Abe Sapien: The Drowning and Other Stories

Abe's first solo adventure reveals him as a guy (fish-guy? alien-guy?) with a whole slew of demons to face. Some of those demons are his own misgivings about his abilities, and some of those demons are mean little soul-sucking creatures created by an ancient devil who is about to be awakened from his watery resting place.Great pacing - Mignola works frame-by-frame with his illustrators, and his eye for cinema and mood really shows, no matter who is doing the drawing. Always interesting to see how different artists conceptualize these characters who I love so well.A possible spoiler side-note: does anyone but me think that these strange glowing butterfly pod of the sea visions that Abe has been having of late (e.g. [b:B.P.R.D.
