Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1953 by Mike Mignola, Chris Roberson

4.0

Hellboy is forever fun, both the character himself and the universe he anchors. It's not wholly defined and that's the way it works for me. There is another world that breathes dark glowing life through ours as we know it, and Hellboy has a legacy of fighting bozo monsters. Here, he's not the tired fighter he eventually becomes after decades you realize of not making substantial progress. In 1953, he's still roaming with his mentor and father figure, but he's still learning just what is out there. I didn't love it as much as I do Hellboy just roaming around in his main trades, but still fun as hell.
