Being a huge fan of the
Hellboy movies, I decided to read some of the original comics. I never quite
thought about the Hellboy character as a true superhero like superman and
spiderman and other classic hero. But I
think the thing that has comics like Hellboy and Watchmen so popular is that
the characters feel a lot rounder and they actually have flaws. It's very
exciting to read about really epic and different characters that are also very
relatable. I like how Hellboy himself has a more relatable he is not
Mr. Perfect. Fighting enemies is an annoying inconvenience to him. He gets
angry, impulsive, and cranky, and he loses control. His heart is always in the
right place, though, and he cares deeply about those around him. I like that
Mignola even gave him a soft spot for cats! And that’s one of the many things
that makes him relatable.
Additionally, the artwork is
absolutely beautiful. The style and character designs are so interesting. I
think that’s what made me so drawn to these comics and movie in the first
place. Its so graphic and stylized, it fits the stories and characters
perfectly.
