There's just not enough Aliens & Prometheus comics to read so I gotta branch out..I'm really just into Space Horror but unique scary supernatural,  good sci-fi set in space or alien invasions are great too. Thinking of trying Hellboy and The Witcher, but where to start?

Start with Hellboy Seed of Destruction. Right at the very beginning. There is a continuous arc throughout the entire Hellboy catalogue. Seed is the best place to start.

It's more gothic Lovecraft style horror. Mignola draws heavily on Lovecraft and folklore throughout most of Hellboy.

Great. Do you also read The Witchfinder?

I was actually talking about The Witcher. The Witchfinder looks good too.

I rarely find any comic scary to be honest but it was creepy and fitted in nicely in the Mignola verse.

But if you want the individual trade paperbacks -

Got pretty much every Hellboy trade in existence (bar the last Mexico one as I have them as single issues) - need to update my BPRD collection though.

Thanks for the links. Don't like mixing oversized versions or especially undersized like most Omnibus. Those TPB's look good, I'll start with Seed.

Just want to recommend you guys a cool space based sci fi comic series since you all like aliens..They're also making a TV series out of it.

Yeah you really get your money's worth with Hellboy trades. There are almost always forewords, afterwards, sketchbook selections, etc.
