Hellsing: Vol. 7 by Kohta Hirano

CAUTION! SPOILERS FOR PREVIOUS BOOKS CONTAINED IN THIS REVIEW!

At Hellsing HQ the battle against the invading vampires is not going well. Pip, Seras and a handful of mercenaries are attempting to hold off the entire invading force, with little success. When the Nazi's play their trump card, a woman with the ability to make humans see whatever horrors she wants them to, the fight turns tragic for a couple people.

This volume started terribly, with dull action scenes, but improved when Zorin started using her mental attacks. It is quite fascinating to have a look at what these characters fear most, and gives us a little character development (a thing sorely lacking in this series.) Sadly, it didn't last, and then it was back to boring, crowded action scenes I usually just skim. The art is still heavy, and rough at spots, but improved a bit in this volume.

3 Stars
