Hellboy and Professor Trevor Bruttenholm team up for some quality father-son time at a New York potter's field where they try to unravel the mystery of a spectral being haunting the packed graveyard. Upon arrival, the two of them quickly realize there may be more things haunting the buried poor at the mass grave than meets the eye . . . Celebrated writer Mike Mignola and longtime collaborator Chris Roberson bring you another exciting Hellboy one-shot, with exquisite art by Stephen Green and Dave Stewart!
I love the action Hellboy can get up to, but I have to say I also really appreciate the emotional depth that we get to see in these slower paced stories. There are some lovely moments of introspection that tie into some of the other stories that we have enjoyed and show a lovely level of emotional continuity across the different threads of the Hellboy universe. A ghost story with heart and soul (sorry) with a really lovely pay off at the end. Well worth grabbing a copy and you don't need to have read any of the referenced stories to feel the emotion throughout. Read Full Review
