I enjoyed listening to this in the audio format while I worked, it helped me escape the drudgery I sometimes have to endure. I enjoyed traipsing along in Sweden and the artic circle along with Hellboy and Abesapian and enjoyed how they wove Norse Mythology into the plot. The story had a fast pace to it, with some slow moments, but those were needed to further the plot. I look forward to reading more of Christopher Golden's Hellboy. (Also, I enjoyed Wayne Mitchell changing his voice for the different characters.) ( ) This was the first Hellboy novel I read. Saw it in the comic book store while browsing other Hellboy related products, read the summary, and was in. Plus, look at that cover! Hellboy holding what looks to be Thor's hammer, Mjolnir (spelled Mjollnir here). How could you not be intrigued? So, we have Hellboy and Norse mythology, what a combination! And, it did not disappoint. A massive corpse is discovered in the Arctic Circle, holding a massive hammer that is continuously being struck by lightning, so the BPRD sends HB and Abe to investigate. Of course, everyone is thinking it, but nobody wants to say it. And then Hellboy touches the hammer and the chaos really begins. Not only does this bring in major characters and heavy hitters from Norse myth, it also brings in a few old faces from earlier Hellboy adventures. Along with the regulars, Edmund Aickman makes a return appearance. He was last seen forcing Hellboy to fight off King Vold's spirit hounds for his own greed, and now HB and Abe find him right at the heart of this current case as well. But, as dwarves, Valkyrie, dark elves, and even Ratatosk start showing up; things seem to be less myth and more fact. I am an unabashed fan of Hellboy, and this book is no exception. It's a truly fun read with monsters and mayhem, and the big red guy is right in the middle of it. Definitely worth checking out, in my opinion. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Fiction.
Horror.
On the frozen shores of Sweden, lightning strikes from a clear sky. The skeleton of a huge man is revealed, its fingers clutched around the handle of an iron hammer. No one who comes to see this marvel from Norse mythology can lift it — no one but Hellboy, who lifts the hammer just in time for lightning to strike again, welding it to his hand and leading him towards a bizarre series of visions and encounters.
