Hellboy is pure gold September 20, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Mike Mignola is a one-of-a-kind creator,
a truly original.
Mixing such disparate elements like gothic
aesthetics, hard boiled action, heroism,
lovecraftean dread and weird science, Hellboy's
saga is becoming one of the most idiossincratic,
original and BEAUTIFUL creations to ever
grace mainstream comics. Thanks to the vision
and graphic virtuosism of Mike Mignola.
While ALL the original graphic novels are worth
reading, I have a soft spot for the first five that
covers the B.P.R.D. period and shows how deftly
Mignola incorporate and blends influences and ele-
ments from differents artistic areas that ranges from
the "low-brow" world of pulp fiction and crime-noir
to asian folklore and surrealist art.
To put it simply, HELLBOY ROCKS!!!!

I LOVE HELLBOY!! September 7, 2007
Great collection at a great price. I am a big Graphic Novel fan, and Hellboy is without a doubt my favorite. Mike Mignola is a real talent. I've read them all, but this is the first that I have purchased. I am sure that I'll get the other collections soon.

The Seed of Destruction starts with the origin of big red, but does include a couple of other short stories.

A group of soldiers, with the support of some paranormal researchers raid an operation by some nazis and a sorcerer. Things blow up, and a baby Hellboy is found.

Skip to later, and some frog monsters are menacing Hellboy's human father, Bruttenholm. He dies, leaving Hellboy and the organisation to stop what is happening. Events tie in to his coming to our world.

Not Quite Right... July 20, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

Having read some of the Hellboy spin-off B.P.R.D. (a mixed bag) and a Hellboy guest artists comic, I've finally got round to reading Mike Mignola's Hellboy (Vol.1) proper. Sadly I found it a bit of an underwhelming experience. All the ingredients for an entertaining or slightly tongue in cheek adventure (a la League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) are here - including Rasputin, lost Himalayan temples, Lovecraftian monsters and Nazi Occultists - but somehow it is not witty enough to be satirical, nor dark or mysterious enough to have real resonance. Hellboy's Chandler-esque narration is also rather cliched and quickly grates. The almost abstract artwork however is very interesting and effectively conveys the shadowy paranormal world in which the story takes place. Overall an artistically ambitious comic let down by a rather limited premise.

FROGS! June 26, 2007
'Hellboy: Seeds of Destruction' is a brilliant beginning to an awesome series. The art is breathtaking, yet dark and gritty. The storyline is captivating and toughly entertaining. The characters are completely unbelievable, yet feel so real. This series is defiantly one worth reading.

'Seeds of Destruction' is basically the origin story of Hellboy. HB is investigating the death of his father figure, the only lead he has being frogs. A frog demon creature was responsible for the attack, but HB can not put two and two together on this case. He and the rest of the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense follow a new lead to a cursed mansion that is sinking into a cursed lake where all hell breaks loose (almost literally). All the while we're learning more and more about Hellboy and his past.

There are also two bonus stories, one being Hellboy vs. Anubis (aka Giant Dog Monster) and the other Hellboy vs. Brutus and Herman Von Klempt. These two tales were penned too give people a sample of Hellboys flavor before the comic officially hit shelves. So, they are short and to the point, but still decent for what they are.

BUY THIS COLLECTION! You defiantly will not regret it, the book is worth every penny.
