Kohta Hirano's Hellsing returns in a new edition with revised translation and new graphic design. The manga that spawned the worldwide hit anime, Hellsing blends gothic horror, violent action, and dark humor in a bloody brew that has fired the imagination of otaku everywhere! Beneath the surface of the ordinary world is a maelstrom of bloodthirsty monsters and hidden political intrigues, and at the heart of the storm is the Hellsing Organization, an ancient order sworn to combat the forces of Hell. And Hellsing bring to the fight the mighty vampire lord Alucard, whose terrifying powers are needed more than ever against an army of the undead that march below the banner of the swastika!
I enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to complete the collection. For anyone who likes vampires this is a must have series.

I like the hellsing series, but when I red the manga after watching the anime I was more impressed by the manga. A lot more happends in the manga and I like the personalities better as well.
Hellsing - a winner

HEllsing was the first anime video that I saw, it was the gateway to my anime viewing experience. Once I finished the series on DVD I was looking around for a "season 2" when I found out that there series was based on comic books. I went to a store and bought vol 1 and read through it really fast. It draws you in and entertains you, and keeps you in suspence with its great illustrations and dialog. The irish and germans in the story are noticed as their accents just jump of the page at you. COnsequently I bought vol 2 + 3 and I am eagerly waiting for volumes 4, 5,6 and however more there might be in the worksIf you are new to manga comics this might be a bit of a learning curve (as it was for me) but I did not mind as I was quite entertained.Kudos to the author and the team that brought it to us in english!
