Chronicle In Favor Of Books Hellboy: Weird Tales, Vol. 2 (Hellboy: Weird Tales #2)
Mike Mignola’s character has never been more popular, especially in the wake of the long-awaited feature film, and unprecedented success in bookstores. His award-winning series Hellboy has been lauded as much by other artists as it has by award ceremonies and fans. Over the years, many of the best artists in the industry have asked if they could do a backup story just to get a chance to play with the characters and worlds Mignola has created. As Dark Horse basks in the glow of critical praise for the 2004 Hellboy motion picture, we present this lavish collection of stories.

see my review for Hellboy Volume 1: Seed of Destruction (Paperback)A bit better, but not by much.So this being the second collection of non-canon Mignolaverse stories, and me absolutely disappointed in the last one, I went into this second collection with absolutely no expectations, and it actually surprised me with a couple of funny quirky tales:World: As I said in the previous review, there is not much world builing here as it is non-canon. The world building that you see here is mainly to serve the story that the writer/artist is trying to tell. With that in
My feelings here are pretty much the same as they were for the first volume. Highlights of this collection include JH Williams III and Haden Blackman's "Love is Scarier than Death"which deals (in a canonically plausible way) with the mystery of Hellboy's love-life; and Craig Thompson's "My Vacation in Hell"an incredibly silly little comic, yet one that still feels (for some possibly intangible reason) distinctly Mignola-ish.
Seemed much shorter than other volumes considering the back was filled with a cover gallery.
Everyone wants to play with Mike Mignola's toys...for good reason. In this collected series, Mike Mignola let people play with the characters and the world he created (Hellboy), to honor the world that inspired him (tales from the magazine Weird Tales).
A sailor moon action figure broken in half but worse
A collection of shorts in the pulp tradition, uneven art and brevity are trumped by variety and whimsy.
