"Beware my claw, for I've come to inflict justice!" After years of captivating fans from the pages of Hellboy and B.P.R.D., the pulp-style adventures of Lobster Johnson take the limelight in this collection of The Lobster's first solo series. Written and featuring a cover by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, and drawn by Jason Armstrong (Ferro City, The Sensational Spider-Man), Lobster Johnson: The Iron Prometheus is a wild ride full of fearsome monsters, mad scientists, and threats from the world beyond.

Summary: A serviceable addition to the Hellboy family.
Comment: If you're not a Hellboy completist then you won't miss much if you don't read Lobster Johnson's serviceable, collected adventure.
Lobster Johnson is written by Mignola and has many of the nuances that you'd find in the main Hellboy series. The title character is the gritty, pulp hero of few words who takes on the Nazis during the 1930s.
As I said before, the story is quite serviceable but just doesn't really compare to the brilliant scripting of B.P.R.D. or have the heart and soul of the main Hellboy series.
Jason Armstrong's artistic style lends himself to be well suited for this book. His graphic storytelling is clear and interesting.
My main enjoyment of this book comes from the copious supplemental sketchbook material provided by Mignola, Guy Davis, and Jason Armstrong.

Summary: Lobster Johnson - the Iron Prometheus
Comment: Mike Mignola's Pulp character, Lobster Johnson, whose cameos in the "Hellboy" and "BPRD" series have proved popular, gets a solo runout in this book. Think "the Rocketeer" meets "Batman" and you get the idea. All the usual Mignola Pulp touches and nuances are here - Nazi agents, mad science, enigmatic Chinese gents and huge, world-destroying monsters, plus yet more retro-cybernetic hardware! A must for Mignola fans and good fun for fans of the whole Pulp adventure genre.
Time for you to face the Claw!
