Major Spoilers Poll of the Week\\n
Last week, DC Comics kicked off Villains Month and the Forever Evil event with a series of lenticular covers. Obviously it\\u2019s a marketing gimmick that ups the cover price, shines the spotlight on the company, and hopefully gets the reader to pick up the book and buy it. But are you impressed with results?\\n

Hellboy Volume 03: The Chained Coffin and Others (Hellboy Library Volume 2)\\n
Mike Mignola\'s story notes accompany the long out-of-print stories, giving insight into their creation and inspiration. Some consider Mignola\'s short stories better than the full-length novels, and this collection makes a strong argument for that, especially with Mignola\'s masterpiece, "The Corpse."
