The vampire queen Vesperra has awakened! The ancient ape-god of the island has emerged from his avatar to fight her, but it may not be enough. Can Hellboy, Professor Bruttenholm, and their hosts survive long enough for the two adventurers to escape from the mysterious island they crashed on?
Young Hellboy, from Mike Mignola, Tom Sniegoski, artist Craig Rousseau, and colorist Dave Stewart comes to its exciting conclusion!
Rosseau delivers some great visuals throughout the issue. The action is great and the characters are dynamic and full of life. Read Full Review
