Summary: Absolutely stunning!
Review: The art was awesome! The story was very strong! My only problem would be that there was a couple of parts to the story that I found to be weak. Because of this the story could only be very strong instead of awesome. I will follow the adventures of Mike Mignola's "Hellboy" for the rest of my life. This book was so good that I only intended to briefly look it over before I read the second Hellboy collection that I have recently bought. After looking over the first couple of pages I couldn't help myself but to get involved with the story and art all over again. It is very rare that I will re-read a book. This book is so good that I had to do it again. "Hellboy: Seeds of Destruction" is the highest form of what a graphic novel can be. I will rate it five stars. Even with a couple of weak links in the plot it is still material of the highest caliber.

Summary: From Hell It Came
Review: This is the first book in the Hellboy series (soon to be a major motion picture). This is the only book I have read in the series, so far. It's an good start. The characters are intriguing and the artwork is fantastic. It made me want to read more of Hellboy's stories, which of course is what the first comic in a series is supposed to do. I would recommend this book to comics fans who like their heroes to be a bit out of the ordinary.

Summary: Did he come from Hell, or did he come to save us from it?
Review: When strangeness threatens to engulf the world, a strange man will come to save it. Hellboy is the world's greatest paranormal investigator. Unfortunately for him, one of the only mysteries he's never been able to solve is the mystery of his own origins. Red-skinned, pointy-tailed, and horned, Hellboy tends to stand out in a crowd. In SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION, Hellboy, the world's greatest paranormal investigator, is the only thing standing between sanity and insanity as he battles the mystical forces of the netherworld and a truly bizarre plague of frogs. And if he fails, we all fail with him! "...HELLBOY is a brilliant example of how to elevate the comic of the future to a higher literary level while achieving a higher pitch of excitement. Its story line combines traditional concepts with modern frames of reference, the whole being swept along by a virtuoso treatment of dazzling artistic effect...This is far from the "pop art" of the Andy Warhol world or the inane imagery of the drug culture. The creative approach found in HELLBOY is a newly evolving art form of its own, addressed and attuned to today." from the introduction by Robert Bloch, author of Psycho
