Hellsing: Volume 6

by Kohta Hirano, 191 pages

Millennium is cutting a bloody swath through England's metropolitan centers, leaving a trail of wanton destruction and newly minted zombies in its wake. Having smelled death on the wind, Alucard is on his way, but magically-propelled aircraft carriers with surveillance planes intentionally flown nose-first into their decks aren't the fastest mode of transportation. In the meantime, Integra will have to rely on the dubious assistance of Iscariot's Father Anderson while Police Girl and Hellsing's remaining recruits fend off illusion-wielding invaders with her high-powered, custom weaponry and Alucard's recalled advice.

Dude, the first fifteen pages are nothing but heavily-inked, gruesome images of Millennium's attack on the London populace accompanied by the lyrics to some anthem of evil called "Devil Stockings." *gah* I was much happier once I got to Integra chomping on her cigar, looking bored, and talking trash to the slightly confused uniformed vampires trying to take her into custody. That, and Police Girl stubbornly shouldering a rocket launcher-looking gun about three times bigger than she is and blowing Millennium's dirigible-of-doom right out of the sky.
