When my husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I told him The Sandman Volume 10: The Wake, the last chapter in the incredible Sandman series. So imagine my surprise when I opened up my present on Christmas Eve to reveal Hellboy Volume 1: Seed of Destruction. Oh well, at least he made it to the right section in the bookstore.I have seen the first Hellboy movie and the second one is on my “to-see” list. I just assumed that this book would be a rehash of the first movie but again to my surprise, it was quite different. Hellboy is a great paranormal investigator. After being attacked by a mutant frog, he and his two paranormal sidekicks, pyrotechnic Liz and gilled-friend, Abraham Sapien, take a visit to a 150 year-old American home to find some answers. There he not only discovers the secret of his own origins, but also a dangerous force about to be released upon the world.
I have a birthday coming up at the end of the month so maybe I will get my coveted last volume of Sandman then, but if it happens to be Hellboy Volume 2: Wake of the Devil, I will not be disappointed.
