Rasputin: The Voice of the Dragon #2

Professor Trevor Bruttenholm takes matters into his own hands and encounters horrors unimagined. An excellent eerie story that features potential scares in every panel, leaving the reader on the edge of their seat. Recommended. Read Full Review

Overall, I found this to be an ominous and engaging chapter in the tale. Trevor is venturing forth into dark territory, and whilst we know how this story ends, it's exciting to see the events leading up to Project Ragna Rok, the arrival of Hellboy and the formation of the BPRD. Read Full Review

This series is an occult mystery tale more than anything else and it is a good one at that. If you are a Hellboy fan, this is must read material. It would also be enjoyable for anybody who likes World War II history with an emphasis on the Nazis' obsession with the supernatural. The only real complaint that I can think of is that fans of Rasputin might be expecting a whole lot more than what they are getting. That said, this is a very well-balanced and paced issue that sets the board well for the next one. This series is very, as Bruttenholm would say, promising and this issue proves that.

"Rasputin: The Voice of the Dragon" draws on a wealth of history. There's a lot of set-up in this issue, but it's handled deftly and illustrated beautifully. I could read a lot more of Trevor exploring an old manor if Christopher Mitten was drawing it. Read Full Review

There are good to great scenes, but the pace is so slow it can be maddening. Read Full Review
