What really surprised me was when I did eventually read the lettered version, it added surprisingly little to the story. I read an unlettered version of the story without knowing who the writer or artist on the story was. Mark Tweedale: This issue was actually my introduction to Jesse Lonergan’s work, though I didn’t initially read the version you did. While the Hyperborea pages fit in with the primordial opera of “Drome,” the Heliopic Brotherhood scenes are a fun injection of Victorian architecture and subtler character acting into the usual Lonergan vibe. I also think he’s had a real chance to switch up his own design palette with this book. He brings this Kirby Crackle to his page layouts, figures, and motion. It’s such a stratospheric departure from what we’ve seen in Hellboy Universe stories before, and is really unique in all of mainstream American comics. James Dowling: Starting us off, I think the most marked aspect of this story is the art of Jesse Lonergan.
