Currently Reading
Not unexpectedly, I’m still in the middle of reading Hellboy: The Bones of Giants by Christopher Golden, nearing the halfway mark. It was a rather busy long weekend for me and I didn’t find much time to read between being busy and/or exhausted. Nevertheless, I’m enjoying this book quite a bit more than the previous Hellboy novel. It feels much more like there’s a mystery at play; I still don’t even know why Mjollnir has fused itself with Hellboy’s hand nor the extent of the forces at play against him. He’s living up to his job as a paranormal investigator a lot more here, as he should, rather than just a big guy there to clobber things.
Recently Finished
Regrettably nothing this week. I’ve been wanting to at least have a comic done for this section every week, but like I said it’s just been a tad too busy.
Reading Next
I still have my plans of continuing The Dark Tower comic book prequels and starting Aftermath: Life Debt by Chuck Wendig soon, but I’ve got some new books in the pipeline too. I went to Fan Expo over the weekend and among the comics I picked up was Cat Diary: Yon & Mu by Junji Ito. In this book, the master of Japanese horror manga and creator of Uzumaki chronicles his real-life struggles with becoming a cat owner. His creepy art partnered with feline antics should make for an exceptionally unique read.
Until next time, thank you for reading!
I’ve never really read a Hellboy book or any graphic novel in a very long time. I absolutely love the films though (well most) so maybe I should pick one up.
They’re definitely worth reading. Start with the comic books if you do, because that’s where the main story unfurls, whereas the novels like the one I’m reading are more like side-stories.
I feel ya on the busy week and no time for reading. My parents left last night, and I was so excited to read before going to sleep, but just fell asleep instead. Glad you are enjoying this Hellboy more.
The cat comic does look really unique! I hope that you enjoy it!
Some times life just gets in the way of our reading…hope you get more time this week! 🙂
Thanks!
