Saga versus Hellboy, review

Tangent: I like this

Definitely celebrate our heroes, but there are other heros, hundreds to the power of ten.

Anti tangent:
Good recomendations. I became a hell boy fan around 2001. I had just arrived at the states to start grad school and a student of mine asked me to please get him a hellboy comic book. I searched a local comic book store in Athen,s oh and found paradise.
I ended up sending him 3 or 4 collections.
I am looking forward to versions of the character that may do justice to Mignola's art.
I have not read Saga

Saga is no Hellboy. It's worth reading for some of the surprising moments and characterization, but it's not a classic.

It was hard for me to look at other illustrators' besides Mignola working on Hellboy, and kept me from even cracking open any issues of BPRD. But when Mignola farms out the visuals he does it as a cartoonist; he directs appropriately. The results are competent.
