Let me get you caught up on the action before this issue. Hellboy has quit the B.P.R.D., ended up in England where he turned down a coven of witches to be their king. They then, in turn, brought back to life Nimue who has declared herself one of the goddesses of war and gathered an army of raging demons. Hellboy has also found out he’s related to one of the kings of England, fallen in love again and given up an eye to get past the army of demons to get to Nimue to kill her for what she’s trying to do. Now, he’s stick in a final battle with her to try and stop her and to save the world. Since this has been buzzing I’ll say this, would you sacrifice yourself for the sake of the planet and everyone on it?

First of all, the art is standard for Hellboy. They have stuck with this same style that works with every issue I’ve read from him and they haven’t gone wrong yet. Paneling is also the same, simple square shapes and full-page panels. Again, it’s always worked, why change now. Now, here’s the point that I want to make, even thought there’s not that much dialog in this issue it is spot on. It gets the full message and story across without adding too much or leaving questions about this or that. In this issue, it seemed to work even better than normal.

Now, I lucked out because I was able to read all three issues in this story. The whole story flowed beautifully. I felt myself watching, as if I was on the sideline to what’s going on and feeling helpless to stop it. It really drew me in. This issue in particular, was so easy to lose yourself in. I know of the buzz around the issue that Hellboy dies, I felt as if I felt everything that was going on. I can’t say enough good about this one folks. In my humble opinion, you need to get all three and read them through it’s worth it. I give this 5 caps out of 5.
