So I never really thought much of Hellboy. The whole thing just sounded a bit silly. Then the movie came out and my friend convinced me to go. It was actually a lot better than I expected. I chalked that up to Guillermo del Toro. Then the animated movies came out and I watched them on Netflix and really enjoyed them. So I was very interested in the second movie which I also enjoyed. I finally, for the first time, picked up a Hellboy comic book at Barnes and Nobles and I have to say that I really was impressed. I loved the art, the dialog, the story, the whole thing. So now I am rapidly obtaining everything I can to read it all from the beginning.
