3。5 rounded up。 Pretty art （classically good Hellboy art） and a fine story。 Anyone who likes Hellboy/BPRD， this is a solid story， and anyone who's tickled by Norse mythology， this has fun takes。 Loved the colors throughout -- the wintry vistas were treated beautifully。 It's a pretty short book but tells a satisfyingly complete story and the back-matter is likewise short but satisfying。 3。5 rounded up。 Pretty art （classically good Hellboy art） and a fine story。 Anyone who likes Hellboy/BPRD， this is a solid story， and anyone who's tickled by Norse mythology， this has fun takes。 Loved the colors throughout -- the wintry vistas were treated beautifully。 It's a pretty short book but tells a satisfyingly complete story and the back-matter is likewise short but satisfying。 。。。more

This was fun， though not the most memorable Hellboy story。 I felt it was really lacking in the horror department， but that tends to be the case with any Hellboy story not drawn by Mignola himself。 It's still enjoyable though， and it's nice to finally have this story canonized where it previously only existed in a side novel。 I was surprised to find that it's somewhat of a sequel to the "King Vold" story from the "Right Hand of Doom" collection。 This was fun， though not the most memorable Hellboy story。 I felt it was really lacking in the horror department， but that tends to be the case with any Hellboy story not drawn by Mignola himself。 It's still enjoyable though， and it's nice to finally have this story canonized where it previously only existed in a side novel。 I was surprised to find that it's somewhat of a sequel to the "King Vold" story from the "Right Hand of Doom" collection。 。。。more

Na tuhle knihu jsem se hrozně těšil， už od doby， kdy byla v Americe oznámena。 Jednak jde o severskou mytologii， a navíc jsem už delší dobu žádného Hellboye nečetl。 U Mignoly jsem se nebál， že by tu mytologii nějak zprasil。 On i Golden k těmto záležitostem umí přistupovat citlivě a jsem rád， že mě nezklamali ani tentokrát。 Neměli potřebu adaptovat nějaký známý příběh， Hellboy se nemusel vydat do času bájí， ale prostě jenom navázali na odkaz legend v současnosti。 To se povedlo。 Kosti obrů mají zdá Na tuhle knihu jsem se hrozně těšil， už od doby， kdy byla v Americe oznámena。 Jednak jde o severskou mytologii， a navíc jsem už delší dobu žádného Hellboye nečetl。 U Mignoly jsem se nebál， že by tu mytologii nějak zprasil。 On i Golden k těmto záležitostem umí přistupovat citlivě a jsem rád， že mě nezklamali ani tentokrát。 Neměli potřebu adaptovat nějaký známý příběh， Hellboy se nemusel vydat do času bájí， ale prostě jenom navázali na odkaz legend v současnosti。 To se povedlo。 Kosti obrů mají zdánlivě všechno。 Mají dobrý příběh， dobrou kresbu， nechybí jim humor， ale jedno přece jenom postrádají - atmosféru。 Ono příjemné mrazení ze skrytých lovecraftovských hrůz， které mám s Hellboyem spojené。 Navíc mám pocit， že scénář místy lehce drhne。 。。。more

"The Bones of Giants" is based on a novel of the same title， now adapted as a graphic novel。 This is a nice Hellboy story set around 1988 during the classic period， when Big Red was still a member of the B。P。R。D。The plot borrows heavily from Nordic myths and characters， it has everything from Thor and Mjölnir to valkyries and frost giants。 It's simple fun， with good artwork and a straightforward storyline。 Nothing too original， but entertaining nevertheless。 "The Bones of Giants" is based on a novel of the same title， now adapted as a graphic novel。 This is a nice Hellboy story set around 1988 during the classic period， when Big Red was still a member of the B。P。R。D。The plot borrows heavily from Nordic myths and characters， it has everything from Thor and Mjölnir to valkyries and frost giants。 It's simple fun， with good artwork and a straightforward storyline。 Nothing too original， but entertaining nevertheless。 。。。more

Very fun to read a self-contained Golden Age Of Hellboy story with the gang all together。 Also Matt Smith is one of the better Mignolaverse House Style guys。 He does a great fake Mignola！！ I love that later Mignolaverse stuff has felt more free to stray from his style， but it's fun to spend time with something that feels so much like the Hellboy I fell in love with， even if it's maybe inessential and throwbacky。 A nice little one-off。 Really enjoyed it， does what it's trying to do。 Very fun to read a self-contained Golden Age Of Hellboy story with the gang all together。 Also Matt Smith is one of the better Mignolaverse House Style guys。 He does a great fake Mignola！！ I love that later Mignolaverse stuff has felt more free to stray from his style， but it's fun to spend time with something that feels so much like the Hellboy I fell in love with， even if it's maybe inessential and throwbacky。 A nice little one-off。 Really enjoyed it， does what it's trying to do。 。。。more

