He's so sneaky

>>83507891
I can't get past on how goofy the wendingo look.

>>83508079
This reminds me of the episode Bender becomes human on Futurama, with Johann instead

>>83509269
its the spooky ghost guy with the fish-helmet suit.
They gave him a soulless body for him to play in.

>>83509269
He's a 19th century German ghost psychic inhabiting an Ubermensch body designed by crazy old people who wanted to flood the world to serve a sea god all while transferring their souls to the new body to rule over what was left.

Don't worry, they were ghost bullets.

Never liked this.
Lobster Johnson should have stayed in Conqueror Worm and only Conqueror Worm.

>>83509369
>What?

This is a very appropriate situation for saying that, if ever there was one.

>>83509402
>Someone actually happy in the BPRD
Yep, had to go.

Johann.
>>83509405
But then we wouldn't have the LJ books.

>>83509440
He was having destructive behavior it wasn't good for him

>>83507825
Wait, did I miss something?
When did Johann become a person again?

During Garden of Souls they found some vat grown superbodies and gave one to Johann.

They're... Ok, but I think they have too many important parts of the Mignolaverse in them.
I has too much forced importance.

>>83509518
Nigga, one of the best Pulp comics of the last years.

>>83509829
When it starts dealing with the fate of the universe and unlimited sacred power, it's gone too far.

For a guy who started out as a dick joke, it got way too self important.
Should have just stuck to a pulpy series about a lobster themed Batman beating up 30s gangsters.

>>83508005
...goofy.

>Do we ever find out what happened with those two?

>>83509965
What I like about this artist (I forget which one it is), is that he draws Kate and Liz actually their age.
The later artists forget that Kate and Liz are in the 40s and then 50s.

>>83509945
Sure, but they should either be quacks or be only tangentially important to the real story.
When LJ becomes more important to the fate of the Earth than Hellboy, it's just too much for me.

>>83510070
That's just not true. LJ is important because he fought these things before and his spirit is seeking vengeance. And that's not even taking into account that the events of Nowhere, Nothing, Never imply that this manifestation might not even be the real LJ because Johann can subconsciously manifest fake spirits.
also
>but they should either be quacks or be only tangentially important to the real story.
Bullshit.

I love the BPRD. I love that it survived Hellboy leaving, and has just continued to be amazing.

And I just love the Mignolaverse cast. It just has the best fucking characters.

>>83510150
>might not even be the real LJ because Johann can subconsciously manifest fake spirits.
Johann has never made cards appear though.

LJ in this story is a Deus ex Machina.
Comes out of the blue to save the day. Multiple times.

Compare him to when he shows up in Conqueror Worm. Hellboy and Rodger (RIP) save the day. What LJ does is tertiary.
Now he's the one who saves Liz and the BPRD directly.

>>83510500
I guess you could see it that way but I just view it as one big story, so this is just a continuation of LJ's dealings with Memnan Saa in the past, just as LJ's dealings were a continuation of Edward Grey

>>83509343
I'm pretty sure Johann is as modern as everybody else in the series.

He died in some big psychic event that killed a bunch of the BPRD's psychics and a lot more otherwise around the world, well into the late nineties (or was it the early aughts?).

>>83510670

Fucking Ospreys.
Not even safe on the ground.

I can't remember if they ever truly defeated this guy, but I think they did?

Poor Devon.

Is he still around nowadays?

>>83511203
Mr. Bones Wild Ride has left the station. Please keep all arms and legs inside the vehicle until the Apocalypse has come to a complete and total stop.
Estimated time of arrival: Never.

>>83511230
Yeah, the fucker lied about who shot Abe

>>83511177
Pfff, I love this series so much.

>>83507780
Is Menma EVEN oriental? He is based on the fu manchu archetype and use a lot of oriental magic, but his name and background point for him to be english.

>>83511835
He was the head of Egyptology at the British Museum. After he met Panya he was kicked out of the Brotherhood of Ra. After he killed his mentor Gustav Strobl he went to prison. After he got out he went to a monestary and studied under some monks where he changed his name from Martin Gilfryd to Memnan Saa

>>83511999
I know.

But he looks like a chinese man. Its the eyes and the mustache, so I don't know if he is just a weeabo or if he has any relation to eastern countries.

>>83512074
Well, he is clearly an English orientalist. Dunno about his ancestry.

>>83512074
I don't think they'd hire a chinese man to lead the Egyptology department in Victorian London and his name is Germanic.

Hellboy, the Mignola-verse, and the BPRD are so fantastic... but there are so many stories in them, they pretty much are their own giga-continuity.

How can anyone ever read it all at this point? I'd feel awful just pirating it, but between the problems of availability, and cost, I'm not sure it's feasible to do otherwise.

Mignola's own success is a curse.

thanks OP. I've barely read any Mignola, so this was grat to be able to catch up.
