In response to fervent pleas from fans worldwide, the official website for HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY recently released artwork that will soon be displayed on theater promotional posters across the country.

The first release was a picture of Selma Blair as pyrokinetic hottie Liz Sherman, the second, a shot of Doug Jones as merman Abe Sapien, and the third, a shot of “big red” himself. While Academy Award-nominated director Guillermo Del Toro is known for his impeccable makeup and special effects (especially for mythical or supernatural characters,) these latest shots prove the famed Mexican auteur is only getting better with time. You can almost feel the scales on Abe’s skin.

In enjoyed the original HELLBOY, so this sequel, with its impeccable cast and visionary director, should be pretty cool. Take a gander at the pics and rant back to let us know if HELLBOY II is lighting a fire under your bum-bum yet.
