And it's not even a case of all the Mignola titles having the same amount of delays. At least one (HELLBOY AND THE B.P.R.D.: 1957--FEARFUL SYMMETRY) was previously said to be partly due to health issues, but I don't know the reasons for others having longer delays than some.
It's not just a paper shortage. There are literally problems at every stage of the process at the moment, all stemming from or exacerbated by the pandemic. On top of that, all these issues create extra work for editorial, while still being expected to hit the same deadlines. It's really quite crappy to complain while people are struggling.
I'm not shaming anyone behind the scenes, but there are a lot of delays on the Mignola books lately; that's just a fact and as said earlier it is a little puzzling because other books and publishers don't seem to be being affected to this degree anymore.
Last spring and summer? Yeah, it was happening to pretty much every book and every publisher to some extent but this year it's hardly been seen anywhere out side of Dark Horse.

Marvel and DC are no comparison. To a certain extent, they can jump the queue for printing, something smaller publishers can't afford to do. There are a lot of Mignola books, but it still rests on a relatively small team, and when illness hits one person, there's a domino effect. The pandemic hits not just every publisher, but every project differently. And, unfortunately, there will be more delays to come.

The conclusion finally arrived and although the resolution felt more than a little rushed(what kind of cult actually gets thwarted by reason?) all in all this was a fun book.

I had the same thought. The last 6 years in this country showed us that if people are delusional, no amount of facts or reason will persuade them.
That said, I liked the conclusion, we knew it was some sort of Wicker Man thing, but the whole aliens fighting what I assume were the Ogdru Jahad was a good touch.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
