  While Mignola is listed as having contributed to the writing of this comic book, it's clear from the credits and the overall tone of the story that this is really more of a Beasts of Burden comic than a Hellboy comic.

It's a great bit of marketing. This solidly entertaining story will likely driving quite a few new readers to the collected edition of the recent Beasts of Burden limited series. If I hadn't already read all of the previous Beasts of Burden material, I can guarantee you that this one-shot (which would have grabbed my attention as a Hellboy fan) would've sent me scrambling to find it.
