None of these stories are bad, but I think Hellboy really just is best in the comics.

I love the comic books and I enjoyed the movies but this book or short stories left me a bit empty. While there are a few stories which evoke some of the Hellboy excitement for action most are more emotionally based. Its worth a read if you are a fan but if you are new to Hellboy read the comic first so you can get a better feel for the characters.

As with all collections of short stores, some of the stories were good, some were bad, and some needed an editor. Seriously, if the story has such bad grammar or pacing or things out of order enough for me to notice it was bad. After reading the main Hellboy story up to the first end and a bunch of the other books in the Hellboy universe I have been lead to expect a certain level of quality. This did not fully reach that level of quality I had come to expect from the Hellboy name.

Sometimes it's nice to take a break from the long story arcs and plots and just have a few adventures to relieve the stress of saving the cosmos. These short story adventures that take place between story arcs are a nice read for Hellboy fans. Recommended

Very good collection. Just didn't find one that really drug me into it.
