Hellboy in Love: The Art of Fire #1
Picking up the thread from the first Hellboy in Love mini-series, this new two-part adventures offers another pairing with Anastasia Bransfield. Set in the Fall of 1979, Hellboy and Anastasia head to Iceland to the mystery that first sent the archeologist down the rabbit hole of the supernatural. While the pair seem happy together we do see that their relationship is putting a strain on other aspects of their lives with the university commenting on Anastasia's choice of spending her time and the Hellboy going silent towards his friends and family at the B.P.R.D.
With only two issues, it's not surprising that Hellboy in Love: The Art of Fire #1 ends on a cliffhanger when the pair of intrepid adventurers' use of necromancy to talk to the dead witch within the dormant volcano takes an unexpected turn as the power from the surrounding area limits the bindings which should make her docile for question. Fun times, and now things are about to get even more interesting.
