Ron Perlman really inhabits the character of Hellboy (note: I did not see the first movie).
Well, like I was saying, I have seen the first movie, and have been reading the comics for a decade, and I couldn't agree more. Perlman was born to play the big red lug. I couldn't be happier with the casting there.
scans_daily has also had a flurry of Hellboy/BPRD love recently to go along with the movie. I'd particularly recommend this bit from Plague of Frogs, wherein Abe finally learns some of the tragic backstory of his mysterious origins, and The Wolves of St. August, my absolute favorite stand-alone short Hellboy piece (well, not counting "Pancakes", of course.) That one little ghost really gets to me every time...

Also, PAMCAKES!
Little Hellboy is unholy world-destroying love.
