There’s a Weird Tales Omnibus that collects the two together

The two Short Story collections are already Omnibuses of multiple...
If you haven’t read them before chronological isn’t best. I’d go with something like this one

If you’ve read them...
They just resolicited the June issue. So I’d assume they are fairly confident about it coming out this time
It’ll be nice to see Hellboy and the BPRD get rolling again.
Seems like the info leaked and now they are rushing out official announcements. May not have been planning to do it quite yet
I think it’s relying a bit on the background from Hellboy in Hell which introduces Pluto as a fallen Watcher and gives more of his background. Kinda wonder if originally Hellboy was going to deal...
I mean sure straight from Dark Horse. I just looked it up on Amazon for that range
The cheapest and best way to go right now are the Hellboy Omnibuses. There’s 4 collecting the main story line. And another 2 Short Story ones. I think they run ~20-25 dollars apiece and each collects...
I’d imagine the Abe Sapien ones will come around. In paperback at least. The omnibuses are meant to stay in print. But unfortunately right now the schedule on that is hard to predict. As for Vampire...
Well Hellboy and the BPRD is still ongoing. Sword of Hyperborea starts next week. Koschei the Deathless in Hell is coming up next year. Acheron is a single issue must read if you haven’t
Yeah, I’m confused why they went with 4 over 5 or 6. Don’t want to drag out a story beyond what’s needed, but also when you know you’re adapting a lengthy work you don’t want to skimp it down too...
Baltimore comic can be read without reading the novel. The important plot stuff from the novel is recreated in the comic. Though you’ll be missing a little bit of fun character background. But the...
Feeling like I need to go back and reread all of Hellboy in Hell immediately and watch it all connect
Ahhhhh, good call. I saw them in the background but didn’t put it all together. Seems pretty awesome
I thought that critter looks like the beast from the first Witchfinder story. And I’m pretty sure they initially find that sword near his remains.
Edit: on closer inspection he looks more bat...
The whole universe is great. But I think the next best stepping stone is BPRD Plague of Frogs. That series spins off right after Conqueror Worm and follows the other agents after Hellboy leaves. It...
It’s intentional, but I think the exact meaning of it is left open to interpretation.
Of those highlighted ones all are pretty good, just very different. Lobster Johnson is a very pulpy 1930s feel. Where Witchfinder is a Victorian occult detective. But I really really like both
I’d...
Yep, discord is probably it. Not always super active, but if you start a discussion people will show
You’ll want to read Darkness Calls/The Wild Hunt/The Storm and The Fury. They form a trilogy that’s filled with major Hellboy events. I won’t ruin the surprises for you
Koshchei never gets his eye. But he is sent after it in Darkness Calls
I should be in the Abe Sapien: The Drowning and Other Stories Omnibus
I don't have the whole thing sitting here, but these are all puppets

This is a very useful reading order that shows the whole universe
