Hellboy peers into the darkness, looking for light

Monday, April 30, 2007 - Soon Van

Hellboy: Darkness Calls #1

Hellboy: Darkness Calls #1; written by Mike Mignola with art by Duncan Fegredo

When walking through a pitch dark cave, it'd be a good idea to be in there with a light of some sort. And, when there is a mine to be excavated, a little birdy for the ride. Most often a canary. If it's a gonna, there's gas about.

And the last thing you need is to step into a gassy area with a torch that doesn't need batteries.

Witches all across the world seek out Hellboy, but this time, they're not just after revenge.

The long-awaited follow-up to 2005's The Island, the six-issue miniseries Darkness Calls sees Mike Mignola pushing his greatest creation, Hellboy, toward the next major turning point in his life, with haunting art by Duncan Fegredo (Enigma, Ultimate Adventures).

Hellboy: Darkness Calls #1 (of 6) from Dark Horse Comics


Milk and cookies theatre as the house gets classy with Marvel Illustrated: Last of the Mohicans. Adapting James Fenimore Cooper's novel, Roy Thomas, Steven Kurth and Denis Medri disappears between the encroaching civilization of one world dominating and wiping out another.

While back in black, right here, in the Sensational Spider-Man Annual it's with Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca taking a back track. Found a zit on the inside of the finger tip. Ow, does it ever hurt.

Pretty much child's play as Chucky goes a hacking and a slashing courtesy of being around Brian Pulido and Josh Medors. Andy Barclay, first to encounter the maniac doll, better run for his entrails.

35 is another age and Michael Avon Oeming and Ron Adrian squeeze it up some in Giant Size Red Sonja. Old mix in with the colours of the new and it's a massive load of Sonja to behold.

Evil, evil, evil, oh, but that's just in degrees of cheese fellow line walkers. Watch on as Christopher E. Long and Chee take in a few kids in Ward of the State only to churn them out as killing machines later on by their foster mother. Way to go The System!

The warrior princess who looks and talks like a Kiwi took a dirt nap at the end of the show. Dark Xena by John Layman and Noah Salonga bring up the fact that Gabrielle better watch out how she puts in her request to bring back Xena. Like asking for extra time off from a place you've never worked?

The Winchesters get all pen and inked in Supernatural: Origins with Peter Johnson, Matthew Dow Smith, Geoff Johns and Phil Hester kicking some hide on the folklore and urban legend side. Before the show, before the hunt, and shortly after the flames of mother Mary on the ceiling.
