Shadow of the Golden Crane #1

Michael Avon Oeming delivers some fantastic art throughout the issue. I love the visual style and how visually immersive and engaging every page is. Read Full Review

This just gives a taste as to what is to come next in the second issue. I want to talk about art as well. In Hellboy fashion, it displays the art beautifully.  I really enjoy the action that is displayed in each panel. It still follows a comic book standard form of art, and I like that. It brings a reassurance that it will not stray away from what readers are used to. Im really excited to see Sue and Hellboys journey as they go and battle creatures and demons on behalf of the  BPRD.

Shadow of The Golden Crane #1 has a lot of the hallmarks of a good Hellboy story, but then fails to add any kind of personality to those elements, making the whole thing feel flat. Read Full Review

Plot In 1963, Agent Susan Xiang, an analyst for the Intelligence Division of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.), suddenly has a memory of her childhood when her uncle told her about the Golden Crane Society, a group of people who protected everyone from monsters, ghosts, and demons. She thought that these were myths, but in 1954 they came across the existence of this group. Xiang is about to leave her job when she has a premonition, which makes her accompany Hellboy and Agent Victor Koestler on a mission in Portland. This team is great because they all have their own supernatural powers that fit together perfectly. There they face a monster, but Xiang realizes that she has a pendant, at that moment her power of premonition leads her to see that one of her ancestors, Lady Bai Lian, of the Golden Crane, defeats a monster by taking that pendant from her. Xiang warns her that she is a monster and that she is a monster. Hellboy to do it and that monster turns into a little cat. Xiang is sure that they must follow the trail of this magical amulet, because she is sure that it was in the possession of the Golden Crane Society, which for some reason fell into the wrong hands. This spin-off expands the stories of the B.P.R.D. in a new direction, precisely in the search for a similar millenary organization. Art Avon Oeming offers his unique art that mixes that anatomies with curvatures, presenting a body language that defines each of the sequences, supported by a color palette that has an overall sepia tone that takes us back to that past. Summary Susan Xiang is discovering that the myths of the past are real and new Hellboy's help to find the truth. Exciting and dizzying start to this new limited comic series. more
