About book Hellboy: The Midnight Circus (2013)

I loved everything about this book--the art, the story, the smell of the paper. This is the first Hellboy comic I've ever read, and it was nice to see a story from his past. I fondly remember reading "Something Wicked This Way Comes" in junior high. I had this morbid fascination with the creepy circus and everything that went on there. This art in this book was a near perfect representation of how I imagined things while reading that book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more Hellboy graphic novels. Everyone else is raving about this book but I have to say...wha?!?!? First, 56 pages? $16.99? Are you kidding me? I know that isn't a review of the story but still, you have to be some kind of crazy to buy it. Second, the art is passable but not the jaw dropping spectacular the other reviews were build it up to be. Anatomy problems, Mignola-lite, not a lot of creativity. Story-wise? Well it is 56 pages what do you expect. It is a cute little short story that didn't add anything to the character. I guess I have never fallen in love with Hellboy the way other people have (even though I love Mignola's art from way back when I first saw it in the 80's) and this short story didn't change that opinion. A cute idea but the stories never interest me. This is no exception. And only 56 pages??!? I still don't get why people are handing out the 4 stars for this. But to each their own.
