2019 is nearly over, so I bet you’re wondering what’s ahead in Mike Mignola’s books for 2020. Well, Multiversity Comics has you covered. From Dark Horse Comics, we’ve got the March 2020 solicitations featuring covers from Ben Stenbeck, Christopher Mitten, Zack Howard, and Steve Purcell. Check ’em out below.

HELLBOY AND THE B.P.R.D.:
THE RETURN OF EFFIE KOLB #2
(of 2)

Written by Mike Mignola
Illustrated by Zach Howard
Colored by Dave Stewart
Lettered by Clem Robins

FC, 32 pages
$3.99
Miniseries

Following Hellboy’s strange encounter with the new residents of the Crooked Man’s home, a young spiritual sensitive still feels that something bad is going on in the old Virginia mansion. . . and she’s right.

Prepare for monsters and mayhem in the second half of Mike Mignola’s return to the story of “The Crooked Man,” with artist Zach Howard and colorist Dave Stewart!

Mark: This may be Zach Howard’s first “Hellboy” story, but he’s had some experience with this world before. He previously worked on the Hellboy Sourcebook and Roleplaying Game from Steve Jackson Games.

SIR EDWARD GREY
WITCHFINDER: THE REIGN OF DARKNESS #5
(of 5)

Written by Mike Mignola and Chris Roberson
Illustrated by Christopher Mitten
Colored by Michelle Madsen
Lettered by Clem Robins

On sale Mar 25
FC, 32 pages
$3.99
Miniseries

Sir Edward Grey and Sarah Jewell prepare to face one of the darkest entities that either of them has ever encountered! Believing the killer has finally overplayed their hand, Grey may still be in for a surprise when he tries to take them down. Witness the unexpected finale of the latest Witchfinder story from Mike Mignola and Chris Roberson, with art by Christopher Mitten and colors by Michelle Madsen!

Mark: I remember, back when I read “Rise of the Black Flame,” being overwhelmed by the way Christopher Mitten drew Hecate as a sort-of cosmic deity, so the cover on this one has me really damn excited for the final issue of ‘The Reign of Darkness.’

FRANKENSTEIN UNDONE #3 (of 5)


Variant cover by Steve Purcell

Written by Mike Mignola and Scott Allie
Illustrated by Ben Stenbeck
Colored by Brennan Wagner
Lettered by Clem Robins

On sale Mar 25
FC, 32 pages
$3.99
Miniseries

Pursuing his humanity in the unlikely company of arctic adventurers, the “monster” Frankenstein unwittingly becomes the pawn of an ancient cult! Meanwhile, unbeknownst to him, he’s been recognized as Viktor Frankenstein’s creation by a powerful local man whose influence might see him arrested. . . or worse!

Mark: Ancient cult? Arctic adventurers? I can’t help but wonder if this story might end up taking on a Lovecraft-esque dimension, especially considering the Frankenstein monster is so close to the final resting place of the Hyperborean city capital, Gorinium.
