Hellboy: House of the Living Dead HC
Dark Horse Comics
Mignola & Corben
Following up on a previous one-shot where Hellboy befriends and then watches a Lucha Libre die at the hands of a demon while Hellboy appears to be on a bender in Mexico back in the 1950s. This story is a step in another direction as a man approaches Hellboy and says he is needed to fight a demon or an innocent girl dies. This launches Hellboy into a battle that includes the likes of Frankenstein and other monsters. It's a fun story but I question why it's pushed across as a graphic novel in hardcover format. Overall it's a good Hellboy one-shot to checkout.
Media Release -- While fans mourn the loss of Hellboy in the tragic ending of Hellboy: The Fury last week, Dark Horse is incredibly pleased to announce that the big guy returns with an all-new 8 page story in Dark Horse Presents #7.

Hellboy: The Fury #3 of 3
Dark Horse Comics
Mignola & Fegredo
The end of the long running saga in Hellboy hits with the finale to the mini-series called The Fury. This issue truly is an ending in more ways than one. I'm not sure I can write this review without spoiling some of the issue's contents so the high level, spoiler free review is that the book has terrific art, a great fight but a bit of a disappointing ending. Overall the book seems to leave more questions than answers. It will probably get more readers to come back when the series resumes in 2012 but for a mini-series that has been advertised as the ending it falls short of explaining a lot of what has been going on in the book these last few years.
Media Release -- The word is out that today's release of The Fury #3 will rock the comics world to its very core! With word leaking out over the last week that big changes are in store for Dark Horse's most recognizable character, this third issue has sold out before even arriving on shelves.

Hellboy: The Fury #1 of 3
Dark Horse Comics
Mignola & Fegredo
As the final story arc in this King Arthur storyline begins we have the setup to Hellboy's battle with Nimue as well as a new player for the crown of England. This issue is great because it pretty much lays out the story in as straightforward a manner as any Hellboy story has in the past. Usually the Hellboy stories are heavy on the occult and layered with subtle hints, but this issue pretty much spells everything out for the reader and it works because the drama still builds by the end and the action keeps the issue flowing nicely.

Hellboy: Being Human #1
Dark Horse Comics
Mignola & Corben
Hellboy delivers some of the best, self-enclosed, one shots out there today and "Being Human" is no different. The story isn't overly complex and doesn't try to overwhelm the reader with too much information jammed into twenty two pages. Instead, the issue pairs Hellboy with an interesting character from his history and tells a fun and entertaining story. I can't imagine a better selling factor for someone looking to read a comic book.

Hellboy: Buster Oakley Gets His Wish
Dark Horse Comics
Mignola & Nowlan
This issue was solicited as the most bizarre Hellboy story of the year. To be more accurate, this is arguably the most bizarre in the history of the character. The book is complete with devil worship, missing livestock, missing kids, aliens, robots, flying pigs, men with cow heads and UFOs. It is a very strange story but a terrific one and done comic book. This comic has a lot to like about it but I can see some folks being turned off by the nature of the odd story. It doesn't exactly feel like the kind of thing Hellboy would get into usually, but all in all it's a good book.
