I think Mike Mignola’s art is truly wonderful, but his writing has gotten awfully formulaic and thus boring in the past 5 years worth of Hellboy/BPRD stories. “Hellboy: The Storm and The Fury” was really bad; how could that piece of drivel ever be considered a climax? First it was for 5 issues a recap of the previous stories then in the last issue it was a rather boring fist-fight between Hellboy and the Ogdru Jahad. Then Hellboy pricks “The Dragon” with an apparently “blessed” excalibur and then Nimue’s ghost nonsensically reaches into Hellboy’s chest and takes his heart and now Hellboy is in Hell, the end. I expected so much more from a climax of a conflict between The Ogdru Jahad and Hellboy.
