Mike Mignola posts to Twitter and to Facebook the news of something new. "So I am officially starting on my new comic. No idea when it will see the light of day but it's a brand new thing (not Hellboy related), the first part of a much (much) bigger thing, and I couldn't be more excited."

The tweet had plenty of responses from all manner of comic book creators and associated fellows…

Francesco Francavilla: Congrats my friend- can't wait for it whatever that is!
Friction Press: In case you need a reason to live a little bit longer….
Matthew Dow Smith: Can't wait, Mike! Whatever it turns out to be.
Chloe Green: Cannot WAIT to see it
Patrick Gleason: Intriguing!
Farel Dalrymple: You got me excited.
Marco Finnegan: Can't wait
Kevin Nowlan: Holy cow!! Congratulations, Mike!
Danny Gay-da-Lore-ian: It's really nice that you also still get hyped to write page 1 in the corner
John Kissee: Holy crap, couldn't be more excited either!

Mike Mignola is best known for creating Hellboy for Dark Horse Comics, after a long career at Marvel and DC Comics – including drawing the Rocket Raccoon series which has been adapted for the big screen for Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3. Hellboy is part of a shared universe of titles including B.P.R.D, Abe Sapien, Lobster Johnson, and more, as well as other tiles in other continuities such a Baltimore, Joe Golem, and The Amazing Screw-On Head. This appears however to be something a little bigger than one of those.

And it's not the Pinocchio project from Mike Mignola and Lemony Snicket from Beehive Books which saw 2,378 backers pledging $462,792 against a $50,000 goal. Odds are it will still come from Dark Horse Comics, however. Unless of course, we get a Frank Miller Presents situation sometime soon. Or maybe even from Beehive Books…
