This issue really made the series for me.
But that's not necessarily praise...
Throughout the last four issues I was very underwhelmed with the story. A lot of the concepts were interesting such as the ectoplasmic medium and the monster that's afraid of it's own bones... Even Gulliver from "Gulliver's Travels" is a main character who accompanies Edward Grey in his investigation...
But I sincerely feel the series as a whole failed to launch and by the time I set this issue down I started really missing Mike Mignola's unique art and story-telling style.
I've really enjoyed how Mike's characters and stories have been built upon but I'm getting to a point where I'd rather wait a year for a new Hellboy story than pick up sub-par issues. I'm much for quality versus quantity.
That having been said this issue was creepy as hell and I'm glad I was able to read it. Most of what happens in this issue is visually unsettling but entirely effective. It's not something I'd want to ruin for anyone.
This issue gets three stars for what happens in the prison's basement and how the inmates respond... Not for anything else.
