Wasting no time, we dove right in on the B.P.R.D, Hellboy and Abe Sapien Scott shared with us his thoughts about the wonderful Mignolaverse and we were all ears!  We  chatted about his work with Joss Whedon and how Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 set the bar high Also we found out who Scott's[...]

Earlier today, we featured the astonishingly wide-ranging interview that Mike Mignola took part in for us here at Bleeding Cool, and in that interview he speaks a lot about the role of the new mini-series, Hellboy and the BPRD to return to "classic" Hellboy tales where there is always room for humor, filling in part[...]

New series Goners is, coming out in October.   And this is what it's all about. A world famous family of paranormal detectives are systematically hunted by the very horrors they investigate. It's The Goonies meets Hellboy, as the Latimer Family–a centuries old familial line of paranormal hunters–find themselves at the bottom of the supernatural food chain. Endlessly pursued and with[...]

But for me the book is a change in the way I see Abe because he's pitted against the effects of the burgeoning apocalypse in the Hellboy Universe, and rather than battling monsters on a gigantic scale this time around, he's dealing with the broken humanity that's being pushed aside like so much flotsam in[...]

Moving on, on the subject of identity, I often thought that Enigma's own identity is only brought into proper being by Michael and Michael's obsession with him. DD: It seems that Michael's personal battle with his own identity is more the focal point of the story rather than The Enigma's mysterious secret origin.  Why did you[...]

Dark Horse are publishing Itty Bitty Hellboy by the Aw Yeah guys fairly soon But this might indicate there are more to come.

Hannah Means-Shannon, our senior New York Correspondent, writes; Lobster Johnson's life and death, and pulp-hero existence within the Hellboy universe, is partly a matter of interpretation based on the intricacies of his own chronology During the events of "A Scent of Lotus", set in the winter of 1933, Johnson is operating as "alive", and for[...]

Half Cthulu Mythos and half 70s cult horror, the first issue has the same feel you'd get from the early days of Hellboy.
