Reviews and Comments

All in all, this volume offers everything that the Hellboy comics have in store. Good characters, moody investigations, a mixture of the supernatural and the mundane (especially in the most down-to-earth characters and the bureaucracy of the B.P.R.D.) and a good amount of tension, horror and revelations. It also marks the beginning of a long arc, but each volume within is self contained. So good that... I read also volume 2 in one go and I am about to start volume 3.

For years I have been wanting to read the B.P.R.D. series but wanted to have it in a nice, collected format, so I can lend it easily and I don't have to constantly look up the different orders of the plots. Now that I have it (and read already the first one, Hollow Earth) I can say that it's like meeting an old friend afters years of promising to catch up.

The first time travel novel, published a few years before The Time Machine. I have read about a quarter of it and its ideas about science are... not very precise (taking into account when it was written, of course). This novel is more of a social satire than true science fiction, and it is a proto-science fiction novel. This edition of the book also has other short stories that are not related to the main one, so we will see.

On the other hand, the non science bits of the novel (that I have read) are nicely written and with great knowledge of history and society, so it looks like an interesting read at least.

I grew up with the TMNT but, as for the comics, I have only read the first two volumes of East and Laird's original run. This volume, The Last Ronin, is one of the best comics I have ever read. The pacing, plot, art and character development is brilliant and executed with great care. After reading this, I just want to read more of the TMNT comics.

As someone who grew up with the TMNT, I am quite excited about this comic.

One of my favourite webcomics, now in a very nice paperback. Great story, worldbuilding and characters, and a very original setting.

Great detective novel and it breaks Knox Commandments very cleverly.

It's been a while since I wanted to check how it is and, to be honest, it looks like a solid ttrpg.

As I was mid-novel, I had to finish in one go in the middle of the night.

After re-reading the previous three, I am very excited to start this one!

Nicely narrated and quite an interesting read.
