Final Volume!
One of the best things about Kohta Hirano's sexy apocalypse of warring vampires, Nazis,
Catholics, werewolves, and Australian mercenaries is that all the way up to, and possibly through,
this final volume, we don't know who's going to win. The streets of London are awash in blood, a
zeppelin descends a la Hindenburg, and six of our favorite characters are locked in face-off fights.
It's possible that no one will come away from this crescendo "alive." Of course, we're not sure
who's alive or undead at this point. But what's most certain is that London needs babies, because
there isn't a civilian soul left alive in this battle to the undeath. Alas, Hellsing, we knew you well.
About Author:
Kohta Hirano ( Hirano Kta) is a Japanese mangaka most famous for his manga Hellsing. Starting
his career first as a mangaka's assistant (self-described as "horrible" and "lazy" in said assistant
position), and later an H manga artist, he went on to enjoy somewhat limited success with other
relatively unknown manga titles such as Angel Dust, Coyote, Gun Mania and Hi-Tension. His first
major success came with his manga series Hellsing, which got its start and was subsequently
serialized in a monthly manga magazine, Young King OURs, towards the latter half of 1997.
