End BPRD: The Devil You Know It was largely the conclusion of decades of storytelling, resulting in many prequel-style tales in a world Hellboy; but now Frankenstein: A New World It has arrived, to begin what could well be the next two decades of storytelling. Capturing hundreds (maybe thousands) of years after the end The devil you knowAnd the Frankenstein: A New World It begins with the surviving humans inside the hollow land, having escaped there with the help of the titular monster while Hellboy and his companions defeat Rasputin. Although Frankenstein himself is the lead, he is surrounded by a brave young girl, Lilaj, a newcomer to the franchise and a character worthy of being in a world dominated by gods and monsters.
While Frankenstein maintains his composure throughout, and the dry bits of humor that are integral to any good lead character come from Mignola, he does better at this problem because he has a messy kid by his side. Mignola wrote the story for this issue along with regular collaborators Christopher Golden and Thomas Snegosky – a three-man team is a rare position to write credit alone in a Hellboy comic but no part of this feels overcrowded or like the number of cooks in the kitchen. negative impact on what happens. If anything, the strengths of all three writers have been brought to great effect, giving readers a tight storyline with fun characters both new and old.
Artist Peter Bergting steps in to paint the comics, making his Hellboy series debut after cutting his teeth with a series of Mignola and Golden’s Outerverse comics. Bergting has been given plenty of room to play with here, as it depicts the hollow earth world, the evolution of Frankenstein, the return of some of the other main characters, and then the larger surface world that has evolved into entirely new ecosystems (the ones that have root in what fans know lurk in this world to boot) . Colorist Michelle Madsen returns to the franchise as well, bringing a spark of life to the visuals that really help solidify this story in the larger Hellboy timeline.
To this end, artwork throughout Frankenstein: A New World #1 He feels safe. There is very little work involved, which is not a bad thing, but this first issue is about getting readers to settle down in the world. The art of burgering is great all the time, but it almost feels like something is missing too much the details. Seeing the big picture is great considering the circumstances of the series, but shadows are just as important in this universe. The status quo of the New World is, of course, something that takes some getting used to, and instead jumping to the deep end takes time delving into the shallows. Although it will seem so to newcomers, and for the better when they realize that there are vast legends here, those who have been deep in the stories of Hellboy and BPRD will see all indications of where this is headed and how exciting it is to see.
Frankenstein: A New World It is proof that the Hellboy world doesn’t always need the Big Red Man and that these stories can go on forever. The series manages to do this by delving into the BPRD lore to give old readers a rich and rewarding experience, and then threading the needle of its narrative well enough that anyone can pick up this new series and continue. There isn’t much wrong with Hellboy’s comic book collection, but Frankenstein: A New World Looks like it’s about to become the best story since then BPRD: The Devil You Know is over.
