Via Rolling Stone magazine, Dark Horse Comics have announced “Sir Edward Grey: Acheron,” a new one-shot written and illustrated by Mike Mignola. The comic picks up with the undead Witchfinder after the events of 2019’s “B.P.R.D: The Devil You Know,” which saw Ragna Rok — the destruction and rebirth of the world — unfold, and the deaths of many longtime characters, including Hellboy himself. It will mark Mignola’s full-length comic book since the end of “Hellboy in Hell” in 2016, and will reunite him with colorist Dave Stewart and letterer Clem Robins.
In a statement, Mignola explained, “Even after Hellboy was finished with Hell, I knew I wasn’t. I’d relocated two of my favorite characters there — Edward Grey and Koshchei the Deathless. I figured the two of them were bound to run into each other (and they will), but first I had an unfinished bit of business for Ed to take care of on his own. It was a real pleasure to dive back into that world, and I look forward to getting back there again before too long.”
For more from Mignola, head to Rolling Stone‘s Twitch channel soon later today at 5pm EST. Head to Rolling Stone‘s announcement in the meantime as well, to check out the variant cover by Ben Stenbeck.
