After a re-read I'm a bit confused on what she get out of all this. Several times she aids the Ogdru-Jahad, but also in the end she seems to have no problem with them not inheriting earth.

In a way, it makes no difference if Hecate is Ereshikgal or a creation of her, but in the end she seems very invested in the end that we got, and I wonder "why"? My own interpretation:

When Helboy recovered his hand from Osiris club, Edward said that it was infused with the power of the Dragon. That and the sacrifice along with Hecate end up birthing the new world throught Hellboy's blood.

During the comic we have seem that the Ogdru-Jahad's power is very tied with "mutation and changing life" and that was a necessary component to the rebirth of earth and the new creatures that inhabit it on Frankenstein's comic 1000 years later. There is also the fact that besides the frog, a lot of the creatures and vegetation of the new world seem to share sealife characteristics, which is another element tied to the Ogdru-Hem.

My conclusion: Rather than just embodying change and entropy, The Darkness is invested into being part of "creation", which it manages to do by heping birth the new world with Hellboy.

Am I tripping?

Seems there’s a few months time skip between BPRD 9 and 10. Kinda confused abut what’s going on with Abe. Last i saw him in BPRD 6 or 7 he had finally woken up from his coma, then he just disappears. Now at the beginning of 10 he got rid of an Ogdru Hem all by himself?

Do I stop BPRD 10 until I read AS dark and terrible or read on?

Off topic, yes, but I figure a lot of people here are Jesse Lonergan fans after his fantastic work on Miss Truesdale, so why not discuss his Eisner award winning graphic novel, Drome.

I'm aware for example that Hellboy is Catholic but from what I've read it's not a topic he talks about much.

My creator owned comic ENGRAVED. For fans of Hellboy, Sin City and X-Files!
I’m looking for HELLBOY artist edition volume ONE… here is my art if you wanna trade…

Hi everyone! I’m working on a 3D model of Hellboy and wanted to know what you think. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome. I’m planning to pose him and create a scene in the style of a collectible statue. Do you have any ideas for a setting, pose, or cool accessories that would suit the character well? I’m still working on the sculpt and details, and the colors are just a blockout for now.

I'm really excited to read this.

Hi I’ve just finished all of the hellboy and bprd 50s series. I also read the unnumbered hellboy and the bprd books; but is there meant to be a continuation of the plot in 1958?
