A review by brandonadaniels
Abe Sapien: Dark and Terrible Volume 1 by Mike Mignola, Scott Allie, John Arcudi

4.0

This was a weird one. The art is amazing. The Fiamura brothers are a great addition to the Mignolaverse, and, at the very least, this is an amazing showcase of their (and Stewart’s) talents. The writing/story is the thing I bumped on the most, and I’m still scrums head a little about it. It’s long and languid and a little repetitive. Abe spends the majority of the book wandering around different towns bumping into similar scenarios and similar groups of people. It’s not very different than many early Hellboy stories, which makes it even stranger that it did t fully work for me.
