“The curtain rises on the final act of the apocalyptic war between vampires, werewolves, fanatics, and mercenaries. Amidst the grisly wreckage that is now London, the champions of light and darkness face off in a final showdown that will determine the humanity’s future . . . or its downfall!”
Series Info/Source: This is the third (and final) volume in the Hellsing Deluxe series. I got this as a gift for my birthday.
Thoughts: If you are a fan of the Hellsing series, the deluxe editions are a must and a great way to keep this manga series for re-reading. The original, larger format of these is a joy. I love the leather bound cover and the marking ribbon as well.
This collects the final portion of the Hellsing story, which happens to be my favorite. We finally get to the meat of the Vlad mythos here, as well as some other Christian myths. There is a ton of battle and lots of epic, awesome, action.
This also includes a bonus story and alternate covers, etc at the end.
My Summary (5/5): Overall this is another amazing deluxe edition in the Hellsing series. I love this uber-violent manga series and in particular enjoy these last storylines because of all the myths/lore they incorporate. Recommended if you are a Hellsing fan or a great way to experience this series for the first time too!
