London is already bathed in blood, its citizenry almost entirely slaughtered by vampiric, reborn Nazi soldiers. And marching through the rivers of blood-thousands of extreme Catholic warriors in creepy cloaks. But the focus of this chaotic eighth volume is the return of Alucard, the slave-paladin of the British Protestants, who's just piloted an aircraft carrier up the Thames to join the fray. It's a crazy face-off between three gory armies and their primary killers. If you think that sounds nuts, wait until you dive into the crimson-stained new volume of Kohta Hirano's creepy-cool Hellsing manga series.

* Presented in the authentic right-to-left manga format and preserved to maintain Hirano's dark, gothy style, Hellsing gives the bloodthirsty manga purists another volume of dark perfection.
