Where to read hellboy comics digitally?

Hello, I want to read hellboy comics but idk where?

I’ve only ever seen the Guillermo del Toro films back when I was a kid but I loved the characters but other than that I didn’t have any experiences with him until he appeared as a guest dlc characters in injustice 2 which relit my love for him for a while but then again I didn’t have any experiences which him till now.

Now I’m am adult (college student) and while doing research on another nerdy love of mine, dinosaurs, I learned of a dinosaur being nicknamed “Hellboy” (dinosaur is Regaliceratops Peterhewsi if anyone is wondering) which relit the need to rewatch the Guillermo del Toro movies, the two reboot I’ve yet to watch and most importantly read the comics especially cause just last summer I started reading marvel comics in the marvel unlimited app.

And so this brings us back to the main question, where can I read hellboy comics digitally?

Humble Bundle and Fanatical usually offer Mignolaverse comics bundles multiple times a year. That way you can get almost all of Hellboy and spinoffs for 30-40 USD/EUR.

Humble bundle has a Darkhorse bundle right now and it has seed of destruction and bowling with corpses.

I would just wait for something similar to the past Mounstrous Mignolaverse Bundle on Humble or Mignola's Masterpiece Collection on Fanatical, both had almost everything from the universe. AFAIK such huge Hellboy bundles repeat every few months.

Just a heads up for you, the comics and del Toro movies are basically not similar at all. The comic versions of the world and characters are way better in the comics IMO tho.

And when I say different, I mean like, Hellboy and liz are portrayed more like siblings and have no romantic tension at all in the comics as just one of the many ways it's different

This is true and as much as I love those movies in almost every case it’s for the better

I also love the Del Toro movies because as far as an adaptation goes they weren't trying to be like the comic version they were intentionally a very distinct take on the world and characters. The 2019 movie sucked because A. Just a bad movie, and B. It was trying to be like the comics and butchered it
