Hellboy in Hell Volume 2: The Death Card Paperback – October 18, 2016

Hellboy has been my favorite comic for a long time and this is no letdown. Mr. Mignola has a seemingly endless imagination and still has the ability to surprise. A great read! Buy it.

Love the evocative art! Love the way the stories seem deep - maybe deeper than what they really are. A thoughtful book!

uuuuuuuuuuugh i love mike mignola. every panel he draws could be blown up & framed as an individual work of art.

This volume collects "Hellboy in Hell" issues 6 through 10, (and a related but stand alone story), and marks the end of the Hellboy in Hell arc. It follows directly on from "Hellboy in Hell: Volume 1" and wraps up what was addressed in that volume.As always we have great writing and art. Even more than in the previous volume we have many fascinating and entertaining supporting characters, from Hellboy's Spanish bride, through the Vampire of Prague, and on to insane mapmakers, incompetent, (and amusing), doctors, Hellboy's sister, and a large cast from Pandemonium itself. While the story moves around a good bit it's easy enough to follow through to the end, and that end is satisfying although not, to me, a total wow.The only problem is that in order to make room for all of these characters, all of the plotting and digressions, and the story's conclusion, Hellboy has to take a bit of a backseat and sometimes drifts out of the story entirely. He does a lot of listening and reacting. I like it when Mignola goes off on a storytelling tangent, and I like joining Hellboy on the sidelines while other characters carry on, but sometimes it felt like Hellboy wasn't in his own comic.That said, this Volume fits nicely in with Volume 1, there's certainly enough Hellboy to satisfy, and the whole story hangs together nicely. It's elegant, refreshing, and especially witty, and I don't know how you can do much better than that.(Please note that I received a free advance will-self-destruct-in-x-days Adobe Digital copy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

Hellboy will be around for a long time but I'm glad to see one of my favorite characters get such a great end to his story.

What an ending...

loved it
