Sep 23, 2026It’s never great when you can read something and just identify all of its influences, but those influences are clearly not being hidden here.

The story is largely set up here, but it does it well and makes it accessible even if you haven’t read Giant Robot Hellboy. You may even be better off not reading it, in fact. I love the artwork and the overall aesthetic of it, so I’m glad I took a chance on it and to see where the rest of the miniseries goes. Read Full Review
