Heh.
>>91951279
Waaaait a second.
Bob hung himself? Wasn't he killed when the saboteur blew up the train back in the 40s?
Come to think of it, that toy-shop boogeyman story was maybe part of a collection of the Weird Tales collections too...
Chronanon... you didn't accidentally include non-canon material in the story-dump, did you?
>>91951389
We saw those frogs somewhere else in this storytime... and I thought it rather odd at the moment.
quick question, does abe age?
>>91951700
i know right, i'd kill for a bprd x-com.
>>91951894
Night Train is canon as far as I know, it was collected in Soul of Venice and Other Sources.
>>91951894
I didn't realize there were any non-canon stories
>>91951198
johann got cunty after briefly becoming a playboy. sad really, he was a bro first time in the suit.i'm not caught up with the story but apparently he redeems himself, or so i heard
>>91952004
I can understand where he's coming from when he got his body, especially after he saw what happens with the "special" BPRD Agents like him and Roger when they die. But he was still a massive dickass
>>91951923
I think the Heliopic Brotherhood had one in a case somewhere as a keepsake. Can't seem to google it and I don't have the time to reread it all right now.
>>91951645
I honestly love this colonel.
He has so little clue about anything that is happening.
>>91952004
He does.
Personally I've always been quite lenient with Johann's character because, well, it's obvious isn't it? His personality is affected by a lack of flesh just as much as it was affected by regaining it and on top of that he has now effectively died twice, It would be unfair not to give him a good amount of leeway.
Panya is a bitch to him for no good reason and all things considered, she really should know better.
>>91952055
The painted symbols are also similar to the stones that Gall Dennar's shaman painted
>>91951676
This cult is so full of itself, it's amazing.
Yes, you have remnants of Golden People teachings that allow you to perform mentalism, shapeshifting and some Left Hand alchemy.
No, you are not enlightened super beings.
>>91951827
Good. Beat the shit out of that smug bastard.
Memnan Saa is literally the hero we needed but not the one we deserved. All signs point towards him having shit under control, at least considerably more so than the BPRD and let us not forget that without a few extremely important tips from Saa the BPRD would not have been able to go on to do what they did.
And yet he will always be remembered as a bitch.

>flaming double serpent crest
Waitaminute, that's a modified standard of Thulsa Doom from the Conan movie!
>>91951925
Like Hellboy and Liz, he doesn't seem to really age whenever he isn't crazy-stupid depressed or under someone's mind-whammy.
And YES. I was thinking of X-Com when I wrote videogame.
It'd be so damn good! Hell, we know that you can learn magic/psychic/whatever bullshit, so that even leaves an option for super agents!
Granted, if it wasn't during the Frogs arc, the mood would be drastically different than what you'd get from XCom...
>>91951926
Hmm... if they break that statue, will a Hyperoborean Vril princess be inside of it?
>It is saturday again.
Sweet jesus, where does time go
>>91951968
Looked it up. It was just coming out at the same time as Weird Tales. That's probably why I was confused.
>>91951979
The novels are non-canon, Weird Tales are non-canon... the movies and cartoons if you want to count them are, too.
>>91951895
oh fuck this is disgusting
>>91952105
oh i can totally understand why and wouldn't dislike him for being a cunt, but still. i also get the feeling that he was less likable as a living human being for whatever reason.
>>91952365
Cause he was a bitch.
He was active with these Chutt fuckers back in the 50s and 60s. If he had reached out to the BPRD or the SID or any of the major supernatural government organizations, he could have done serious good.
But he was too busy deciding that the world was already lost, all the way back in 1890, building up his personal cult of sycophants, misinterpreting every old scripture, worshiping Hecate and plotting for his own power.
In the 20s he called himself the Emperor of the World, then tortured a scientist to death because he couldn't be bothered to deal with him on an equal playing field.
>>91952492
>lesser faith
>shows Shonchin
Of fuck me, the answer was there all along.
>>91952706
And despite all that there have been far FAR worse characters in the series AND he was most equipped to win the war.
Like he says himself, you've got to look at the bigger picture. They can't pull off what they did more than once, if you know what i'm talking about.
>>91952737
Christ! What does that thing fire?
>>91952616
>trusting serpents
>trusting Hecate
>trusting visions at all, ever
Next thing you know, he'll tell us about this great faith healer he knows...
>>91952925
LIKE
A
BITCH
>>91952831
I'm not saying he couldn't have done good.
But he's petty and obviously on the wrong path. He's almost literally the equivalent of the Left Hand Path for the current human races. The Heliopic Brotherhood are more likely to be the actual successors of that route.
He worships Hecate. He's in a Hyperborean city with a statue of the Black Goddess blocking out, most likely, the Hypoborean Vril Princess that should be in its place. He's wrong for reasons that he doesn't understand, all while he tells others that they lack understanding.
Going along with him, as he is now, is the same as Hellboy taking up the sword and crown. It seems like a good idea, but it's just another path of damnation.
>>91952844
Well considering they've been fighting frogs, and we've seen the earlier (stronger) frogs being able to go toe-to-toe with Roger and Hellboy, they very well may be explosive rounds.
