Ron Perlman: New York City's Comic Con was the scene of gushing fan-gasms as the faithful flocked to see the stars of Hellboy II: The Golden Army. I'm talkin crowds, wrapped around like noodles, for a chance to see everyone's favorite ass kicking demon, sans the red make-up, and the rest of the original gangster BPRD crew. The panel was hilarious with monsters on stage and more cursing from Guillermo del Toro than I've ever seen at a public event.

I was lucky enough to get a few minutes with the cast before the panel. It was mayhem as well in the press room, but I did my best to keep the camera steady under the hot lights; for the even hotter Selma Blair, bad guy supreme Luke Goss, Doug 'Abe Sapien finally gets some lovin' Johnson, and the baddest mofo this side of hell, Ron 'Hellboy' Perlman.
