Abe Sapien: Dark and Terrible Volume 1 by Mike Mignola, Scott Allie, John Arcudi
4.0
In parallel to the Hellboy's self-exile to find out what his true purpose is, Abe Sapien also decides to leave BPRD and find out if it is true that his mutations are linked with eruption of literal hell on Earth. Since some members of BPRD openly suspect he is connected with the appearances of the frogs he needs to show them he is not what they think he is.
During his wanderings through Texas, Arizona and Mexico Abe comes across signs of eroding human society, various cults and appearances of monsters, healers, witches and warlocks - some with the noble intentions, some not and others totally undecipherable. After rescuing girl named Grace from rather bizarre imprisonment Abe decides to stay with her and see where will the road take him next.
And in yet another parallel path we follow third "pilgrim" in these troubling times - necromancer and warlock Gustav Strobl in his quest to regain his position among the daemons of the deep (hell is suddenly very silent and Strobl cannot use it as a source of power) and finally obtain the mysterious power that Abe might be very part of.
Interesting collection of stories with wonderful art. Entire collection is more introspective and lethargic - almost all humans Abe comes across are more or less OK with their fate and this fatalistic view of the world only shows how deep did the society fall when confronted with unimaginable horrors from the deep.
Recommended for fans of horror and Hellboy's universe.
