- While Hellboy’s robotic counterpart battles giant monsters on a faraway island, the scientists running the mission scramble when things at the lab get more than a little out of hand.
Inspired by Mignola’s viral-hit pencil drawings from Mike Mignola: The Quarantine Sketchbook, Giant Robot Hellboy gets his own story in this 3-part miniseries from Mignola and longtime Hellboy artist Duncan Fegredo!
Writer: Mike Mignola
Artist: Duncan Fegredo
Cover Artist: Duncan Fegredo
“Style over substance”. Yes, very true. Considering the state of commercial comics, I’ll happily take it. Artwork is wonderful. 👍
Ow yeah. The writing nowadays is abysmal. So the pretty pictures are welcome.
Somebody...Mignola wrote this, what!?...has been paying too much attention (that is, any at all) to the lousy Americanization-Hollywoodization of Kong/'Zilla and a bunch of people called Monarch. What with flashbacks/settings/briefings in the past of giant monster encounters.
“This story, three issues 'long', was 'inspired by' some pencil sketches in a Mignola sketchbook”...uh, okay, that's some light fluff for a basis. At least Mr. Mike has used another artist who's drawing a style that's copycat to Mignola's own signature Hellboy style. Style, style...too much, and I guess we'll have to look to our hardcover Compendium collections for the Hellboy substance. I've still got Hellboy in Hell to read, eventually. Cheers anyway for your efforts, and I'll join you for your burning of this next issue, to be continued. Have a great day, Marinus!
I need to read more of Mignola's work to see if there a pattern with his work, sinds he mostly writes stories pretty good.
I just looked at the pretty pictures the whole time. Yeah. Like the alot. Very similair style but also different.
Me too. I'm halfway the compendiums :). They are big pills and i love it. Yes i will do that, Mike, because i think the ending will not be great ( hope i'm wrong).
You too, Mike. "Till the next one.
