Young Hellboy: Assault on Castle Death #2

The four-issue mini-series continues with a feverish Hellboy living out a fantasy of an adventure with his hero the Lobster while unknowingly being pursued by a very real threat in the assassin from a cult sent to kill him.

The best thing Young Hellboy: Assault on Castle Death #2 has going for it is how well writers Mike Mignola and Thomas Sniegoski capture the feeling of Hellboy as a kid. On a fever-fueled adventure, Hellboy is having a grand time fighting undead soldiers (BPRD guards) and storming Castle Death (a warehouse) with his hero.
