Way more "Scooby Doo" than "Hellboy" for my taste, with way, waaaay to much focus on the daddy issues of the least interesting character in the book.

I absoultely loved this book! I hadn't had a book to read that } couldn't put down. It was just creepy enough to make my heart beat a little faster. I want to read more Hellboy now!

Hellboy lives in a gothic horror universe anyway, and as long as there's an element of humor thrown in, all that is required for me to be interested in a Hellboy story is a background mythology that fascinates me, and this has one. The side character development is steady without being cloying, and necessary to the overall story, so I was good with that. Actually, this plotline relegates Hellboy to one of a team of four (or five) and we know that works b/c of the BPRD stuff.
A fun book.
