Abe Sapien #4

Spinning out of the pages of Hellboy, this 2014 Dark Horse collection finds Abe Sapien at a genuinely unsettling crossroads, as suggested by Mike Mignola's brooding cover — a gaunt, skull-like figure looming overhead while Abe himself stands wreathed in pale flowers, his luminous blue eyes the only warmth against an oppressive black void. The title, The Shape of Things to Come, carries real weight here, hinting at transformation and dread in equal measure. With interior art by Max Fiumara and colors by Dave Stewart bringing that signature dark-mythic atmosphere to life, this is the kind of Hellboy-universe storytelling that lingers with you.
