    More Abe Please


    Abe Sapien is a charachter I first liked when I saw him in the first Hellboy movie. His character as I know of this has no idea where or who or what he is. He however, loves and is quite intellectual. I picked this up at my local comic shop when it first came out. 
    Story starts out as a guy attacks some weirdos on a boat. He steal as I see it a knife. He then does some ritual that looks like could be in almost any other Hellboy or BPRD book. 
    We then head off to the Bureau and Paranormal Research and Defense Headquarters, where 2 guys are discussing about Abe finally having a case to his own without Hellboy. Since Hellboy took a leave of absence at this time. 
    Abe then talks with the professer who tells Abe about Sir Edward Grey a occult Detective special agent for Queen Victoria who located a Lipu dagger and plunged it into the heart of a dutch warlock named Epke Vrooman. 
    Abe and some agents head to this tiny island Saint-Sebastian. There Abe and agent VanFleet dive for the shipwreck and go after to retrieve the dagger and the body of Vrooman. However some weird person starts some chants and a squid and eel attack both leaving us wondering what happens next. 
    Short reading but awesome storytelling. The art is wonderful. Not good art but if it goes with the pace of the story it works well. I wish I have the whole story but alas I don't. However I'm curious and wouldl ove to get the rest to finish and see where this story goes. I think if your a fan of BPRD or Abe you should track this down.

      Quality writing and beautiful art 0

      This is all you need will ever need in a comic book. This is what a good comic book should be! Mignola cares about the characters he created, so you can bet that every work he produces about them is top notch because he knows that it will stay in the HellBoy canon.The writing is superb (this is my first Mignola reading) and the art is beautiful - the pacing and the use of frames is very creative and contributes to the sense of mystery and danger. Characters make justified cameos, names are dropp...
