Alright, it’s time for the big Hellboy/BPRD reread. I’ve had these library editions for years and there was an amazing Mignolaverse humble bundle recently. I think I have basically all of it physically and/or digitally. Let’s go. #hellboy

My 5-year-old daughter has become obsessed with my Hellboy graphic novels and I gotta say…pretty proud over here. Slightly worried they’re too scary, but mostly pretty proud.

Absolutely loved A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers. She writes a future I want to live in. The sequel is equally great.
