A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

NOTE: I am currently reading the Hellboy series if any other comic or publisher or Dark Horse themselves might have something.

Those are some very good recommendations...

Happy it helps - I'm a big Hellboy (and occult detective, in general) fan, so am always on the lookout for other things that would scratch that it itch and those are the ones that came immediately to mind. It's a lot so have a read around and see what sounds good. If I had to grab a couple of books off the shelf to get you started then I'd go The Doom That Came to Gotham (recently got a nice trade I believe) and either Hellblazer or Necronauts.

Worth noting a number are from 2000AD, so you'd largely get trade paperbacks collecting the original anthologised stories, but that might not be an issue coming from Hellboy where you really get a collection of shorter stories.
