| 1. Baltimore,: Or, The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire | 
|
By: Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden Publisher: Spectra August 28, 2007
This is a horror story set in Europe during the early to mid 1900's (not told) and obviously is influenced by the Hans Christian Anderson tale "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", and this book even includes that story at the end of the novel (at least in the special edition). This book started a little rough, but then it kicked in and was a smooth ride. It seems to be a type of folklore and mythological tale... more

| 2. The Amazing Screw-on Head | 
|
Starring: Paul Giamatti, David Hyde Pierce, Patton Oswalt, Corey Burton, Mindy Sterling Directed By: Chris Prynoski February 06, 2007
Based on the one-shot comic of the same name by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, "The Amazing Screw-on Head" is an absolute masterpiece of droll, offbeat humor and, stylish low-rent animation. It was created as a pilot for a possible series on the Sci-Fi channel, and it's one of cult entertainment's greatest travesties that it was not picked up. It was, however awesome enough to warrant a full DVD release... more

| 3. B.P.R.D. Volume 10: The Warning (B.P.R.D. (Graphic Novels)) | 
|
By: Mike Mignola, John Arcudi Publisher: Dark Horse Comics May 01, 2009
I wanted to give this 3 1/2 stars but of course that is impossible. I love the BPRD series and from number 3 onwards it has been fantastic and in a way that is why I am giving this a fairly low rating. The Killing Ground was a great episode and this one after it is a bit of a let down compared to that. The art by Guy Davis is still awesome but the story was a muddle and I couldn't quite get my head... more

|
By: Mike Mignola, John Arcudi, Guy Davis Publisher: Dark Horse October 28, 2009
Ok first off I just read this last night so I don't know how reflective this review will be but - WOW!
I was a bit let down by the previous stories in The Warning because I found it to confusing and not really going anywhere. It felt like a set up and there were meaningless character interactions which drew me away from the plot like the budding romance between Kate and the German... more

For anyone who likes the Hellboy or BPRD series, this is a must read. Abe Sapien is one of my favourite characters in the series. So, of course, I had to add this to my collection!!!... more

When I got the BPRD series, I took them to work and shared them with those of my co-workers who read Hellboy and BPRD. Everyone liked them. Of course, I like them, too... more

| 7. B.P.R.D., Vol. 1: Hollow Earth & Other Stories (Hellboy) | 
|
By: Mike Mignola Publisher: Dark Horse August 04, 2004
Hollow Earth is a wonderful story. First of all the characters are so alive. Complex emotions. I keep coming back to scenes and not get bored. Even tough, it lacks the charismatic character of Hellboy is not there. Abraham is an reluctant leader and the enigmatic Roger and the awkward and puzzling Johannes, makes up for the Hellboy's power play. I was introduced to BPRD from Hellboy movie so, was a... more

| 8. B.P.R.D. Volume 9: 1946 (B.P.R.D. (Graphic Novels)) (v. 9) | 
|
By: Joshua Dysart, Mike Mignola Publisher: Dark Horse November 12, 2008
I normally avoid BPRD releases because they scare me. Having people tinker with the makings of the Mignola universe is, in a word, unpredictable. sometimes you have a great story and sometimes you don't, and other times you have little bits and pieces missing that are just too much to ignore. In 1946 I found myself happily entertained, however, because this had so many of the things that older Hellboy... more

| 9. Lobster Johnson Volume 1: Iron Prometheus (v. 1) | 
|
By: Mike Mignola, Jason Armstrong, Dave Stewart Publisher: Dark Horse June 25, 2008
Lobster Johnson, spectre and lead on a number of Hellboy "spook stories," is not simply a myth like the department told us. Just like we saw in the Con. Worm, the claw is out there and the claw is hungry for vengence. The claw existed in another era, however, and that era was one that did not have all the things we have grown accustomed to. In some ways it even reminded me of an old pulp-style Batman... more

|
By: John Arcudi, Mike Mignola Publisher: Dark Horse January 27, 2010
This is Guy Davis at his best. A must read for Hellboy fans and newcomers to the BPRD titles. The characters are very well written and continue to mature as the title continues to expand. The story is involving ad the art work is awe inspiring. I couldn't imagine anyone else trying to capture the unique creepy edge that these characters possess other than Davis. A true classic of modern day pop... more
