Hellboy: Blood and Iron (2007)

Second outing for the animated BPRD and this time it hits the mark. It's more of the Poe and less of the Lovecraft. John Hurt is back for the good times.

It might scare the young 'uns in places. They'll love that.

Why wasn't there a 3rd one, dammit?!

Hellboy: Sword of Storms (2006)

The animation lies somewhere between the comics and the films. With cloven feet and many of the film cast on voice duties, it feels authentic and complementary to both mediums.  

The big red gets tangled up in Japanese folklore.

It's a little underdeveloped, but it's got heart and spiders.
