Who else reads Hellboy? It's one of my favorite series so I thought it deserved a thread.

I need to start. Although I find the art a bit...iffy. It seems like it'll be hit or miss.

I like the art personally, it's very distinctive, contributing to the charm. As to the story, it's awesome and definitely not hit and miss in my opinion

What are some good jumping on points? I'm not afraid to do a some backlogging with trades.

there are only 6 trade volumes out so starting with #1 is very easy. If that's not what you're looking for, then Right Hand of Doom is a good point to jump in

I read Seed of Destruction and Wake the Devil last week. Just not my thing. It isn't bad or anything, just meh for me. I don't think I'll be picking anything up from it.

I have seen the two live action movies and the two animated ones. I would like to start reading it. And the art from what I have seen, even though it isn't the art that I usually like, seems very nice.

Hellboy isn't for everyone, thought I will point out it really gets better as the series progresses. I love Hellboy personally. @nightwish: if you ever need info or want to talk about Hellboy I'm your man.

Good, though as I have said above if you can't find the first trade Right Hand of Doom is also a good jumping point

Second trade is good, thought not my favorite. So far Chained Coffin and others is my favorite.

My LCS should have the 1st one. They have a pretty good trade inventory.

I'd be willing to give the comic a shot, however I wasn't all that fond of the films.
