The penultimate issue of the series manages to show a chapter and aspects of Hellboys story that is brand new and different to anything which readers are familiar with, Hellboys youth and inexperience put a vastly different spin on the series, and rather than Hellboy being the hero of the story he is more of a passenger to events. The art looks stunning, and Mignola fans will love seeing this previously unsung chapter in our titular demons tale. Read Full Review

The biggest downside of the issue is that wait for the next. Read Full Review

Young Hellboy: The Hidden Land #3 is shaping up to be a more classic tale of good vs evil than I originally considered it to be, which I am pleasantly surprised by. I am learning never to underestimate a Hellboy comic as they always turn around and impress me with a simple twist to the story. The climax definitely sets up the final issue in the series to be an action packed adventure of quick thinking and hopefully surprises. The team will have their work cut out for them, so lets await issue #4 patiently. Read Full Review

Writers Mike Mignola and Thomas Sniegoski mix that sense of wonder that can only happen when you're a kid with monsters and other terrors. The scares are real, although they lean more on the fun and adventurous than the chilling. It's a fun balance. Read Full Review

Mike Mignola and Thomas Sniegoski's Young Hellboy reaches the moment where it really starts to feel like a proper part of the "MignolaVerse" canon, as the seeds for Hellboy's antics as an occult detective are clearly rooted in how he sought adventure as a child. Read Full Review

Backstory & a battle is the perfect formula here for Young Hellboy, moving out of it's Indiana Jonea tropes to something more out of a Universal Monster Movie collection (Dark Universe really should have survived). If only the ape would have turned back into her human form when she waa defeated, comics have given me quite the fetish for damsels in distress over the years ... This issue feels like the lengthiest of the bunch so far, but in retrospect it makes since given the fact that this appears to be a mini-series. If that's the case, Young Hellboy needs an immediate spin-off after the next issue wraps, because I've read Hellboy before , but never has a Hellboy book actually captured my interest before they turned back the clock on th e titular character here. Ladies & gents : I think we have a 'Cable' situation here ! - Audiomack.com/cvrthebard more
