Although story begins with Crimson Lotus' origin story ... of sorts ..... (is there a place Rasputin never showed up :) ) she very quickly becomes background element, shadowy character that takes revenge on people that killed her father (with and without the help of Japanese occupation force in China) and seeks the mysterious statue stolen by Rasputin during Japan-Russia conflict in beginning of 20th century.
Main characters here are two Chinese spies (story takes place in 1930's) trying to prevent Crimson Lotus from obtaining the ancient artifact. One spy is cocky, James Bond-like westernized agent with quick wit and guns while the other is a serious one, a sorcerer, girl aware of what is going on and what is at stake.
With all of the above story was great until end. For me end seemed a little bit too rushed. We had final fight, tension but in the end it all looked like "what was the fuss all about?"
Art is gorgeous and although cartoony I find it very good indeed.
Recommended to fans of Hellboy's lore and universe. (
