Returning to the comic’s original timeline, Vince awakes to his new life as a vampire… and (as we learn in the final panel) something else as well. Reintroducing the “current” timeline for us mostly through the young vamp’s eyes, we get Vince learning the hard way how hard it is to control his bloodlust (even from a friend) but also see how willing he is to stand by Gray when the pair are attacked by the vampire hunter Eda. Vince may be a vampire, but it appears that his love for Gray hasn’t waned.

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.
