Three weird tales show the world of Hellboy through the years, with Edward Grey appearing alongside Sarah Jewell, hero of the recent Rise of the Black Flame series in 1890s London. In 1980s New England, Hellboy, Abe Sapien, and Liz Sherman set out on a simple search for some missing kids and encounter a tormented spirit seeking to share its pain.

Jan 28, 2017The perfect combination of supernatural chills set in three different time periods. You'll discover ancient vessels, laugh at unexpected threats, and never want to go in the woods again. Something for everyone. Hellboy in winter is truly special. Read Full Review

Jan 29, 2017Its difficult to imagine someone not wanting to be a part of a project like this, but thankfully we get a group of people who feel plain right for the job. This one-shot is a good jumping on point for what has become a sprawling universe with a lengthy yet rewarding reading order. Be warned though, you're likely to get hooked, and if not Hellboy, then certainly on one of these talented contributors. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Forrest Hollingsworth
Jan 25, 2017Ultimately, we have a variety of stories that do what they set out to do, one which I think really successfully teases a yet-unseen shadowy corner of the Hellboy universe in The Visitor, but the other two of which are fun but pedestrian stories. Read Full Review
