Young Hellboy: Assault on Castle Death #3

The fevered delusions of Hellboy continue in Young Hellboy: Assault on Castle Death #3 as the young Hellboy, his dog, and his hallucination of his hero the Lobster make their way through a warehouse which Hellboy has taken to be a castle of zombies in the control of a dark wizard with magic the Nazis hope to acquire.

The third issue in the four-issue mini-series follows the form of the previous two. We do get our trailing assassin, finally catching up to Hellboy in the warehouse/castle only to be momentarily stymied from his quest to save the world from the apocalypse. While still enjoying the adventure, some of Hellboy’s dialogue suggests at least a part of him has begun to suspect not everything he’s seeing is real.
