Viewing Notes

I’m an easy mark for stuff like this. Love the creator journey esp. one like this where Mignola kinda stumbles into the career he made for himself. Also love all the BTS stuff around the movies and del Toro; it’s nice to see that they both have kind words for each other now after the fallout from the last Hellboy movie. Speaking of, I wish we had gotten a little more on that film and how it went down to make another one.

Hope this doc brings more attention to Mignola beyond the fanbase he current enjoys. Not sure it well as it’s very targeted to those already familiar with his work but I can hope.
