Oh yeah, and Hellboy becomes HellThor. That is pretty groovy. Mjolnir, Frost Giants, dwarves, and lots of running around in Sweden, which is certainly a pleasant change of setting.
If you were put off by The Lost Army, don't be - this book is considerably better.
Its a great book to read on its own. I'd rather prefer these than the comic series.

If you are interested in a fun read with some of your favourite characters, with the epic monsters and God's from Norse mythology look no further.

Na toll.
"Bones of Giants", geschrieben von Christopher Golden (Joe Golem und Baltimore), ist ein gutes, spannendes Buch. Leicht zu lesen, es passiert auch genug und am Ende bereut man die Lektüre auch nicht. Wäre es eine frühe Hellboy - Episode, hätte sie sogar zu den Guten der frühen Phase gehört, vielleicht sogar wesentlich ausgereifter als die ersten Gehversuche Mike Mignolas als Autor. Aber spätestens ab "The last Wish" schlug "Hellboy" eine neue Richtung ein. Die Geschichten wurden düsterer, die Themen tiefer und Hellboy noch wortkarger und bitterer. Kurz gesagt, Hellboy ließ seine pulpigen Hintergründe hinter sich und wurde viel mehr. "Bones of Giants" ist insofern interessant, als dass es genau zwischen den Stühlen steht. Einerseits wird im Vergleich zu späteren Episoden viel mehr Handlung eingebaut als nötig (inklusive einer nutzlosen Romanze für Hellboys Freund Abe) und man versucht die Leser nicht zu sehr mit den nordischen Thematiken zu verwirren, auf der anderen Seite wird das Buch genau dann am interessantesten wenn es in diese Mythologie einsteigt und Hellboy Teil dieser untergegangenen Welt wird, die vor seinen Augen wiederaufersteht. Man fragt sich sogar, warum man sich nach dem Blitz sich nicht komplett darauf konzentriert hat!
Vielleicht wäre es für uneingeweihte Leser zu abstrakt gewesen. Auf der anderen Seite sollte genau dieses komplette Abtauchen in die Mythologie einer Region die Serie auch zu wahrer Größe führen, wenn man da zum Beispiel an den großartigen Sammelband "The wild Hunt" dachte. Eventuell kann man "Bones of the Giants" sogar als Prototypen für diese Geschichten betrachten. Kein schlechter Gedanke, während man die Geschichte weiter liest und nebenbei auch die von Mike Mignola selbst gezeichneten Illustrationen im Buch betrachtet.
Vier von fünf Hammerschlägen. Gut aber kein Kunstwerk, auch wenn es das hätte werden können.
