Mr. Arcudi leaving hasn't been raising questions with me all that much. Like I feel no problems with accepting he'll have been bringing to the table whatever he could with any possible resolve or ringing through evermore, since that's what writing can do, even with him leaving at a certain point.
And the planning I feel to get also. Like mr Mike explaining how he felt the story matter coming to a point where he should decide to be going to 'the endgame' before to himself all else would feel like lingering.
And I think that as a reader I should just sit back and enjoy it all. Although the thought of knowing in advance that Hellboy has only two more stops to make, seems to make it harder for me to oversee B.P.R.D. or Abe and such current titles as laying out whatever more plot points, with apparently "the Endgame" as proving upon it all so impendingly.
Or like an Ashley Strode story starting with Hellboy already done - that would be weirding me out.
I mean to see Hellboy sort of falling away as a title amid the rest seems like a first really and sudden at that.
But if that's what I as a reader will have to be coming to terms with then I'm just gonna have to I guess. I've always liked how straight up or non-repetitive Mignola's writing seems, so I shouldn't fuss over it now an ending would appear in sight. So yeah.
