboy: Wake the Devil because I was home sick. The book was really good. Enjoyed it a lot. Not as much as I thought I might, but it really was a good quality comic. The art, of course, it gorgeous. Mike Mignola's woodcut styled artwork is beautifully moody. A perfect setting for the occultish nature of the Hellboy comics. Mignola throws a lot of characters at the reader, mixes in a lot of different mythologies, and gets pretty cosmic with the story in the third act - which all makes the comic a challenge to read at times, but in the end I still recommend this as a great horror comic. |
