    No, it's not. The

    spoilers:
    Acheron one-shot
    end of spoilers

    and also

    spoilers:
    the ending of Sword of Hyperborea
    end of spoilers

    as well as the already announced but not yet released

    spoilers:
    Koschei the Deathless in Hell
    end of spoilers

    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.

    I wonder if they will they give us a sum up of Frankenstein Underground in this?
    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!

    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 spoilers:
    the fate of poor Howards and the return of the Sword
    end of spoilers

    That spoiler tagged scene was fantastic, and truly a great tribute to him.

    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.
