Hellsing Manga Volume 3
Story
Clues to the origins of the undead army sent to annihilate Hellsing point to enemies believed to be long dead. Alucard and Police Girl, along with the mercenaries hired to fill out the Hellsing Organization’s decimated ranks, are sent on an important mission. The destination is Argentina and the mission objective is search and destroy.
My Opinion
Hellsing has some pretty cool twists and turns to the story. Volume 3 of the manga lived up to my high, and increasing, expectations. It dropped a few hints of the past and gave a good idea where the story is going. It looks like Hellsing is in for an all out war.
I really hope that future volumes will fill in some of the background a bit more. It really should, considering the enemy that they’re facing is one they thought was long buried. I’d really love to see Walter in action as a younger man. I get the feeling that he is almost as frightening in his own way as Alucard.
Kohta Hirano’s art is a good as always. It’s dramatic, stylish and almost painfully cool. There are a few images of Alucard that I particularly enjoyed in this volume.
A Note for Parents…
According to the back of the manga, Dark Horse recommends Hellsing for ages 13+ due to violence and language. I might even go a bit higher than that. It is a horror story after all, so there are some horrific elements. Check out the manga that you’re kids read, because they’re not all for kids.
Is it worth it?
Hellsing Volume 3 is worth it. I’ve been hooked. It’s an amazing manga. I’m not reading them to review, I’m reviewing them because I have to read ‘em.
