Hellboy: The Crooked Man

With the success of the live-action movie Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Hollywood has proven once again that the public enjoys and embraces well-done fantasy movies. Hellboy was great fun and Hellboy II was no different, Guillermo del Toro (who is now directing The Hobbit for New Line) proving he can do no wrong when he steps into the director’s chair.
But I got to thinking: I have not read a Hellboy comic book. Once upon a time I helped manage a fun comic book store and still had not read Hellboy. Grown older and now free of my non-superhero bias, I had to ask myself, “Why not?” After returning from Comic-Con, I quickly went online to find out what was going on with Hellboy in the comic book industry.
That’s when I discovered creator Mike Mignola had just released Issue #1 of a new three-issue mini-series called Hellboy: The Crooked Man—and there was a Preview of it online at Dark Horse Comics! Check it out!
