Welcome to Litsy!

An excellent take on vampire lore by gothic extraordinaire Mike Mignola. Lord Baltimore travels Europe on the hunt for the vampire that killed his family; the vampire he awakened during a battle at the height of WWI. Fueled by guilt and revenge, Baltimore's hunt is complicated by the rising of ancient evil throughout the continent.

83/150 If it wasn't for some nice artwork, this would have gotten a pan. None of the stories are scary, funny, mysterious, they seemed pointless mostly. The last story, A Dog and His Boy by Evan Dorkin & Jill Thompson, was the best of the lot. A sad tale of a dog's loyalty to a strange, dangerous boy. 2 ⭐⭐
2nd book finished for #20in4 @Andrew65
8th book finished for #Rushathon @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

80/150 Spinning out of Mignola's excellent Hellboy series, Witchfinder is a dark gothic tale of demons, ghosts, occult powers and secret societies This would make a perfect read for Halloween. 4 😈😈😈😈

4 ⭐ I read Hellboy to fill a diesel punk prompt for a reading challenge. Hellboy is a monster, but a friendly one with a poor attitude. He is a great anti-hero. I have read newer iterations of Hellboy but going back to the original really shows off that Hellboy is not just another Merc with a mouth, or a supped-up version of Deadpool, but a sensitive, broad backed character, with unusual friends and abilities, that turn a teddy bear rock hard.

Shocktober Film # 12 was Hellboy. It's been quite some time since I've watched the earlier movies starring Ron Perlman so I can't compare, but this was campy, gory fun! I think David Harbor was good in the role and after recently binging later seasons of Hawaii Five-0 without Daniel Dae Kim, it was a delight to see him here.

Returning to this world of boop-able snoots and a surfeit of gore, Beasts of Burden manages a fine balance with humor, emotion, and beautifully rendered art. #comics #dogsoflitsy

I was browsing Hoopla hoping to find a few comics or graphic novels that would work for my last few #LitsyAtoZ2019 reads & I found Beasts of Burden. It doesn‘t fit for J, T, U, Y unless I kinda bend the rules a bit go by the artist‘s last name instead of author‘s last name, but I really enjoyed it! I loved vol. 1 so I borrowed vol. 2 & I‘m looking forward to reading it once Minerva allows me to use the iPad! #CatwithBook #ReadingBuddy #CatsofLitsy
