How Hellboy: Web of Wyrd Honors the Comic’s Legacy and Mignola’s Artwork

The recently released Hellboy: Web of Wyrd is the newest game from West of Dead developer Upstream Arcade and the first attempt at a video game featuring one of comics’ most-beloved characters since Hellboy: The Science of Evil, a sixth-generation tie-in game with Guillermo Del Toro’s second Hellboy film. With the benefit of modern hardware and an appreciation for the source material, Hellboy: Web of Wyrd accurately depicts the iconic and recognizable art style of Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. Outside mimicking the art of the comics, though, the game also aims to match the narrative tone and mood of the legendary series.
