Hellboy in Mexico

Mantic Games has announced a new limited-edition expansion for Hellboy: The Board Game is in stores now. Working with visionary creator Mike Mignola and Dark Horse Comics, Mantic has created Hellboy in Mexico featuring new heroes, new missions and new terrifying villains.

Previously only available as an optional extra in the Kickstarter campaign, this limited-edition expansion tells the story of Hellboy’s lost period in Mexico, when he became a Mexican wrestler, fought vampires alongside three luchador brothers and faced off against the horrifying Camazotz – a giant wrestling vampire bat!

Available direct from Mantic Games or from gaming stores around the world, Hellboy in Mexico is a limited-edition, one-print expansion that will not be available again once it has sold out.

Hellboy: The Board Game is a cooperative experience in which players face off against some of the comic’s most famous foes. Up to four people take control of iconic B.R.P.D. members – Hellboy, Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman, and Johann Kraus – before exploring gothic locations, uncovering ancient artifacts and battling one of Hellboy’s most notorious foes, Rasputin! After launching in April 2019, the game is now available in multiple languages (French, Italian, Brazilian and Russian) and is on its third reprint after selling out worldwide.

In 1956, Hellboy caravans across Mexico—vampire hunting with luchadores, finding the Aztec gods, fighting evil turkeys and Frankenstein’s monster, and drinking way too much tequila, in the strangest collection of his adventures yet.

Hellboy in Mexico collects “Hellboy versus the Aztec Mummy,” “Hellboy Gets Married,” and “The Coffin Man 2: The Rematch” from Dark Horse Presents, “The Coffin Man” from Hellboy 20th Anniversary Sampler, Hellboy in Mexico, and Hellboy: House of the Living Dead.

Humor, horror, and just plain strange tales are contained in this interesting trade paperback collecting stories from a who’s who of creators. In many ways this is an extension of Hellboy: Weird Tales, since like that collection, each tale here is interconnected but separate. Each tale is has a small anecdote prelude to it before the story begins that gets you read. It also gives some entertaining insights to Mike Mignola’s creative process.

The art is exquisite throughout, with each tale clearly showing the unique influence, or art style of Mike Mignola. Each artist manages to manages to make the art theirs as their individual tales unfold while still flowing and feeling like it all goes together. Of course like most Hellboy comics and graphic novels, the art manages to showcase the strange life Hellboy leads as an agent of the BPRD and is as much of a draw as is the stories themselves.
