Mike Mignola's Horse Power

[middenway]

This November Mike Mignola has written the Horse Power column found in the back of all November issues of Dark Horse comics. Check it out. He talks about his plans for Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. (they're big), and even hints at an upcoming project, not set in the Baltimore universe, nor the Hellboy universe either...

That's great and everything, but when he is going to sit down and finally get out the next issues of Hellboy in Hell

It's in the works. It's a two-parter, so the wait is going to be a little longer.

It'll be out when it's ready. It'll be worth waiting for.

Any good details to sum up? Being mostly a trade waiter slows me from the regular flow of things.

The main thing was Mike Mignola saying Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. is a series of miniseries, and every 5 or 6 issues will be one year. He wants to keep going forward until 1993. So, you know, 41 trades*. Obviously that's not actually going to happen, but the real message is Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. is here to stay and everyone involved is enthusiastic for more.

* Hellboy left the Bureau for two years from 1979 to 1981, so I guess 1980 could hardly be a Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. story. It would be a good place to adapt all the backstory from Christopher Golden's novels Hellboy: The Lost Army and Hellboy: The Dragon Pool though.

That's a lot of trades. Better buy a new shelf.

Sounds pretty awesome though. And it could be nice to touch on some of the Anastasia stuff, though it'll be some time

Oh man, that sounds amazing. Best news ever!

You know how they met in a pub with those trolls? I want to see that adapted into a short comic called "Two Trolls Walk into a Pub..."

Can anyone scan or take a photo of this page? Unfortunetly, there is nothing like this in digital versions.
Thanks in advance!

[Joker]

Agreed. Anyone able to recap?

[Kees_L]

I can say that for me it seems pretty much like a badge of honor how on their own the Horsepower editorial both as the letter section form a reason to be buying the single issues.

As much as the sketchbook sections and hindsight comments in the TPB or hardcover collections strike me as a full blooded bonus on top of things, not to mention any epilogues.

[Joker]

Thanks for the recap...

Thanks for the recap...

I only got to read it briefly and I don't have a copy. What I remembered I already posted, but if I come across it again, I'll try to fill in some blanks.
