Hellboy Monster

They look like typical beasts, but they have personalities, and they read like the type of guys you are friends with or the friends you have a drink with at a bar. Monster is shown in a family of friends who want him apart of the Christmas dinner, and friend (and possible romantic interest?) He is shown to be desirable as company and as a friend, and its because of these interactions that he comes across as a completely likable and a capable and strong hero. No one in the comic ever refers to him as a “monster” or “beast”, and no one really points out how different he is, other than they fact that he is extremely strong. It was refreshing to see that he was just another character (albeit superhumanly strong, and a capable officer of the law) and not a beast that his friends saw as extremely different then him.
