Hellsing: Volume 3

by Kohta Hirano, 191 pages

Integra sends Alucard, Police Girl, and a contingent of new Hellsing recruits off to South America to start tracking down the evil Millennium group. But the bad guys are eagerly awaiting their arrival and set in motion a bloody game to test their opponents. Meanwhile, Iscariot is up to its own shadowy doings.

Goodness, there's a lot of collateral damage to the local police force in this volume. And it isn't pretty. Let's just say that Alucard appears to make a little homage to his historical namesake (or himself--we're still not sure) from Transylvania...one that involves spikes. *shudder* Despite the violence (and there is an awful lot of it), there's still the barest hint of moral ambiguity, as even Alucard pauses--however briefly--to question his methods. But when Integra considers their true enemy, she gives the order--and Alucard won't question her.
