Meinhardt and Mr. Knox, joined here by the instantly iconic and far more tenacious Ms. Mary Van Sloan. As in [b:Mr. Higgins Comes Home|34919166|Mr. Higgins Comes Home|Mike Mignola|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1498254568l/34919166._SY75_.jpg|56182985], the hunters' monstrous quarry are often garrulous, charming, and doomed more by their own foibles than the efforts of their human antagonists. The episodic stories balance comedy and horror expertly, the result if pure fun and an effortless read. The action is propulsive and extremely well-rendered, with a great mix of a loose line, bold color, and great visual compositions. The stories definitely have a touch of [a:Mike Mignola|10182|Mike Mignola|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1548964535p2/10182.jpg] throughout, but Cadwell really makes the tales his own here, and thankfully these adventures are not connected to the greater Mignolaverse, so no need to worry about prophecies of Anung Un Rama getting in the way of the fun. Highly recommended and can't wait for more! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Mr. Higgins was just the beginning! Follow Professor J.T. Meinhardt and Mr. Knox as they continue their pursuit of ne'er-do-well creatures of the night! Backed by the dauntless vampire hunter Ms. Mary Van Sloan, the heroes of Mr. Higgins Comes Home pursue vampires, werewolves, and other horrors that even they are hard-put to name or explain. The only thing that's for certain is that the strange truths these adventurers uncover are seldom what they seem. From the horror-genius minds of Mike Mignola and Warwick Johnson-Cadwell comes the next installment of endearingly terrifying tales from Meinhardt, Knox, and Van Sloan. Set against the detailed and stylized background of Johnson-Cadwell's art, these stories are a striking continuation of daring occult adventure! Grab some garlic and silver bullets, and settle in for a thrilling read! Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Art was interesting but stories seemed so rushed that this [rather short] story collection read like a short toon from Cartoon Network channel.
If stories were more developed it would be great.
If you are interested in reading all tie-ins into the Hellboy universe then do read it. Otherwise do give it a chance by all means but if you are looking for detail story then this might not be for you. ( )
