\"hellboy-in-hell-vol1\"<\/a>My feelings about Hellboy? <\/p>\n

It’s complicated.<\/p>\n

I tend to love the Hellboy collections that are more-or-less short story collections of his adventures. The stories about Hellboy’s inheritance, I tend to enjoy much less, so… every other collection I love.<\/p>\n

Hellboy in Hell, Volume I, is set immediately following The Storm and the Fury<\/em> and–as is obvious from the title–finds Hellboy in Hell.<\/p>\n

It’s also one of the collection that I tend to find confusing. <\/p>\n

That doesn’t mean it isn’t good, it just means that I prefer the short story collection type volumes. They’re lighter and typically end better. But, as I want to know about what happens to Hellboy, I keep reading.
\nRating: 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n
