Hellboy in Love: Obsidian #1

/ / Comics

The first-half of another “Hellboy in Love” story, Hellboy and Anastasia Bransfield head to Crete to investigate a recent dig that unearthed a tomb similar to what the pair found in India leading the back on the trail of the witch and the mysterious Suaren Artea society.

Hellboy in Love: Obsidian #1 offers another solid entry with much of the first-half of the issue continuing to showcase the two lovers together before the delve back into the supernatural begins. The banter between the pair, with the story set in 1980 and the couple having been together for several months, continues to be a highlight as Hellboy is often best when he has another character to play off of.  The more of these comics Dark Horse puts out the greater the foreboding of tragedy as we know, ultimately, however things end between Hellboy and the woman he loves it isn’t likely to be pleasant.
