Hellboy beats the shit out of a giant demon cat. These are the kinds of Christmas stories I want.

On commence l'année avec une histoire de gros minou. Les nouvelles parutions de Hellboy deviennent de plus en plus répétitives, se limitant à nous présenter "le monstre de la semaine". Hellboy se rend dans un endroit, les locaux lui relatent les apparitions de telle ou telle créature, Hellboy déambule à la recherche de cette dernière, la débusque, lui donne deux-trois coups de poing et on passe à l'aventure suivante. J'ai bien hâte de tomber sur un numéro qui me surprenne à nouveau. Peut-être "Giant Robot Hellboy"?

As much ss i love big red . The story seem more and more .HB fight a monster of the week. Something seem to be missing.

I was quite surprised when my Sister (a proud cat Mom) got me this comic as a stocking stuffer this past Christmas as the antagonist of this story is a giant feline.

Does the giant cat win the battle against Hellboy? Well, you must read on to find out.

Excellent little story, set in Iceland, 1990. Make sure to have read Hellboy: The Bones of Giants before before reading this one, to get more of the referenced context.

Те за що я обожнюю Геллбоя.
Прекрасний арт, зв'язок з Кістками Гігантів. Скандинавська міфологія.
І супер-ностальгійний епізод із появою старого Тревора Брума!

Story 2
Art 4

Hellboy in Iceland, beating up a giant folklore cat… kinda formulaic…

Good story, excellent artwork.

Good story, great artwork. Recommended. Great rendition of both kate Corrigan and hellboy. Nice tie-in with the "bones of giants" longer story.

It was ok. Nothing special. Looks okay. Story is basic HB story with some references to the Thor story Bones of Giants.

Hellboy beats up a freakishly giant cat that happens to be a supernatural(duh) entity. And probably one of the only cats that Hellboy doesn’t like. Nice short and sweet comic.

Another use of the word "clown" as an insult? Ugh.
