| | | Hellsing continues with more blood, guts, ghouls, and gothic murder. Created by Kohta Hirano, and making its way into an incredibly popular anime, Hellsing pushes the boundary of horror, yet looks so visually stunning and graphically cool that instead of being scary, it's super fun. Certainly not intended for younger readers, this series follows the Hellsing Organization, an old institution created by English royalty to squash the ghoulish undead of the world, as they face an insurgence of murderous monsters running rampant across the isles, fueled by...could it be...Nazi's? Watch the dark story unravel as Dark Horse Manga presents Hellsing volume 2.
Annotation:
This entertaining--and blood-soaked--manga inspired an anime series. Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing, the Director of the Hellsing Agency, a.k.a. the Order of Royal Protestant Knights, keeps Britain safe from the creatures of the night. Aided by the vampire bound to the Agency's service, Alucard (try spelling that name backwards), they must combat a rising tide of bloodsuckers...and Hellsing's vampire-hunting counterpart in the Vatican, Section XIII, who isn't too appreciative of Protestant "competition." The black-and-white depictions of the characters are fairly detailed, drawn in the delicately cartoon-y style typical of manga (i.e., big eyes, absurdly small, pointy noses). The art and captions retain the original Japanese right-to-left orientation.
