Welcome, welcome, welcome back. It’s another week of comics and for you cool kids this week I have a small bunch of comics to present to ye.

I was indifferent on three of comics but the forth was great and I want to explain my opinions on each. We’ll begin after a short break…

Hellboy II Poster

I’ve been looking forward to the sequel to Hellboy since I first saw it in 2005, and even more so since I got the director’s cut, which adds very little and yet still vastly enriches the story. Hell, I hadn’t (and still haven’t) read any of Mike Mignola’s comics, but the wise-cracking, cat-loving portent of doom won me over within minutes of Ron Perlman’s defining portrayal. His immersion into the character is arguably the first time anyone in a comic adaptation truly took his role seriously. Yet, despite my impatient yearning, I almost forgot it came out this year thanks to it being buried under the hype of The Dark Knight. But I remembered just in time to catch it opening weekend, and I still don’t know what to think of it.

Inspired by Nick’s Rapid Review, I’m going to do an earlier version of the same type of thing, but I’m not sure if this will be re-occurring… we’ll see.

If you happen to be on peeing or in a hurry, this should do you well…
