Yeah when Dark Horse's website has it plastered over the site the story does seem to loose it's impact.

And here's another thing: So you go into the comic thinking "Ok, fine. The ending is ruined but at least it will have a nice sort of build up and then boom death and then denouement." Nope. Hellboy is killed at the last second and then the comic is over. OH HEY LOOKOUT FOR HELLBOY IN HELL COMING AT YOU 2012. I cannot stand that type of story telling. If we want to discuss this in another thread cool, but I don't want to derail this thread's ultimate purpose

I'm finally getting to read SCUD since it originally came out. Man it is the 90s in this sucker. Personally the 1st couple issues are a bit rough (similarly to a movie you loved as a kid and then go to watch and see how bad it actual is), but then it starts to find it's groove and everything becomes pretty fun. I remember that I had issues 7 & 8 but because I missed 4,5,6 I stopped reading until I could find those copies. Surprisingly enough I never found them until 17(!) years later. Eh, for the best! I'm enjoying them so much more with my mature older wiser brain!

On top of my crazy backlog of omnibuses (Thor, Captain America, Captain America vol 1, I'm putting in the Dark Phoenix Saga which I never read until it came out in Hard Cover (last year?). I haven't got much far into it (my problem not the books) but it just makes me want 2 things: Claremont Byrne X-Men Omnibus and a Byrne Fantastic Four Omnibus. I AM OBSESSED WITH OMNIBUS' OKAY?
