Hellsing Volume 4 (Second Edition)

By Kohta Hirano

Book Overview

The manga that spawned the worldwide hit anime, Kohta Hirano's Hellsing returns in new editions with revised translations and new graphic design. Hellsing combines gothic horror, violent action, and dark humor into a catastrophic carnival of carnage!

Nazis sequestered for generations in South America have engineered an army of vampires in preparation for a war against the living. But the Protestant-helmed Hellsing Organization and the Iscariot Agency of the Catholic Church stand in their way. The rival factions' best hope against the armies of the undead is to join forces, but can the Holy Church ever align with a group that uses unholy creatures like Alucard, the mightiest vampire of all?

Customer Reviews

You'll need more than guns to stop this manga

The plot is just getting better and better!Great artwork and awsome gorey scences.It's every vampire fans' dream!There are more characters now but you get the feeling theyre not permanent. But God, this book is great.

Hirano just keeps getting better!

Hellsing is already a masterwork, (albeit one in progress,) and volume four, as with all of the other volumes of the manga that have come before, seems to be no different. Hirano has outdone himself yet again, and proven, also yet again, that his style, like a fine wine, only gets better with age. As with any manga series, I recommend you start with the first volume, (in order to maintain the story's general coherency and provide a more enjoyable experience overall,) but if you've already read through volume three, then this book is a definite must have! The artwork is excellent to say the least; Hirano's style has certainly come a long way since the previous three mangas! His work in Volume four is far more refined, and the storyline progresses in an adrenaline choked suspense ride jam-packed with the kind of gore and gothic crusaderism we've come to expect from Hirano. Again, a definite must have for any fan of Hellsing!

This book rocks!

This is in fact the best one by far (it is also one of the only ones that there is cussing in, despite Hellsing's outward, violent appearance). I am actually 15 years old, but due to complications I wound up in the 13 and under review department. So here I am to tell you of the wonders of Hellsing vol. 4 by Kouta Hirano. The series overall is excellent. The drawings are detailed and inky, almost every page has a smattering of blood but its something you come to expect in a tale of vampiric, Nazi mayhem. The characters in this series are excellent and well-portrayed, and the vampire Alucard is a character of many layers and shades; quite intriguing. The story is well-developed and the charcters help push it along. This is a must-read for all vampire fans out there, and I know there are plenty. But this is by far...no tale for the weak of heart...or...stomach for that matter.
