Hordes of terrifying mythical creatures suddenly appear across the globe - a 30-foot alligator lurking in the canals of Venice, a griffin slaughtering horses in Madrid, giant vampire bats, mermaids, gremlins. As the destruction & death toll escalate, Hellboy & the Bureau of Paranormal Research & Defence arm themselves for battle.… (mais)
Wow. This one was hard to put down because of everything going on, I really wanted to see what would happen next. There's not only the mystery element when the creatures first start showing up randomly and attacking, but also the nail-biting action and thrills as the BPRD figures out what is going on and it becomes a race to the finish. Can they reach the architect of these monster attacks before he achieves his goal? What exactly is his goal? And what does werewolf and BPRD new(ish) recruit Abby Paris have to do with all this?
The story is broken down into chunks following certain characters at certain points in time. At first, we see the two Blake brothers finding fabled pieces of mythological creatures with the help of an ancient tome throughout the past, and then we see the results of the brothers' efforts as these creatures come to life and attack the world in 1997 (where the bulk of the story takes place).
Like most of the Hellboy novels, this is a fun book full of monsters and adventures. But if you're looking for a darker story and characters with more depth you should first read "Hellboy: The Lost Army" and "Hellboy: On Earth as it is in Hell". ( )

Definitely a fun read. (
