Hellboy in Hell (#8)

BOOM! That's how this issue begins when Hellboy does battle with a hell beast that is beaten and captured by a string. Then, big red is put on trial and the truth comes out about who really killed his father and brothers in Hell. There is so much going on and the ending can be seen as the end of everything but, we know that Mike Mignola probably has more up his sleeve as we see Hellboy lighting a cigarette and surveying everything around him. I am happy about how this book turned out and ecstatic that I did not have to wait a half a year to see the next issue. Now, at this point, Mike can either return him to Earth and bring him back or continue his adventures in Hell. Either way, I am a fan of Hellboy and will look forward to whatever decision he makes on this matter.

Puppet Master (#6)

Dirty deals and blood fill this issue as the puppets are going after their formal selves for some reason. Blade suspects as much during a confrontation which only leaves more questions then answers. Why are the puppets doing this? What is the woman's endgame using Toulon's  puppets against themselves? Were they just so happy to be free from their wooden chambers that they failed to see the truth in front of their eyes? I guess we'll find out more in the next issue as these books have been fun and outstanding so far! Fans, trust me when I say, you'll love the mayhem between these pages that the puppets are causing. If they made these as the next Puppet Master movies, I'd be happy.

Gotham by Midnight (#9)

So, in this issue, we discover more about the relationship that Jim has with the Specter, a little more about the flowers that have been appearing and are left asking ourselves if this truly the end of the Midnight Shift at the GCPD. The story is great, the gore is intense and the art is fantastic! This leaves us with an ending that could go either way into continuing the special unit or forcing it underground. Either way, it is awesome! There is something more going on and, in this issue, we only seem to be scratching the surface of it all.

Evil Dead 2: Beyond Dead by Dawn (#2)

The laughs continue as Annie gets a "hand" in Hell with a menstruating Ash by her side. Both are out for blood as they tear apart Hell trying to free her parents from the Swallower of Souls. This issue has more laughs the  the first and the great art continues in this issue. Get on this series asap as it all ends next issue and the little side story about the Monday in Hell comes to a conclusion. Hail to the king baby.

Evil Dead 2: Beyond Dead by Dawn (#1)

So, ever what happened to Annie Knowby after she finishes the spell with her dying breath at the end of the classic Evil Dead 2 and sends Ash back in time? She and the cabin go to Hell! That's right folks, she's in Hell where she is battling demons, figuring things out and trying to save her parents (sweet old Henrietta included!). Much better then I thought a story not centered around Ash would be. I mean, he is the central figure of the movies and series so I am not wrong in my assumption. The special edition of the book is pretty cool as well with extended stories and extras thrown in. In other words, it's groovy.

Godzilla in Hell (#2)

In this issue, we are given a little bit of storytelling as we find out that Godzilla is NOT dead but, facing different challenges. Along with those challenges, he is running into old foes that you may have seen from the many movies that he has starred along the way. Again, the art is fantastic along with the story as there is so much happening that you almost don't need any words to tell the story with. Great work so far in this miniseries as the King battles in the place of the forgotten.

Godzilla in Hell (#1)

So, I will preface this by saying that I have never read any of the IDW Godzilla series but, after this issue, I may have to start! When I saw this, the title was too good to pass out...Godzilla in Hell! I mean, the possibilities are endless! In this first issue, there is no story telling, the action just speaks for itself as the King of Monsters is trust through different levels of Hell meeting one horror after another. The art is fantastic as I cannot wait to see what happens to the world's most famous Kaiju next.
