Phew, okay, two books down!

I like Wake the Devil a lot more than Seed of Destruction because it has a lot less weirdly poetic narration and there is more of a BPRD presence in it, but later Hellboy is still the best for me, starting probably with the third book. It is nice to see the art style evolving, though maybe a little distracting if you pay too much attention to it.

So much lore in both of these books that either will or will not be significant someday, haha...

Sidney probably quit because Liz burned the shit out of his hands

I wonder if he lost his abilities or the use of his hands or something...

How Hellboy reacts to learning terrible things about his destiny, and how Abe reacts to being shot and branded by a monkey.

Gored by a spike pit, accidentally broke his friend's arm, then exploded

When Clark went out, he went out

The pacing in Wake the Devil is so strange

These early Hellboy stories always feel so much longer than five issues

Conquest: The Black Flame

War: Hellboy

Plague: Abe Sapien

Hellboy is scared of snakes.
