Real hit and miss one for me (

It still feels like BPRD is lacking something Hellboy had in spades - I'm not sure if it's the loss of Mignola or what. (

Meh. That's all I've got for this. It's not bad, but it's not particularly good either. I feel like a lot of the stories in here has good idea's behind them, but there's never enough time to explore those ideas with only a few pages of story. The entire thing just comes off feeling shallow.

Nice stories ... tho' Hell Boy's absence does detract!
Miss his style! (

I really liked the title story in this collection, the Soul of Venice. The other stories were good, more of the same kind of one off adventures that result from back ups and one-shots. (
