It is without any doubt the best monster fight that I have never seen in a comic book, intense, bloody, crude and savage. I dare you to find a better vision of a combat like this, not even movies are able to instill the feelings that this fight emanates. Incredible ending for a good story arch.

What started as some kind of hommage to the classic spandex costume hero genre, ended up being one the best stories I've ever read on the last couple of years. Pick it up read the first 12 issues and you will not be able to stop. Also Ryan Ottley has a fantastic art style.

What can I say? Hellboy has been my first love since I started reading american comic books 15 years ago. Cannot say a bad thing about the most talented and unique artist in the comic-book industry.

Love the "pro" approach, the story is full of good black ops military fiction but the flow of the narrative is a little bit scattered. I mean, it seems (at least till issue 12) justs flashes and glimses of a bigger picture that will be revealed when the setting is further developed.

Anyways is a pretty nice piece of fiction with a fantastic art to boot!
