HELLBOY AND THE B.P.R.D.: THE GHOST SHIPS OF LABRADOR #1 asks a lot: attention, patience, and a taste for spectral brawls where plot and art jostle for dominance. The result? A comic that pushes novelty where it matters. Agatha Blunt is the real draw, but the issue can't fully escape its own atmospheric fog. If your comic budget is tight, weigh Agatha's star turn and brisk ghost chaos against a premise that's promising, if not always crystal-clear about where it's headed. Read Full Review

Hellboy and BRPD: Ghost Ships of Labrador #1 does almost everything right and hits all the right notes. The problem is that it ends too soon, without giving the reader enough meat to chew on. Read Full Review

Plot It's 1990 in Red Bay Labrador, a town whose bay has been visited by hundreds of ships for centuries, many of which have been wrecked. This place is notable for Whale Bay. Mysteriously, the town's population is haunted by an army of sailors' ghosts from all those wrecked ships, who are driving everyone away because they want to claim this place as their home, something that, according to Hellboy's experience, never happens. The B.P.R.D. sends Agatha Blunt to investigate. Her specialty is exorcisms. She arrives at the town, which is shrouded in a thick fog, accompanied by her pet dog, Elba. Agatha uses a wheelchair and disappears in seconds as she enters the fog. Hellboy and Abe arrive in Red Bay to rescue Agatha. They reach a bar where they are greeted by a powerful ghost named Vaino, who has kidnapped Agatha. Hellboy subdues him, thinking this will solve everything, but Agatha explains that these ghosts are doing this out of fear. They are escaping from the Great Ghost Ship San Juan, a ship capable of devouring the living and the dead like a ravenous monster. An excellent story that perfectly blends horror folk with the noir detective genre, featuring brilliant twists. Art Laurence Campbell delivers richly textured, oil-painting-like artwork that organically conveys the gloomy tone of this ghost-haunted town. He highlights the fog as the ghosts' weapon with a cold color palette that emphasizes this phantasmagorical threat. Summary Hellboy and Abe set out to rescue Agatha from ghosts who are mysteriously escaping something far worse. more
