I'm with you anon. Unique art style. Unique motion pictures.

It really is. Make sure you check out BPRD too, OP.

Btw, I would totally let Hellboy fuck me. No homo.

>>77780621
I wonder if there will be more Sledgehammer 44 comics. Next to BPRD they were my favorite of all the Hellboy side titles

I completely agree and if anyone doubts that Hellboy is a great universe they should read this.

>>77780810
D-dan...? You okay...?

Hellboy is one of the few ongoing comics I would call an Epic. Usagi Yojimbo and Hip Hop Family Tree are two othes

Hellboy 2 was pretty bad.

>Character development reset
>Hellboy goes back to being a rebelling teenager that hates Manning despite having a bonding/fatherly moment with Manning teaching him how to properly smoke a sigar in the first moment
>Del Taco running wild with his crazy ideas all over the place
>Suddenly a grass kaiju appears and breaks shit
>Drunk singing
>ayy I'm preggers with triplets, we Shrek now

>>77781051
One of the most important things to develop in the whole story.

Which is a perfect example of how crazy Hellboy is as a series. Something that looked so minor in this small, seemingly unimportant issue ended up being super important.

>>77781074
>ayy I'm preggers with triplets

I think that part pissed me off the most. I know the movie was supposed to be different from the comics, but goddamn, I've always thought of Hellboy and Liz as having an older brother/younger sister relationship.

Nobody puts the whammy on Hellboy

I wouldn't say that anon but thank you.

I do find the fly form of the demon to be very well done. There's that whole "lord of the flies" thing after all.

If I ever grow a conscious and decide to buy comics instead of pirate, everything Magnola's done would be near the top of the list.

>>77780526
>Great Live Action Cinematic Movies
Really just one great one, and one 'ok when the audience insert isn't fucking around with the plot' movie.

>>77781850
Like BRPD's setting serving as a carbon copy of the MIB with whacky background shenanigans?

Graugach's grudge against Hellboy leads to The Queen of Blood becoming the queen of Witches, needless to say, nothing good follows.

>>77782721
Come to think of it,that boardude/creature was why hellboy ended up in a heap of trouble right?

This is why I hate the fae. You do everything they ask for something that is simple to them, and they decide to use it to destroy you, leaving you with less than nothing. I should start carrying iron everywhere, just in case.

I currently own volumes 1-7 and also 11 (they were used at my local record shop, bought them all). Should i just stick with the core Hellboy series or is it worth it to check out all the other spin offs (bprd, abe, lobster johnson, and plent others i cant remember)?

Also, which of the spin offs is your favorite?

>>77783332
That's my point. If you're going to be the Lord of the Flies, you had better have flies to lord over.

>>77782576
Video games are not that important.

>>77783394
im inbetween lobster and abe

>>77783394
Look man, all of them are good. Fucking all of them, and this is something Extraordinary. BPRD is the best spin..OK right along with Lobster Johnson.>>77783400

>>77784040
How did Hellboy become a can of peanuts?

>>77784353
He supposedly smells like roasted peanuts. It's been mentioned a few times in the comic.

>>77784353
Hellboy and honey roasted peanuts are the best choices for their respective mediums

Didn't Hellboy's nanny call him Peanut?

>>77784484
Hellboy had a nanny?

>>77784505

When he was young and lived on the army base in Arizona or whatever. I think she was just a secretary or something but she was also like his mother figure, and nicknamed him Peanut.

That's how I remember it, anyways

>>77780643
More Sledgehammer and more Vampire.

>>77784732
the best part about these is that they always sound really delicious

second hellboy thread in a week, i'm impressed

>>77783814
It wasn't anything like that, I live half an hour from my parent's house but still spent the weekend with them, moving out was a little rough on my mom.

