Hellboy learns if his life is his own or if fate merely pulls the strings. The story is a good action yarn spun around a bizarre show. The new characters and creature are cool and Hellboy remains the charismatic slugger. Fegredo's illustrations are detailed and thrilling. If any flaw can be found in this comic is that it's only a one-shot. Recommended. Read Full Review

Sometimes it's nice to have a short story" something that you can read in a quick sitting. But that doesn't mean the story is light on content or depth. The Beast of Vargu continues the job of filling in the life of Hellboy" the experiences that make him who he is. The second story is a lovely idea" Hellboy sitting and listening to the telling of a folktale that sounds quite familiar to his own experience of life. Certainly a worthwhile addition to the Hellboy collected works. Read Full Review

The first-half of the tale we see through Hellboy's eyes, while the second is shown through the puppets of the gypsy woman who rescues our hero. The performance not only perfectly captures events but adds to them an ending with Hellboy victorious (which Hellboy is incredulous to discover becomes true after the story is told). The issue also includes a back-up story as the gypsy woman offers another tale about the good and evil inside each of us as food for thought for the recovering hero on the road home. Worth a look.
