Why Mike Mignola Draws the Best Fight Scenes Ever

A masked avenger named Lobster Johnson should always fight a skeleton army with two guns and some kind of glowing-goggle mask. And yet so few people seem to understand this. That's why comic book artist/writer Mike "Hellboy" Mignola, creator of Lobster Johnson and many other mysterious heroes, rules. He is the man who understands how a fight scene should happen.

More Monstery Goodness in New Hellboy II Trailer

Yahoo's got the full theatrical trailer for Hellboy II: The Golden Army, and once again it's clear that director Guillermo Del Toro won't be skimping on the monsters.
