Hellsing, Vol. 03
I really don't want to bring the rating for this series down. I'm reading these volumes at the request of a friend, and they are, I suspect quite good for Manga. I'm not really much of a Manga reader. What I find fascinating about the series is the way religion is tied so effortlessly into the plot. Alucard is no doubt the coolest of the vampires. There's quite a bit of theological stuff to chew on here as well. I'm not usually shy about expressing my opinion, but I really don't have much to compare this with. As a kid I read comic books like everyone else did, but apart from a stint reading all the Calvin and Hobbes books, and Gary Larson's The Far Side, I've gone pretty much textual.Kohta Hirano is talented both as an artist and as a story-teller. Probably it's my age, but I'm not sure I'm following the story correctly, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. A fine way to pass a rainy afternoon.
