I do wish they'd go back to giving us the arc names for the ongoings in the solits. It was much easier to keep track of Russia arc that BPRD #124 in my mind
The first arc of Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. is going to be called 1952.

November solits. BPRD, Balitmore, Abe trade and another Omnibus softcover. Unless I'm missing something, pretty low count for this month
Yeah, it's a light month.

I can't say the B.P.R.D. cover is bad at all, but it sure feels weird not having Mike do the trades....
I understand why he's relinquishing covers more, but it is a bit sad.
Agreed. I'm not against in accepting of him not doing covers (the Get the Lobster one is awesome), but that BPRD one isn't doing much for me at the moment. Maybe it'll grow on me
What really writing me out still is not seeing Mignola's name listed at all on the new Witchfinder. Usually even when he's taking a back seat to other he still gets a general plotting credit (though sometimes in interviews he will say he probably didn't earn it, so maybe this is just a way to give the others what he thinks they deserve?)
