Hellboy: The Bones of Giants ~ Details
So what is Hellboy: The Bones of Giants about? Well, in this comic book and novel, Hellboy basically becomes Thor. Yes, really. With the whole Mjolnir thing and all. If you’re a fan of Norse mythology, this might be the comic for you. Dark Horse Comics has an official synopsis here:
In Hellboy: The Bones of Giants, lightning strikes from a clear sky on a frozen riverbank in Sweden. The skeleton of a huge man is revealed, his fingers clutched around the handle of an iron hammer. No one who comes to see this marvel from Norse mythology can move it. No one, that is, but Hellboy, who lifts the hammer just in time for lightning to strike again, welding it to his hand and leading him toward a bizarre series of visions and encounters. What ensues is a wild adventure full of Norse legends, mythical creatures, and a threat that could bring not just Earth, but the Nine Realms of Norse mythology to their knees.
