review:
In 'Hellboy in Hell, Vol 1: The Descent' we follow Hellboy's journey after he sacrificed himself and died. It's all Mike Mignola and it's all just great.
After the events in recent Hellboy books, Hellboy kills a dragon, then has his heart plucked out by Nimue (of Arthurian legend). He finds himself in hell searching for answers. Along the way, more secrets are revealed, characters he's met before show up and in his own wry way, Hellboy manages to almost find more trouble than he can handle. He helps to regain a lost soul for a soldier. He finds his throne and is visited by three ghosts (just like Ebenezer Scrooge, sort of).
There are many literary and mythological versions of hell presented here. The art is great with huge chaotic cemeteries, abandoned old towns, tortured statues and giant bugs. I really enjoyed this one.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
