This week continues and concludes the Hellboy Book Club Podcast journey through the Wild Hunt. With a cameo by Hellmail famous Matt Strackbein, and a few words about this delicious site, we’re off to the races. The races, to the end of Hellboy, that is.

Frankly, this is where stuff gets weird. We’ve had hints about Hellboy’s lineage before this point, which are now confirmed, and demonstrated, in one of the most surreal moments in a series constantly dancing next to magical reality, followed by an assault on Hell to some degree, which seems almost normal by comparison. These issues contain some of the finest writing and planning of any Mignolaverse book of all time, and the ending is something that will stay with you forever.

As an editor’s note here, since I don’t want to say it in a unique post: Mike Mignola is my favorite comic writer.
