Ed Grey and the Last Battle for England #1 Writer: Mike Mignola Artist: Ben Stenbeck Colorist: Dave Stewart Letterer: Clem Robins Cover Artist: Ben Stenbeck
If you want to learn mythological the right way, you turn to Mike Mignola. This first issue seems simple but is not: it is a master storyteller at work.
In this story, we return to Avalon, primal England, where only spirits and sprites reside. Hellboy died and came back to life in the last installment of the B.P.R.D, but the world has changed forever.
Witchfinder Ed Grey is only a little soul, residing in Hell, until he is summoned by Alice, queen of the last standing realm on earth, to defend her and England against Morgan Le Fay and her champion.
In mythology, Ragnarok, or any other end of the world, turns out to be a cyclical venture: you need to destroy the world to start afresh.
Everything about this issue is marvelous, especially the coloring by Dave Stewart, the atmosphere is uncanny, and the still images say more than the words that accompany them.
