Picking up the thread from the first Hellboy in Love mini-series, this new two-part adventures offers another pairing with Anastasia Bransfield. Set in the Fall of 1979, Hellboy and Anastasia head to Iceland to the mystery that first sent the archeologist down the rabbit hole of the supernatural.

Secret Six #6

/ / Comics

Apparently ending the comic’s short run, Secret Six #6 ends with more of a whimper than a bang confirming this series was always more about setting up storylines for Jon Kent and his friends then highlighting the Secret Six or bringing them back to the DCU in any real way. The finale does have a nice moment between Catman and Kent showcasing the different ways the two view the world and we get more of Black Alice powered up, and more infighting within the group, but in the end the climax of the story doesn’t involve these characters at all as everything boils down to Gossamer and his feelings of betrayal towards both his boyfriend and Dreamer.

Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #11

/ / Comics

In a bit of an introspective issue, Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #11 takes a step back after recent events where the members of the Midnight Mission haves won but not without a cost of one of their own with the soul of the Mission being killed in the recent battle. As the group plans to celebrate their lost ally, and the birthday of Marc Spector, we weave through spending a few pages with each member of the group talking about both the Mission and Marc (on a birthday that also so happens to be celebrating the character’s 50 years in comics).

Usagi Yojimbo: Ten Thousand Plums #5

/ / Comics

Usagi Yojimbo: Ten Thousand Plums concludes with the second-half of “Tabo” which opens with Miyamoto Usagi, Yukichi, and the pilgrims running into further resistance on their way to the shrine. It’s hard not to feel a bit of current events creeping in to the story with the anti-immigrant guards attempting to keep out undesirables. The ronin manage to quicky convince the men, one of whom Usagi notices as one of the bandits who have attacked the pilgrims on the trail, the error of their own ways.
