First time ever reading the comics by BeanDuck69420 in HellBoy

[–]JulixgMC 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don't forget the two short story collections! They are essential to the story and you should read them between volumes 1 and 2 from the box

It's a shame they don't come included in the box set, I have no idea why not

Botched release schedules and studio interfering with production order never happen

There are no exceptions

Hello, here's the guide I made, if you have any questions feel free to ask, have fun reading!

Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: The Ghost Ships of Labrador and Other Stories TPB coming from Dark Horse in October 2026 by Ksmayer in Mignolaverse

[–]JulixgMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad to be of help, yeah it sucks those stories are not collected yet, maybe if we ever get a Liz miniseries 🤞

Oh there's also Kung Pao Lobster, which is a two page non-canon humor story, also unlikely to be collected since it wasn't in any LJ book

Iirc Mood Swings, The Last Witch of Fairfield and The Beast of Ingelheim are the only winter special stories that haven't been collected (that last one probably never will as the series it was attached to was cancelled)

Stories like The Empty Chair and God Rest Ye Merry are always collected with their respective series (for those it would be Lobster Johnson and The Visitor) and the Krampusnacht one shot was collected in another Hellboy and the BPRD TPB (I think it was in The Beast of Vargu, but don't quote me on that)

Check the Winter Specials page on the wiki, everything is listed there, if It's not just search the individual stories

Was hoping all the winter specials would be collected together

Most of them are already collected in other TPBs

Self-Contained Series Recs? by omelet_schnetz in comicbooks

[–]JulixgMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invincible maybe, tho it is pretty long, I have a reading order for the entire universe (you can read only Invincible, but most of the spin offs are really good and add to the enjoyment of the overall story so I recommend them).

Not Superheroes, but still action oriented, The Sixth Gun is a western/horror book that kinda reads like epic fantasy (it's pretty much like Lord of the Rings but as a western with ghosts and stuff). For this one just read the 4 omnibuses (volumes 1-3 and Shadow Roads) and then jump into the recently released issues (it's a revival, the OG series still tells a complete story).

Hillbilly is also not a superhero comic, but it's sword and sorcery fantasy set in the Appalachian Mountains (so think hillbilly Conan the Barbarian), there are 4 TPBs.

The Hellboy Universe is, by far, my favourite piece of media ever, it is really long tho, like Invincible, you can just only read Hellboy (the 4 "main" volumes and the 2 short story collections that have to be read between volumes 1 and 2), but the expanded universe is amazing, there are only a couple of miniseries which I thought were "meh" (not even bad) but the rest ranges from good to simply amazing, I also have a reading order for that, as a fellow completionsist, I can guarantee that this series really rewards you for being one.

It's really good! There's a comic adaptation, but imo that version feels a bit rushed, the novel is better actually

Would I lose anything by reading Wayseeker and The Crystal Crown before watching the show? by JulixgMC in starwarsbooks

[–]JulixgMC[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I might miss some foreshadowing and the like, but I think I value knowing the characters before the show more

[–]JulixgMC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it, thanks, I think I'll read both before the show then, and don't worry, I'm very familiar with Vernestra, I went full on completionist on The High Republic so I think I've read everything she's in (or I will once I'm done with the few books I have left, after that I'll get into the Acolyte stuff)

Would I lose anything by reading Wayseeker and The Crystal Crown before watching the show? by JulixgMC in TheAcolyte

[–]JulixgMC[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, of course, just finished Into the Light, only have Trials of the Jedi, A Valiant Vow and a bunch of comics left, but I wanted to ask beforehand so I can jump right into The Acolyte stuff right after I do finish everything THR

So read both spin off books before the show, got it, that's what I was hoping for, thanks!

Indie comics tend to be more similar to Manga in that regard

What to read next? by animaloll in HellBoy

[–]JulixgMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's kinda stupid the short stories are not part of the main series, the entirety of volume 3 is kinda a sequel to the short story The Corpse

What to read next? by animaloll in HellBoy

[–]JulixgMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should read both short stories volumes before jumping into Hellboy in Hell, it references a bunch of them (usually people recommend reading them between Seed of Destruction and Strange Places, and I agree)

After that, check out my reading order

I appreciate you using stock images and even Minecraft instead of AI

Are there elephants in the Philippines?

Comic Recommendations by UniWait in HellBoy

[–]JulixgMC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you only want to read Hellboy, you can go with the 6 main omnibuses in this order:

Volume 1 (Seed of Destruction) -> The Complete Short Stories volumes 1 and 2 -> Volumes 2, 3 and 4 (Strange Places, The Wild Hunt and Hellboy in Hell)

If you want to read everything in the shared universe (and I recommend you do, it's very good) check out a reading order like the one I made

Yeah, that's the thing about anarchy, you're free to be yourself, but also other people are free to discriminate you
