Vampires Are The New Superheroes
While pop culture has been ruled by the superheroes for the last few years, from Kavalier And Clay through Heroes and the box-office draw of movies like the Spider-Man series, Iron Man and The Dark Knight, it's worth remembering the words of the most dour of the Fab Four and realizing that All Things Must Pass. But while movie studios may be hoping that toys are the next nostalgia-fueled craze, it's beginning to look like our future may just be one big pain in the neck. More » -

Do We Really Need Hellboy to "Come Out"?
I love smashing, and lighting things on fire, and monsters fighting on top of giant gears with huge mechanical creatures covered in golden carapaces — but I don't love a sloppy allegory about minority rights, and that's unfortunately what you'll get in the new Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. And no, the stuff about minorities isn't something I'm "reading into" the plot of this awesome monster extravaganza from the brains of comic book artist Mike Mignola and director Guillermo del Toro. It's right there on the surface, with a Magneto-style separatist from the elf underworld wanting to crush humans who make his people "ashamed" to be open about their monstery ways. Also, at one point, we hear a television news anchor complaining about how Hellboy's organization, the Bureau for Paranormal Defense and Research (BPRD), "promotes inter-species relations, thereby undermining traditional marriage." Gee, do you smell a subtext? Spoilers ahead. More » -

Mike Mignola, Creator of Hellboy: Low-tech and Badass
Welcome back to Jewels of Apator, Ann & Jeff VanderMeer's biweekly column about the intersection of art and the fantastic. It may be hard to understand now just how fresh and different Mike Mignola’s Hellboy was when the first installment, Seeds of Destruction, came out from Dark Horse Comics in 1994. Wise-cracking anti-heroes have always been around, whether in comics or other media. But Mignola went a step further: he brought in Boys from Brazil-style Nazi bad guys, monsters that could rival Lovecraft’s Old Ones for sheer alien intensity, a cast of fascinating supporting characters, and a mysterious past for Big Red himself. What made it work, however, was his approach to the art. We've got an interview with Mignola below, as well as a gallery of his art. More »
