No, it's not. The
[spoil]Acheron one-shot[/spoil]
and also
[spoil]the ending of Sword of Hyperborea[/spoil]
as well as the already announced but not yet released
[spoil]Koschei the Deathless in Hell[/spoil]
are all post-Ragna.
I for one am absolutely delighted that the story is continuing. Even if these stories all turn out to be, with the benefit of hindsight, minor epilogues to the saga rather than the beginning of a new "phase" of the larger story, nonetheless for now at least they have rekindled my excitement about the Hellboy Universe.

ohhh, I gotta check those out!
Thanks for the info, I'm looking forward to this post Ragna world
I wonder if they will they give us a sum up of Frankenstein Underground in this?
I think I'm going to need more time to develop a feeling for this. I really loved where the Frankenstein Undone was going, I loved that it felt like a sequel to the original novel and while I understand needing to shelve that story to choke Allie off from pay not getting that story made this story feel a little less in my eyes.
As an aside, I had originally forgotten what the previous Frankenstein title was called and when I went to look for it I came across the Scott Allie page on the Hellboy wiki and it starts with, "Scott Allie is a sexual predator." and I have to say that I love that.
A good start. We get a good taste of post ragnarok world and what it's like for the remains of humanity. I preferred the pages above ground await to see where this is going. And [spoil]the fate of poor Howards and the return of the Sword[/spoil]

Issue #2 was more interesting. Seeing who I assume are the spawn of Abe and the threat they will face from Murk. The New World has a nice Guy Davis vibe.

The art is definitely beautiful, and I love the casual exploration of the new world. I think my favorite elements were the carnivorous plant creatures that reminded me of the Plant Men from John Carter.
Different tribes of Frogmen is a great idea, and they would worship different Ogdru Hem/Ogdru Jahad is pretty neat.
Well, that was not the end. It's a good series with art half way between Mignola and Davis. I hope we don't have to wait too long for the continuation of this.

Yeah, it definitely felt like more of a mid point than an end.
