Hellboy In Hell #1 Sells Out!

Posted on by

Retailers around the country are sold out of the critically acclaimed first issue of Hellboy in Hell.

In response, Dark Horse is reprinting the first issue. The reprint is available for reorder now, with an on-sale date of January 30, just 1 week before Hellboy in Hell #3 goes on sale.

After saving the world in The Storm and The Fury, but sacrificing himself and Great Britain, Hellboy is dead, cast into Hell, where he finds many familiar faces, and a throne that awaits him. After several years away, Mike Mignola returns to write and draw Hellboy’s ongoing story. It’s a tale only Mignola could tell, as more of Hellboy’s secrets are at last revealed, in the most bizarre depiction of Hell you’ve ever seen.

Hellboy in Hell #2 arrives on sale this week, January 2nd, at fine retailers everywhere.

Pick of the Week – New Avengers #1

Posted on by

Marvel‘s Marvel NOW! initiative has been hit or miss with the good books leaning towards great and the bad, being utter rubbish. This week sees two releases, of which New Avengers #1 seems to be the most intriguing. Much of the pains of the Marvel universe has been due to the machinations of a group of it’s most powerful individuals. It’s a great concept that hasn’t been taken far enough. It looks like New Avengers picks up that under used plot thread and hopefully takes it in the direction and to the point it deserves.

  • New Avengers #1 – see above
  • Invincible #99 – We’re almost to issue 100 as Invincible must deal with the result of his actions and fight one hell of a battle.
  • The Red Ten #1 – I read this issue back in the days as to when it was micro-distributed. It’s a new take on Agatha Christie’s classic story Ten Little Indians, but with a super hero spin.
  • All-New X-Men #5 – There’s been too many issues of this series released, but they’re really good, so it’s not all bad. The classic X-Men are in the present time and must face what they’ve and the world have become.
  • Hellboy in Hell #2 – Hellboy is fighting for his life as he must battle through the after life.

Pick of the Week – Hellboy in Hell #1

Posted on by

This week’s pick is the return of Hellboy! Dark Horse launches a new Mike Mignola mini-series, Hellboy in Hell #1 which sees the big red guy deal with death and what comes after. I have no idea what came before, I just picked up the comic and dove right in and boy is it fun and entertaining and I want to see so much more. The story is great but Mignola pulls off his usual amazing art as well. If you’re a Hellboy fan or just a casual reader, absolutely check out Hellboy in Hell #1.

  • Hellboy in Hell #1 – See above
  • All-New X-Men #3 – The absolute best of the Marvel NOW! launch has the original X-Men in the modern day and things are about to ramp up.
  • BlackAcre #1 and I Love Trouble #1 – Image has had hit after hit after hit this year and I expect no less from these two series which takes on the sci-fi genre as well as superheroes.
  • Stumptown Vol. 2 #4 – I have absolutely no idea where writer Greg Rucka will take this series next. It’s been an interesting, and somewhat muted ride. It also features one of the best female leads in comics.
  • Avengers #1 and Thunderbolts #1 – Two more first issues from Marvel NOW!. Overall, the relaunch/revamp/reboot has been a disappointment, but these two have a lot of potential. How can you not have high hopes for an Avengers team and that Thunderbolts line-up is amazing. It’ll be interesting to see where both these series go to stand out.
