Product Description

In the lead feature, "The Black Wedding," written by Jim Pascoe (Kim Possible, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and drawn by Rick Lacy (Venture Brothers), Liz Sherman is kidnapped by an ancient cult, dragging the entire Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense into a horrifying tale of witchcraft and possession. Hellboy Animated co-creator Tad Stones and Fabio Laguna (X-Men Unlimited) team up in "Pyramid of Death," in which radio hero Lobster Johnson inspires a young Hellboy to inflict some imaginary justice of his own.

4.0 out of 5 stars A LIGHTER VERSION OF HELLBOY, Feb 17 2007

By Tim Janson - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Hellboy Animated Volume 1: The Black Wedding (Paperback)

Hellboy Animated: The Black Wedding is the first graphic novel based on the Animated Hellboy. While maintaining much of the canon of Mike Mignola's comic series, the books based on the animated version are really there own universe, even so far as making Hellboy purposely look different than the Mignola version. This book contains one long story, "the Black Wedding" as well as a shorter tale.

In the Black Wedding, Hellboy, Abe, and Agent Ecton are out to stop the witch Alexisa from using Liz Sherman as the black bride to summon a powerful demon. They battle hordes of creatures like bell worms to stop the ceremony before it can be completed.

"Pyramid of Death" is a tale from Hellboy's past when he was just a little demon who loved watching his favorite hero Lobster Johnson on TV. The junior Hellboy soon finds himself squaring off against a mad scientist and his goons...or does he? A rather amusing tale!

I truly enjoyed the art on both stories. Rick Lacy and Fabio Laguna captured the look of Hellboy animated right on the page. The cartoony style is perfectly suited for these lighter tales, as opposed to Mignola's grittier look. Not a must-have for Hellboy fans since it's outside of normal continuity but still a fun read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a worthy contribution to the Hellboy world., July 13 2007

By Samuel S. Garland "Giant Insects Will Rule th... - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Hellboy Animated Volume 1: The Black Wedding (Paperback)

I remain a large fan of the illustrated Hellboy material out, including the animated films, which this book's style is based on. However, I feel that the quality presented here is just too low to really add much to the Hellboy story. The art is very "sketchy", the panel transition is not quite smooth, and I often found myself having a little trouble following the plot, which is bad because it's a very simple plot. This product seems rushed and is not essential for anyone concerned with keeping up with Hellboy.

3.0 out of 5 stars !!!!! Who pasted this thing together? A three year old?, Aug 4 2008

By tarpalsfan "book fiend" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Hellboy Animated Volume 1: The Black Wedding (Paperback)

Dangit! I just recieved Hellboy The Black Wedding today-I opened it just a tad-and the spine cracks and pages start falling out! The book isn't even mine-it's my 13 year old daughters-I can tell you she isn't happy!

As for the story, it's okay for kid my girls age. As for the artwork-some of it's really good-some if it-all I can say is it could be better!

I really wish I could give ths book a better rating,it would deserve the 3 stars rating I gave it regarding the art-but since it started falling apart the second I opened it-it doesn't even deserve a 2. Even a paper comic version would hold up better than this thing.

You have 2 very dissapointed Hellboy fangirls here!
