About the Author

Mike Mignola was born September 16, 1960 in Berkeley, California and grew up in nearby Oakland. His fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age and reading Dracula at age 13 introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore from which he has never recovered. In 1993 Mike moved to Dark Horse comics and created Hellboy, a half-demon occult detective who may or may not be the Beast of the Apocalypse. While the first story line Seed of Destruction, was co-written by John Byrne, Mike has continued writing the series himself. There are, at this moment, numerous Hellboy graphic novel collections with more on the way, several spin-off titles (BPRD, Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien and Witchfinder), three anthologies of prose stories, several novels, two animated films, and two live action films staring Ron Perlman. Hellboy has earns numerous comic industry awards and is published in a great many countries. The author lives in Los Angeles, CA..

Mike Mignola is best known as the multiple award-winning creator, writer, and artist of "B.P.R.D." and "Hellboy", but has fostered several other projects like "The Amazing Screw-On Head" and "Baltimore" with Christopher Golden. Although he began working as a professional cartoonist in the early 1980s, drawing 'a little bit of everything for just about everybody' - including characters like Batman and Wolverine - he was also a production designer on the Disney film "Atlantis: The Lost Empire". Mignola also acted as a visual consultant to Guillermo del Toro on "Blade 2" and the film versions of Hellboy, which were broadly adapted by del Toro from the original comic series. Mike Mignola currently lives in southern California with his wife, daughter, and cat.

The series keeps getting better. One of my must read series. The artwork, although not Mike's, it's similar enough to be a part of the whole story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good balance to the action oriented BPRD
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2015

I've really been enjoying Scott Allie's writing for the current Abe Sapien ongoing. BPRD has gradually discarded a lot of the absurd team-book humor that made it great (back when Roger and Daimio were still around) in favor of some insane monster fighting action. While I enjoy both James Harren's and Laurence Campbell's artwork, they have such vastly different styles that the book has started to swing too dramatically from story to story. It's like the difference between the movies ALIEN and ALIENS, which isn't a terrible thing story-wise, but it can make it difficult to keep track of all the regular joe type characters.

Abe Sapien on the other hand has stuck with alternating art from the Fiumara bro's. While they do each have their own style, they are similar enough to make Abe feel cohesive in a way that the rest of the Hellboy spinoff titles don't. Allie's writing is much more introspective and surreal, fitting for the lead character. It's a bit like  Kung Fu: The Complete Series Collection  set during the apocalypse. There are some very surreal moments in this book that remind me of avant garde cinema - things like Dali's  Un Chien Andalou  and Darren Aronofsky's  Pi . It's a nice counterpoint to the increasingly bombastic BPRD series - while Johann and Liz fight literal monsters, Abe is fighting monsters of a more figurative kind - his own internal demons and those of the confused, angry and marginalized people he encounters in this strange new world. While BPRD shows us what is happening to the Earth, Abe Sapien takes time to show the effect it's having on the average person.

I'm starting to really like the mystery of who Abe is and this book expands upon that BUT they introduce a character named "Grace" that is pure cancer, all she does is bitch and yell the whole comic she actually ruined this volume for me, such a dumb nothing character.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Sad Mistake In Every Way.

A No Fun Read. This End - Of - The - World plot line is so well crafted that I have had more than enough. Hellboy and his spin offs are dark enough already. but they have, at least, the tiniest glimmer of humor sprinkled here and there on a regular basis. This book has all the joy of a Gregorian funeral chant. The art is MM's usual masterful imagery. And maybe that is part of my problem. By the time I got finished with the book the story and and its telling conveyed such hopelessness that I had to go read some Marvel reprints before I could sleep. I don't know if I will finish reading the thing or not.
Is this the mark of a master story teller, striking such deep chords with a "comic book"? Maybe so. But, do I want to spend my hard earned cash on a guaranteed bummer of a series? NO WAY. I really liked this cover, so I did an out of character thing and bought this book without reading or buying any of the other issues in this series. I am so glad I did! I saved myself a good little chunk of change getting a set of books I am almost sure I would hate. Life can be depressing enough. I do not need to see one of my favorite Fish Dudes put through Hell On Earth in one pathetic issue after another. I will stick with Hellboy and let this spin off sputter away in its sadly misguided path.
Good luck on all your current projects, Mike. I hope there are many more new Hellboy stories to tell. I have loved them all.

I liked it, but the Abe Sapien storyline has been kind of going nowhere. It's like he's wandering the earth like Kung Fu. I hope they get this storyline going somewhere again as I'm a big Abe fan.

2.0 out of 5 stars See Abe Sapien meander over the Southwest.
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2016
The series appears to be foundering. Not much at all happens in this volume. Most of the issues are about characters that just pop in for one issue instead of being about Abe. It's disappointing since Hellboy and B.P.R.D. are so consistently great.