>>77787182
Also here is a link to that Darkness Calls thread! >>77787149

>>77785159
I believe the only thing delaying Vampire was how busy Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba were. Now that their graphic novel is out maybe Vampire will be their next project

>>77780617
I hate the artwork in BPRD, though

Mostly because I loved Beasts of Burden, so this was just icing on the cake.

what the actual fuck?

I love my Library editions and BPRD hardcovers. I had to pay out the ass for vol 4 but it's worth it.

>>77791476
you mean vol4 of the bprd hardcovers? cause the library edition voluime 4 is still in print and shouldn't be too expensive

>>77787417
Complete fucking pleb.

>>77791548
Yeah, I meant the BPRD hardcover. Doesn't seem like it's still in print due to price.

>>77791580
yeah the hardcovers are out of print

>>77791625
Which is a damn shame, I have 1 and 2 hardcover but l will have to get soft cover for the rest. Unless they miraculously come back in print. Oh well, either way it would be some amazing comics.

>>77791693
I got lucky. My LCS had vol 3 at 40% off.

>>77791711
Nice. Really I think I just gotta look around, Omaha has 6 comic shops so one of them might have it. I just gotta be not lazy.

>>77781145
>Something that looked so minor in this small, seemingly unimportant issue ended up being super important.

remember Astaroth's first appearance in the fucking PAMCAKES baby hellboy one shot

>>77792180
Also true. Mignola is the master of the long game, shocking give that he will occasionally forget about plans he's made.

>>77792180
He was also in that neat circus comic as well. As well as some hot demon lady who was never in the main series...

>>77782389
he should know better than to desecrate a shrine lantern like that, that's a fast track to getting more angry ghosts on your ass

>>77792267
That is Hellboy's sister and she is mentioned in Hellboy in Hell, also The Midnight Circus is as canon ad anything else.

>>77792482
I knew that The Midnight Circus was canon.
Didn't realize the sister part, especially since she looked really different in Hellboy in Hell.
Also that she's an ice-cold bitch but hey.

I found this sketch of her in the back of the Right Hand of Doom trade paperback

Mignola has at least had a concept of the character for a loooong time before she appeared

It's not like she came out of nowhere or something

>>77792689
I know that, but she was certainly underused in the main plot, you've got to admit that.

Found this earlier.

Got me thinking, though. How would you classify the other members of the BPRD into the lantern corps?

-Roger is without a doubt blue. And Cloacina would be one of his frequent constructs
-I'm thinking Abe would be green, though I'm open to other interpretations
-Hellboy would get a red ring during that one part of The Wild Hunt
-Liz is a hard one. She certainly skirts red territory sometimes.
-Panya would be orange, I mean she's weird about her hybrid animals and also about people's attention
-Johann... Orange when he was in a human body that one time, red when he was after Daimio, maybe back to green right now.
-Kate just screams green to me.

Anyone have other interpretations?

>>77783604
Makes me wonder many other supernatural creatures are walking about in the open, and if street merchants try to hock their overpriced crap at them.

>>77784840
Blasphemy!>>77784919

>>77791373
scenes of apocalypse in BPRD are rad as fuck

>>77780795
Mignola used to be so good. But I just can't deal with how his style degenerated in Hellboy In Hell.

>>77781145
Heh....is that the thing that bit and turned Cassidy into a vampire in Preacher?

It's a perfectly normal older brother/younger sister relationship in Mexico

how do the plague of frogs hardcovers stack next to softcovers?

picked up the 4th HC way cheap, but the others will probably be softcover.

also, when will the 1947 come out in softcover?

>>77784732

So I really want to pick up hellboy, but i dont really know where to start. Whats the best place to jump in?

The Corpes and all the ones drawn by Fredrego

I don't know this one. What's the name of the source issue?

>>77795997
Hellboy/Beasts of Burden crossover

>>77782311
I really like The Wolves of St August.

>>77783394
Baltimore is pretty cool. But it does not technically tie into Hellboy.

>>77796462
Yeah, Apocalypse twice in hundred years is a bit harsh even in Lovecraftian world.
