Abe Sapien

review 1: Any fan of HELLBOY, whether in film or in the comics, knows that Abe Sapien is one of the closest friends the big guy has. They also know that Abe has been around a long time and while just as brave as Hellboy, he's not quite as ready to just run into the action without thinking things through. When the remains of a long dead warlock begins to turn things nasty in a coastal town, the B.P.R.D. sends in Abe to see what is going on and put an end to it if possible. As this is the characters first solo adventure creator Mike Mignola take some time to fill in some of Abe's history and the loss he suffered long ago.Typical weird creatures and otherworldly events take place and while the 'good guys' prevail it is not without some sacrifice. Recommended to any fan of the Migno... morela-verse.
review 2: Didn't think I was gonna like this as much as I did. The fine art style really comes through with Abe running solo. The fun bit with the continuation of an Edward Grey adventure is especially fun after having read the two Witchfinder tpb's. Abe is a character, much like Hellboy, who thrives solo. Unlike Hellboy, I'd say he actually works well on a team as well. He has incredibly versatility, and it's fun to see that explored here. less
