Hellboy, Vol. 2: Wake the Devil (utgåvan 2004)

I somehow missed writing a review of this. It's great (even better than Seed of Destruction, which was already quite good). Buy it. ( )

A lot goes on between the lines in these comics, giving us a history largely unseen and mostly just implied.

Fortunately, it also relies on so many occult sources and mysteries and legends and mythologies and old gods that it's pretty cool just to sit back and see where Hecate or the Sumerian head honcho An or where Rasputin takes us.

Murder mysteries aside, of course, it's great to see the bird women and the dead rise and getting to see a whole damn castle blow up. It's fun for all the kiddies!

But for me, a special place will always lay in my heart for Baba Yaga. Bless her bullet-ridden face.

This comic is "special". ( )

This is a little confusing. There's a lot of history that the characters know that we readers are not made privy to, some of which I gather is explained in later instalments. I really do get the feeling this is one of those stories that will be better on the 2nd reading when the rest of the series has been read. ( )

Great story. About 1/5 of the artwork is fantastic, the rest is mediocre to terrible. The rest was exactly what I like about Hellboy, action, humour, good A plot story arc and more information about Hellboys back story woven organically into the tale. ( )

Nechte se zlákat prohlídkou Karlštejna, jakou jste ještě neviděli. Potkáte na ní upíry, nacisty, živou hlavu v lahvi, Rasputina, babu Jagu a hlavně Hellboye.

Hellboy letos v srpnu oslaví dvacet let, co se poprvé objevil na stránkách komiksů a také je tomu deset let, co kniha Probuzení ďábla poprvé vyšla v nakladatelství Comics Centrum. Při této příležitosti vychází druhé, upravené vydání této knihy. Ve druhém vydání najdete nově okolorované komiksové stránky a hlavně výrazně upravený překlad, který odpovídá událostem z následujících dílů série Hellboy a série Ú.P.V.O. Děj hellboyových příběhů se prolíná se sérií Ú.P.V.O, která je tak nutná pro pochopení celého hellboyova světa.
