The Rundown: Hellboy and Anastasia travel to England to work on a local mystery and some personal issues.
In Coventry England in the winter of 1979, two former members of the BPRD have retired to the small town to live out the rest of their days together. With the holidays approaching, they decide to invite Hellboy to stay with them along with his girlfriend Anastasia.
When the two arrive, the older couple notices a tension between them and they give the young couple advice as they reveal that they also invited them to investigate the stories of a local ghost haunting the streets. A ghost with a tragic past and a unique challenge for Hellboy.
The Story: Mignola and Golden continue to craft a fun, endearing and entertaining story in this issue. I love the exploration of this relationship and the complications it makes on both their lives. I love seeing them navigate the relationship as well and everything that comes with it. The story has a lighter tone than I was expecting and I think it works brilliantly with the tone of the series.
The Art: Nieto delivers beautifully detailed and visually engaging art throughout the issue that perfectly captures the tone and mood of the story.
