This time Hellboy and his team square off against the gothic horrors of Vampires, witches, wolves and a cult of Hecate.
I loved this. All of the action is tied intrinsically into the story and it all serves to either propel the narrative, flesh out characterizations, or resolve issues from the past. Sometime all three simultaneously.
Each player gets a chance to shine and it never feels overstuffed.
Another point in it's favor; the stakes feel real. I was genuinely concerned for the characters safety. Even Hellboy who is generally treated a bit like The Tick in that he is nigh invulnerable. You usually never worry about him because he is so resilient, but here he meets his match. In fact it's more than his match.
A Terrific chapter that makes me wish there were more of these animated features.
