Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1957 – Falling Sky

After the introduction of Dr. Woody Farrier as the new Cryptozoologist for the B.P.R.D. we get a few single-panel snapshots of his adventures with Hellboy over a few years (leading to resentment over time at the pull of field work versus scientific exploration in the lab) before the two show up in Sutton, West Virginia, in 1957 to investigate a flying saucer.

Hellboy: The Bones of Giants #3

Hellboy: The Bones of Giants #3 offers the first face-off between Hellboy and the restricted Frost King Thrym which results in a draw when the Frost Giant retreated to build up his strength setting up a final confrontation in next issues’ series conclusion.

Aside from the giant, Hellboy: The Bones of Giants #3 also gives us the giant wolf Garm who our heroes come across feasting on the remains of a village as they continue their way north in search of Thrym.

Overall, it’s a solid middle issue to the arc with a couple of fun sequences but leaves the big action to play out in the four-issue mini-series’ conclusion.
