The Damned (The Animated Series!)

 

I thought that it was time that one of STF's earliest teams received their own cartoon show.  I'm guessing that this on might have a hard time getting past the network censors, though!  This is the Third appearance of The Damned on this blog - They were last seen facing Satan's retribution in STF #1890, and first appeared way back in STF #176...

The Damned in : "Satan's Retribution!"

I read with interest that Hellboy is getting a cinematic reboot.  I had kept reading about how the Gulllermo Del Toro-directed films didn't make enough to warrant a third film, so I was surprised by this development.  Ron Perlman really made the role his own, so David Harbour has big shoes (nd a right hand) to fill.  This new take will supposedly be a darker version of the character, so perhaps the new take will strike a stronger chord with audiences.

The Damned made their first appearance way back in STF #176...

The Damned

This cover originally was going to be Hellboy Vs. Fin Fang Foom, but I kept stumbling on more Mike Mignola images and I decided to make a complete team out of it.  This is a pretty powerful grouping so I imagine that there would have to be some pretty catastrophic events leading up to their assembling together...  and drama like that always makes for a fun comic.  I doubt that you would see this group hanging out with one another any longer than is necessary, so they would waste no time in getting right down to business. Each one has a curse of some sort upon them that they would like to lift, so that could add a personal stake for the members as well.
