A century ago, paranormal investigator Edward Grey fought and destroyed a powerful warlock off the island of Saint Sebastian. In the early 1980s, the B.P.R.D.'s newest agent was sent to retrieve the warlock's remains. But Abe Sapien is ill prepared for the supernatural forces that block his way. Written by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, and featuring the haunting art of Jason Shawn Alexander (Damn Nation, The Secret, The Escapists), Abe Sapien: The Drowning's the story of Hellboy and B.P.R.D. mainstay Abe Sapien's first solo adventure.
Abe Sapien: The Drowning provides every emotional and narrative beat you expect while slipping in another ten right under your nose -- and it's only chapter one! Read Full Review
Basically, if youre a fan of anything Mignola, you'll pick up this series anyway, and you won't be disappointed in the least. For readers unfamiliar with the Hellboy phenomenon outside of the movies, you'll enjoy the action and the intrigue, as well as the fantastic artwork. The Drowning #1 is not going to wow any comic book reader, but it is a solid tale told by one of the great storytellers in graphic fiction today. Read Full Review
Ultimately, fans of the Hellboy universe will enjoy this series. Shoot, I probably will too. After all, the Drowning #1 was an extremely solid read. The problem is, that I just can't help but shake the feeling that I've read it before. Read Full Review
