Hellboy, Vol. 1: Seed of Destruction
Ratings78
Average rating4.2
Hellboy, the world's greatest paranormal detective. Unfortunately for him, the one mystery he's never been able to solve is the mystery of his own origins. Red-skinned, pointy-tailed and horned, he stands out in a crowd. But did he come from hell to damn us or to save us? Mike Mignola's hugely acclaimed series kicks off with a collection of dark and mysterious tales, in which Hellboy tackles a cult of devil-worshipping Nazis, a frog-beast and an ancient evil, one which threatens to open the doors to hell itself. But mankind's ultimate enemy... may be Hellboy himself. Cutting edge comics from the dark side.

This wasn't bad, but it's clear it's just a starting point - not much characterization or even plot yet. It has a very distinctive artistic style which isn't bad, but it's not to my taste. Overall it was interesting to see the origin of the story, but I like the movie better.
Pretty late to the Hellboy party, but I really enjoyed this! Smart and not that gory (which for some reason I thought it would be?)
We have it shelved in adult GNs, which is maybe just because it has a swear word RIGHT IN THE TITLE but the content honestly seems pretty PG-13 to me?? Err I mean unless parents don't want their kids reading about demons, I suppose.
I'd read more Hellboy. And maybe watch the movies? Are the movies good?
Fantastic art and colors! The story didn't develop the Hellboy character very much, but I'm interested enough to read the rest of the books.