As a big Hellboy fan I enjoyed another fun adventure from the paranormal。 The art is great and the writing never fails to bring a fun， interesting story。

A wonderful set of graphic novels full of some really weird stories。 All the books are amazing。 But， my personal favorite would be Hellboy Universe Essentials: Witchfinder。 The stories are so creepy and full of horror。 Also， the graphics are amazing with some very different characters。 Although， we don't see hellboy's character as one of the main in all the books。 But， still the books are enjoyable and best for horror lovers。 The Witchfinder is superb。I would like to give the book 5 stars。 Thank A wonderful set of graphic novels full of some really weird stories。 All the books are amazing。 But， my personal favorite would be Hellboy Universe Essentials: Witchfinder。 The stories are so creepy and full of horror。 Also， the graphics are amazing with some very different characters。 Although， we don't see hellboy's character as one of the main in all the books。 But， still the books are enjoyable and best for horror lovers。 The Witchfinder is superb。I would like to give the book 5 stars。 Thanks to Edelweiss and Dark Horse Books for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book。Read more on https://bibliophileverse。blogspot。com。。。 。。。more

Mignola continues to create amazing Hellboy stories a few decades later。You would think that after so many years and so MANY storiesThat the joyous spark of creation would be gone for MignolaOr least the stories would stop being any damn good。But no， the Hellboy Universe （ having spawned several other series） is still going strong。In Norway Hellboy encounters a mysterious corpse carrying an ancient Norse battle Hammer。Which he picks up。。。。。and of course he can't put it down and is periodically p Mignola continues to create amazing Hellboy stories a few decades later。You would think that after so many years and so MANY storiesThat the joyous spark of creation would be gone for MignolaOr least the stories would stop being any damn good。But no， the Hellboy Universe （ having spawned several other series） is still going strong。In Norway Hellboy encounters a mysterious corpse carrying an ancient Norse battle Hammer。Which he picks up。。。。。and of course he can't put it down and is periodically possessed by the ghost of Thor。I'm not gonna lie there was a shit tonne of foreshadowing going on。Hellboy/Thor have to fight a mystical conspiracy to bring back giants or some such nonsense。It's Hellboy you're here for the fun fantasy violence。And this delivers。 。。。more

Another fun mini drawn by one of my favorite HB artists， Matt Smith！ Norse myths are real in 1988 Sweden and something sinister is afoot。 That is， until Big Red and Abe put an end to the menace。 I honestly forgot everything about the story the day after reading it， took me days to remember to add it to GR but I know I had fun while it lasted so it gets a 4。

Entretenido relato， pero se siente demasiado resumido， y con un grosero error de edicion entre el final del primer numero y el comienzo del segundo。 El dibujo de Smith， notable。

A more looser but still faithful adaptation of the novel it leaves out some stuff but keeps all the key moments and action pieces to make it a fast classic Hellboy tale of you like Norse mythology you’ll want to see big red wielding mjolnir。Matt Smith also draws a great Hellboy with a nice blend of Mignola and Fegredo

What a satiating Hellboy read this was。 It's been a while since I had re-delved into the Hellboy universe and this was such a great reminder why I need to re-read Hellboy， from start to end， almost every year， as a tradition of sorts。 I really wish I had read Golden's prose before I read this but no complaints since I was equally lost in Matt Smith's gorgeous gorgeous art。 Bringing old characters isn't anything new in the Hellboy Universe but to see the one that popped up here was a pleasant sur What a satiating Hellboy read this was。 It's been a while since I had re-delved into the Hellboy universe and this was such a great reminder why I need to re-read Hellboy， from start to end， almost every year， as a tradition of sorts。 I really wish I had read Golden's prose before I read this but no complaints since I was equally lost in Matt Smith's gorgeous gorgeous art。 Bringing old characters isn't anything new in the Hellboy Universe but to see the one that popped up here was a pleasant surprise and add to that so many characters that you've known reading Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology or playing God Of War， makes an appearance here which was just too good。 After the four issues I was so content and yet at the same time， left wanting for more。 Oh well。。。onto Hellboy Silver Lanterns Club。 。。。more
