Notice About Books Hellboy, Vol. 7: The Troll Witch and Others (Hellboy #7)

The artwork was good, and I liked the way the other artists interpreted Mignolas stories, and Hellboys features.Most of the stories were ok, rather than really good, though I did like seeing more of Hellboys solo missions for the B.P.R.D. over the years.

Whilst I enjoyed the stories 'The Troll Witch' and 'Makoma', I can't say that I cared for the rest in this collection, especially 'The Vampire of Prague' which was poorly illustrated and badly written.This was a really uneven collection of short Hellboy stories and whilst I enjoyed a couple the rest were so lacking that they pulled down the quality of this collection.

This volume is again based on several myths and folktales. The first story has Hellboy confronting a Penanggalan, a Malaysian folklore version of the vampire. The Hydra and the Lion was created with his daughter whose favorite creature at the time from Disneys Hercules was the serpent water beast, Hydra. An interesting modern day twist on the legend of Hercules that even leaves Hellboy scratching his head. The Troll Witch is based off a Norwegian folktale about two sisters but with a slightly

A collection of short stories from various sources, such as the Dark Horse Book of Hauntings and its siblings. All the stories are written by Mike Mignola, and he draws most of them, but P. Craig Russell and Richard Corben provide the artwork for "The Vampire of Prague" and "Makoma" respectively.The storytelling is more minimal than in the first Hellboy collection, Seed of Destruction, (which I started reading a day or two before writing this review) which makes it all the more evocative, and

We get some alone time with Hellboy and see how he gets away from BPRD and embraces his destiny. Feels like he will get back to them in time and this is his odyssey. We travel through more myths; Greek, Malaysian and African are up. Once again, I enjoy graphic novels that can both grow the character arc while maintaining decent one off stories that don't require a lot of backstory. What I find myself enjoying immensely is the anecdotes on where the ideas came from and what was going on.

Not what I expected from a volume in the Hellboy series, but enjoyable nonetheless. This is a series of assorted vignettes from various periods in Hellboy's life (and it's been a long life), as he encounters various spooky or silly supernatural creatures to clobber. Hellboy remains a fun character - very much a Ben Grimm-like mook whose primary approach to interacting with anything is to punch it - and this lends a light air to these shorts, many of which would be too slight to be of much

The long stories like "Makoma" and "The Vampire of Prague" aren't my favorites, but several of the other stories are ones I would cite as the best of the Hellboy short stories, especially "The Troll Witch," which may be my favorite Hellboy short.
