Best line in a work of fiction that I’ve read in a while:
HELLBOY: Lady, I was gonna cut you some slack, ’cause you’re a major mythological figure…
[Hellboy proceeds to gift the Lamia with a sweet uppercut to the jaw: BAPP!!]
Hellboy. Oh, yes, amusing. Witty, sarcastic, well-researched, and full of the mythological, folkloric, and occult. Terribly good. It’s taken me a while to discover it, but now that I have, wow.
