Customer Review #1:
Welcom to Everything Great about Comics
The latest instalment in one of the best comic series currently being produced (if not ever produced), Mignolias Conquorer Worm is everything fun about comics and fiction in general. We got your Lovecraft, your Pulp Heroes, dark castles, cyborg monkies and Nazis. Oh my.
Proving that comics can be atmospherically dark and still fun, our federally funded big demon lug continues on his journey of self discovery and finding bizarre creatures to punch in the face. Great if read in sequence with the rest of the series but also stand on its own two feet, Conqueror Worm can not be spoken of highly enough in my opinion.
It is almost impossible to find another comic book, or any other book for that matter, quite like it, and by the end of this particular yarn, youll be wishing for more Lobster Johnson.
Buy this book now. Buy two of them.

Pretty Nifty
Mike Mignola does it again with Conqueror Worm. This collection brings together some of Mignolas best work to date. Unfortunately I must say that this looks like a fitting end to the Hellboy series for the time being. I say unfortunately because I am a big fan of the Hellboy series, and while this book is an excellent read, it only whets the appetite for more Mignola. Sigh. That being said, this book is a great read and an important addition to the Hellboy library. Definitely worth the asking price boys and girls.

Customer Review #3:
the tragedy "Man," And its hero the Conqueror Worm
Mike Magnolia brings it all together, all of the creepy bits, the folklore, the boggles and ghosts, Christ and the Devil, Lovecraft and Poe, he gathers all of the elements that make this kind of fiction wonderful, and binds them in the world of Hellboy. Anyone who enjoys the wierd fiction/folklore horror genre will enjoy Hellboy."Conqueror Worm" has all of the elements of a great Hellboy story. Mystical Nazis seek to contact things from "beyond," who wait for mankinds destruction. If this sounds familiar, then you will probably like Hellboy. Newer characters, in the form of Roger the Homunculus and Lobster Johnston are developed, and become an interesting part of the Hellboy mythos rather than side players. The art is amazing, as usual. Magnolia refines his style with each Hellboy release. As always, the TPB offers new material and is superior to the monthly comic release. The entire Hellboy library is as worth owning as the complete works of Poe or Lovecraft. "Conqueror Worm" is a necessary edition.