>>91952970
He's returned to save us all!
>>91953485
This is why you don't split up.
>>91953616
Makes me think of the Punisher in Valhalla.
>>91953647
Leave Devon in charge for like five minutes, and he gets captured.
Fucking hell, Devon.
>>91953745
>>91953757
>its the old i was only pretending to be legitimately dead trick
>>91953675
>5 minutes
to be honest, it was at best 30 seconds.
who the hell would let him join on any field mission?
>>91953877
Huh, so there it is.
That ancient Spanish priest that went full Ogdru-cultist, WAS actually hoping that humanity would turn to infernal forces for salvation.
>>91954078
Ah ha ha this is going to suck.
>>91954106
>Kate and Panya alive
>Hellboy back with the BPRD
HAH! Nice try, ruse-man!
>>91953061
Weird as hell, having a ghost-possessed ghost in your back seat for a European road trip, bitching like your senile WW2 grandpa. "I've been here before. Did I ever tell you how many Nazis I killed on D-Day? Ten and a half!".
>>91953643
Makes me think about the Jim Hammond Human Torch, melting Nazis in Heaven.
>>91954158
>>91954171
mignola's watercolor stuff is insanely good.
>>91954128
>Man-fish Abe instead of fish-man Abe
At least one thing in the vision was true.
>>91954287
McWhirter, you mother fucker.
>>91954427
This should have felt like such a victory...
>>91954338
And the best part is it's going to get so much worse!
>>91954504
RACIST!
thank you for the storytime :)
>>91954567
Oh look, Liz has run away. Again.
>>91954550
I need to see how Abe fought this guy... was he the one that Abe tossed a fuel container onto?
>>91951008
>>>10508063
Sorry, I was in the bathroom. Gonna take another little break and be back for one more today.
>>91954667
You're a better man than I, Gung-anon.
>>91954649
Yep, tossed it near him and his buddy, the tank exploded, McWhirther landed in the ocean next to his old-ass sub.
>>91954699
Just doing my bit. It's easier with the pass than it was other years. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna storytime every weekend until it runs out.Has anybody read Courtney Crumrin?
It's a great all ages book that is very Mignolaesque
>>91954201
why would be any nazis in heaven?
>>91954550
I always love how these ridiculously anachronistic cyborgs move/behave. He's in a power frame of brass yet still slumps in a comfy 19th century chair beside a draiperied tea table set...
>>91954944
It's hell, for them.
>>91954944
>why would be any nazis in heaven?
Which Heaven? Remember, this is a setting with a 'frog heaven'.
Hell, I'm pretty sure there was legit Nazi only a couple books ago who was using the spear of Logarus to summon some Eldritch 'Angels'.
>>91953877
So I know who the fly is, but what faction does the spider represent?
>>91955392
Based on what I know?
Another Hell-faction that Satan probably put up to keep his lessers from uniting and over taking him.
>>91954504
And the dickery begins
>>91955392
Anansi?
>>91955392
Either the Ogdru Hem or Vampires. Ogdru Hem makes sense, since the black flame was all them. The Fly was Hell, right?
I wonder if now that Hell is fucked, the Hem stopped moving for a bit, and humanity is weak, if the vampires will finally start wrecking shit.
>>91955621
The Odgru would be the serpent, or the dragon or something like that. Eel?
Regardless, I'm pretty sure that Spider is just another Hell-faction. The old Spanish priest didn't want mankind to become slaves to the Spider and Fly, and he was pretty heavily Ogdru-aligned.
>>91955744
But we've only ever seen Order of the Fly rings. Do you really think Pluto's hell has anything left, especially after what Varvara did?
>>91954504
Thus it begins: The downfall of Devon.
>>91955401
Our host didn't post the link for the next thread!
>>91955401
>>91955744
I think the eels are their own thing. They don't like Abe, so they're probably not even aligned with that ocean god.
>>91955955
The only other option is that the Spider is the vampire hordes.
And they are loosely aligned with Hecate, and thus the Ogdru. Even if they fight against the Ogdru, they don't have the firepower to deal with the Ogdru when they start to murder across the planet.
>>91956082
thanks helper anon
>>91951895
This artist is really good at drawing really gross stuff.
>>91952885
Ach. I wanted to go to bed earlier, but the satisfaction of seeing this s.o.b. getting btfo keeps me hooked.
>>91956108
The only response I have to that, is that one of the Mona worshipers refer to it as a Hem. That's pretty standard Ogdru-worship talk.
>>91956082
Oh god, I'm so sorry. There's a lot more steps to setting up the storytimers secret autobump method with a pass.
>>91953908
kek
>>91954171
Poor Liz just gets backseat drivers constantly...
>>91954427
This sure felt like a bait'n'switch.
>>91954504
Fuck you Devon.
>>91953616
I love that the lobster is finally at peace, beating up Nazi's for the rest of time
>>91954136
I'm more surprised that he went with a buff Devon
>>91954158
I been looking for this page for a while!

Man fuck this universe man, the monster in here and what happens to people that come in contact with them is just horrible
