Giant Robot Hellboy Returns #1 Surfaces This Week

Giant Robot Hellboy Returns #1 arrives Wednesday and it's exactly as weird as the title promises—scientists descend into the ocean chasing a missing mechanical demon, only to stumble into interdimensional chaos instead. The premise alone tells you this isn't your typical Hellboy adventure; the mechanical element adds a sci-fi wrinkle to what we usually get from the character. Interdimensional threats are apparently the real danger lurking in the deep, which sets up the question of whether this giant robot version of Hellboy can handle problems that exist outside normal reality. It's the kind of high-concept premise that makes Wednesday new releases worth hunting down.
