Hellboy

Hellboy is the brainchild of writer and artist Mike Mignola (Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham, Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, B.P.R.D.) and is one of the strongest ongoing comics outside Marvel and DC. The self-titled hero, Hellboy, is a demon spawned by the evil Russian sorcerer Grigori Rasputin as the one who will start Armageddon. Hellboy was found by Allied forces and was adopted by Prof. Bruttenholm, the leader of the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, or B.P.R.D.

Hellboy eventually became the public face of B.P.R.D. as he faces off against demons, occultists, and monsters around the world but as fate would have it his past resurfaces. As the issue unfolds, the full truth of Hellboy's existence is revealed as he became the pivot of the world's existence once again.

The List
For first time Hellboy readers, the Hellboy universe is literally huge with almost every comic released having a direct continuity to the current storyline of both Hellboy and B.P.R.D. The storyline started at around the early 90s and is still going on strong until today.
