Hellsing, Vol. 2

Hellsing [ヘルシング] #2

by Kohta Hirano

Hellsing continues with more blood, guts, ghouls, and gothic murder. Created by Kohta Hirano, and making its way into an incredibly popular anime, Hellsing pushes the boundary of horror, yet looks so visually stunning and graphically cool that instead of being scary, it's super fun. Certainly not intended for younger readers, this series follows the Hellsing Organization, an old institution created by English royalty to squash the ghoulish undead of the world, as they face an insurgence of murderous monsters running rampant across the isles, fueled by... could it be... Nazi's? Watch the dark story unravel as Dark Horse Manga presents Hellsing volume 2.

About the author

Kohta Hirano (平野 耕太 Hirano Kōta) is a Japanese mangaka most famous for his manga Hellsing. Starting his career first as a mangaka's assistant (self-described as "horrible" and "lazy" in said assistant position), and later an H manga artist, he went on to enjoy somewhat limited success with other relatively unknown manga titles such as Angel Dust, Coyote, Gun Mania and Hi-Tension. His first major success came with his manga series Hellsing, which got its start and was subsequently serialized in a monthly manga magazine, Young King OURs, towards the latter half of 1997.

Reviews

[Ondřej Halíř]

Druhé volumko je mnohonásobně lepší než to první. Akce je tu sice stejně výborná ale přibilo více ujetého humoru a postavy se přeci jen trochu více vybarvili a možná přijde i Laura Palmer.

Fakt tohle je skvělá béčkárna která nenudí a nabízí humor, gore, hlášky a místy skvěle bizarní nápady.
