Hellboy: The Wild Hunt # 5 - The Wild Hunt, Part 5; O Sinner Beneath Us!, Part One

It's been a long wait between issues… We're talking months. Was the wait worth it?

It's hard to say. The story was alright. At the end of issue four Hellboy was trying to get into a castle. At the end of issue five he finally gets into the castle. Alright… So now what? Why couldn't he have done that like an issue ago?

So what happens…

Hellboy has a nice little fight with a general from Hell guarding a bridge… The Queen of the Witches declares herself a war goddess and continues to look hot even though she's dripping blood everywhere…And Morgan La Fey shows up…?

Y'know, that chick from King Arthur.

Apparently Mike Mignola just doesn't care where he barrows mythology and folklore from. Not like it really matters though. This is a story about witches, she was a witch, and he makes it work. This story is heavily influenced by British witch mythology so it's no surprise when she walks in. Let's just hope that it's not some "Dues Ex Machina" thing where she's going to give Hellboy all the answers.

Duncan Fregredo's art is still killer amazing.

If you haven't already go pick up the back issues and read this series from start to present. It's definitely worth it and the story is building up to something epic.
