Hellboy, book 2. Wake The Devil by Mike Mignola

​   Evil Nazis were only the beginning. Now there are also vampires to contend with. The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense certainly makes sure their best investigators are busy at all times. And then you throw in some old country figures, mythological and historical, and it’s just an irresistibly awesome adventure. Dangerous, of course, but nothing a guy with a giant mallet for a fist can’t handle. And really if this guy and his team can’t save the world and prevent an apocalypse, who can…
   Another great story. Another one remembered from a movie. Why were there never more movies? They did well, didn’t they? Strange to abandon such a promising franchise Then again it never had a chance to go to sh*t and that’s pretty awesome.
   I’m new to Mignola’s comic book world and I’m loving it The art alone...the way the man uses the color black and the myriad of shadows, it’s sheer perfection. And of course, perfectly suited to the general tone and mood of the books, which is indeed very shadowy.
   Good, great, awesome, love it. Onto the next one. Recommended.
