Hellboy: Weird Tales (Volume Two)
Mike Mignola
This volume felt a lot shorter than the first one, but had a lot more extras. For the most part, the stories were mediocre. Again, there were some that were great and some that didn’t really seem to have more of a point than to be glorified fan art. I was excited to see Craig Thompson took part in this (he wrote Blankets), but I was disappointed his story didn’t blow me out of the water.
The extras here are the usual sketches and covers as well as a few “issues” of a Lobsterman comic from World War II. I was pretty excited about that. Besides this though, the volume really didn’t add too much to the previous one. Like I said before, if you’re a huge Hellboy fan, then grab a copy. If you’re meh about the series, then don’t bother picking this one up.
