Mike Mignola is returning to full writing duties with three new five-issue “Hellboy” miniseries alongside a slew of creative teams, as revealed by Dark Horse in an interview earlier today. Check out the details below.
With Comic-Con International: San Diego looming, Dark Horse has announced three new Mignola-verse titles and these are unique in one very special way: Mike himself is returning to full writing duties with three sets of collaborators. “Rasputin: The Voice of the Dragon” (Mike Mignola, Chris Roberson, Christopher Mitten, Dave Stewart, Mike Huddleston), “Koshchei the Deathless” (Mike Mignola, Ben Stenbeck, Dave Stewart), and “Hellboy: Krampusnacht” (Mike Mignola, Adam Hughes) will see Mignola take a truly active writing role for the first time since the last issue of Hellboy in Hell in 2016. “It’s been a lot of work,” said Mike. “I really have a full time job again, what with drawing covers as well as writing plots and scripts for these books.”
Mignola’s interview also touched on the Mignolaverse being a primer for the trade paperback model of comics we enjoy now and the perfect world for “trade-waiters,” as well as some more bits on the upcoming reboot of the Hellboy movie franchise. If you haven’t noticed we are huge fans of the Mignolaverse on the site, and have a ton of articles dedicated to the universe, including an updated reading order for 2017 for the entire universe.
No release dates were announced for the miniseries, but more information is sure to follow next week as San Diego Comic-Con takes over. In the meantime check out covers for the first issues of all the new series below:
