Ladies and gentlemen, the Hellboy Essential Collection has experienced a slight delay in shipping. Official reports mention something about a “slow boat” and “China.” I suspect, however, that sinister forces are behind the delay. The crew has reported unusual weather conditions, and three of their number have gone missing. But the brave ship soldiers on, and will be here in early February. Barring unforeseen circumstances. . .
