Though I’ve read through the first chunk of Hellboy books back in the late 90s, this is my first stab at reading the spin-offs. BPRD started off with a bang in the first three issue arc feeling in lock step with the main Mignola stuff, but there’s something about the books that follow that feel weird to me. Abe in particular comes off different than when he pops up in the Hellboy books, like the writers are compensating, trying to add a gruffness that is absent without Hellboy. Abe seems less sentimental and curious, but artificially so. Not loving it.

Dal je stvar do Venecije, ili kako junaci su vise sudionici nego nositelji radnje, ova epizoda me jako podsjetila na Marti Misteriju, i to na dobar način.
