Hellboy in Hell in the Media

Comic Book Resources

"Mignola's artistry is on display continually here. Not many people could get away with a two panel sequence where a hammer's swinging down on Hellboy in the first one, and the second one merely having the word "BOOM" etched into a blank background, but it feels so wonderfully right that you just smile and nod in response."

"This may be the most compositionally perfect book I’ve read all year. Where Duncan Fegredo’s art and panelling emphasized dynamic majesty, Mignola’s work is brooding and understated. This is apparent right from the cover, resembling as it does a gothic-horror penny-dreadful from centuries past."

"Mike Mignola surely hasn’t lost his storytelling magic. The book flows so perfectly from panel to panel, which is a single example of his imagination and abilities as an artist."

"All the qualities that make Hellboy great are apparent here, and there should be few problems for readers who choose to jump on board. Mignola provides a recap page that efficiently explains Hellboy's current predicament before diving into the action."

"Mignola absolutely nails every page here. His figures are appropriately grotesque and Gothic, while his backgrounds look like the lovechild of Jack Kirby and Fritz Lang."

"This is a must for Hellboy fans, if not solely for the return of Mignola to the character."

"This is a story that I have been looking forward to for quite some time and it is one that definitely did not disappoint. The way the issue is presented is really beautiful and it is definitely a great start to a new series."

"Mike Mignola is an amazing storyteller, and this is never is this more evident than when he is both writing and drawing a story. Mignola keeps his script to just dialogue and monologue, with very little exposition, preferring to let his artwork do much of the storytelling, which it does in splendid fashion."

"Hellboy in Hell is great. It's mean and packed and funny in all the right ways... but after I finished it, I couldn't help but find myself wondering how Mignola is going to rip my guts out this time. Dig into it a little and see how it makes you feel."
