The feverish Hellboy, aka the Scarlet Crab, breaks into the ghoulish "Castle Death" accompanied by his dog Mac and a surprising but familiar face.

I had more fun reading this book than the last few- it's a transition book, and we are approaching the end. We must be on the edge of our seats for the final book. I am excited to see how Mike Mignola and Thomas Sniegoski finish the of Assault on Castle Death chapter. Read Full Review

Young Hellboy is a fun property in general and I really like that they went into the background story here as much as they did to flesh out the tale that Lobster Johnson is telling him. Or that his mind is creating. It's a lot of fun when combined with the simply playful superhero costume that he has on works as they make their way through the building, trusty dog right beside him.
