\"\"<\/a>Frustratingly, Helloboy Vol 10 does not continue the story arc of Vol 9, but instead is another collection of stories, all set in Hellboy’s past.<\/p>\n

Mind you, I tend to prefer the “short story” Hellboy collections, but the story line was really heating up at the end of Vol 9.<\/p>\n

I hate waiting.<\/p>\n

There are four stories in the collection, all of which are interesting, but I have to admit I kinda liked the last story the best, because it was kind of silly and the idea of it was rather fascinating.<\/p>\n

The first story, however, really good. It was based on Appalachian folklore and touches on everything from basic witchcraft to the Melungeons.
