I hate to start this off on such a down note, but the all-over-the-place-ness of this collection of one-off stories really makes you appreciate the singular aesthetic that the Hellboy universe has developed over time. There are some treasures to be found here (a fun riff on The Exorcist with Liz, a nice slice-of-life bit for Hellboy's birthday) but they are few and far between - the two "canon" tales are not really worth the price of admission, in my opinion.

Mixed bag of short comic tales about Hellboy and/or other members of the BPRD. Good for those who want a few extra stories about the Hellboy universe, but you're not missing much if you decide to skip it. ( )
