Lobster Johnson: Satan Smells a Rat cover by Kevin Nowlan

“In 1939, American government operative Lobster Johnson learns that Adolf Hitler has captured an Archangel that fell to Earth. He tries to release the Archangel, but fails and is killed by Hitler’s men.

In modern times, Tom Manning, the director of the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, learns from Agent John Myers, who is infiltrated in Antartica, that Roderick Zinco, the CEO of Zinco Enterprises, is actually a Neo-Nazi. Zinco revived Kroenen as a head in a jar connected to a large robotic body, and together, they revive the russian occultist Rasputin.

Knowing that Hellboy and his girlfriend, Liz Sherman, have quit the B.P.R.D. and are expecting twins, Rasputin decides to release the Archangel, now in Zinco’s possession, and brainwash him into believing his mission on Earth is to destroy the Fallen One’s son before his seeds of destruction devastate the planet, as part of a masterplan to manipulate Hellboy into taking revenge for his children’s death by using his birthright to unleash Hell on Earth.

Myers rejoins the B.P.R.D. in America, where, alongside the ectoplasmic agent Johann Krauss, the ghost of Lobster Johnson and Roger, the Homunculus, they set to protect Liz and her children as well as help Hellboy and Abe Sapien to defeat the Archangel and stop Rasputin, Kroenen and Zinco before their plans for doomsday come to fruition.

In the process, Krauss faces Kroenen, who is responsible for Krauss’ wife’s death. In an attempt to revive her, Krauss accidentally caused the mystic explosion that destroyed his body and turned him into an ectoplasmic being, living in a containment suit developed by Hellboy’s adoptive father, Professor Trevor Broom.

In the end, although the Archangel fails to kill Hellboy’s children, Hellboy is succesfully tricked into opening the gates of Hell, thus fulfiling the prophecy of the Angel of Death, but sacrifices himself to close them, proving to the defeat forces of Rasputin that, once and for all, everyone has a choice, which is Professor Broom’s oldest lesson to Hellboy.”

What.

No.

Please.

Give this to me. Ron Perlman makes the perfect Hellboy too.

I am saddened I will never see this film.

Today, at one of my LCS, there was a huge sidewalk sale, where they had a bunch of CDs, movies, books, games, comics, etc. going for 25 cents and up. Pretty awesome. And inside the store, everything was 25% off. Even more awesome. I picked up:

-The first six issues of the new The Defenders ongoing

-B.P.R.D. volume 5: The Black Flame

-Captain America: Winter Soldier (I always wanted to check out Brubaker’s run on Cappy, since I love Fatale and Winter Soldier by him so much right now)

-Strange Adventures (volume 2) #1

-Some cute little buildable Marvel figures (Spider-Man, Hulk, and Captain America)

-“Catching the Big Fish” by David Lynch

I’ve gotten a haircut, visited an awesome Vietnamese bakery (but some dude stole my cake :c), attempted to sing “Bennie and the Jets” by Elton John in autotune for one of my friends, drove down to the Great Escape, bought awesome stuff, and saw a few people I never see too often. It’s been a cool day so far. Now I just want to chill in my room.

Ed Brubaker just started a new Captain America run too. It’s only 11 issues in and I’m tempted to start picking those up. I’m also interested in picking up Greg Rucka’s The Punisher, because I’ve heard great things, and I just love Rucka’s “Batwoman: Elegy.”

Oh yeah, Free Comic Book Day was last week too. I got pretty much all the free ones I wanted, but to the people who got the Atomic Robo and 2000 AD Judge Dredd Special… I am jealous. I could not find a copy of either anywhere. :c I was also disappointed the FCBD Adventure Time comic wasn’t actually a new story (like someone told me it would be), and just a snippet of the first issue. But oh well, it was free. No complaints.

Comics I got this week (4/11/12):

-Adventure Time #3

-Avenging Spider-Man #6

-Batwoman #8

-Carnage USA #5

-Conan the Barbarian #3

-Demon Knights #8

-Frankenstein Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #8

-Lobster Johnson: The Burning Hand #4

-Resurrection Man #8

-Saga #2

-Saucer Country #2

-The Shade #7

-Thief of Thieves #3

-Winter Soldier #4

Most are on my pull list anyways, but there’s still a few titles I’m unsure of. And I wanted to findAmazing Spider-Man Hooky #1, but Role of the Die didn’t have it. I’m going to check Comic Book World or The Great Escape this weekend to see if either do, because I hear it’s a nifty read.

I may start posting my pull list every week.
