Pulp comics: Hellboy Universe through 2025

As a follow-up to my prior posting of Hellboy-related comics in 2025, this is what we will see through the rest of the year and early into 2026. The three miniseries are finished, with reprints of them in hardcover coming later this year.

Captain Henry and the Graveyard of TimeThe Serpent in the Garden: Ed Grey and the Last Battle for England brought to a close the story of Edward Gray. Frankenstein: New World – The Sea of Forever continues the story of Frankenstein and the young Lilja in the future after the world’s rebirth and the threat of Murk. We should see a continuation of this, hopefully with a third miniseries next year.

Shadow of the Golden Crane gave us a solo story of B.P.R.D. Agent Susan Xiang in 1963. We learned more about the Golden Crane Society, an ancient Chinese society that also fights supernatural evil, and its connection to her. I hope we get more with this character.

As I write this, we have got the two-part Hellboy in Love follow-on series, and the one-shot Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: Professor Harvey Is Gone came out. It was a fun little story.

Coming up are several miniseries in the coming months. We are getting Captain Henry and the Graveyard of Time, which will be a four-issue miniseries about a time traveler. Another Hellboy & the B.P.R.D. mini, this one the two-part The Ghost Ships of Labrador. And then a follow-up to the prior Miss Truesdale mini, about this Victorian woman who merged with a Hyperborean woman gladiator in Miss Truesdale and the Rise of Man, which will be another four-issue miniseries.

We will also be getting another hardcover graphic novel, with story and art by Mike Mignola, in his “Lands Unknown” setting with Uri Tupka and the Gods, which looks to be a single story rather than a collection of short stories.

Nothing has been spotted regarding the follow-up to the 2023 Giant Robot Hellboy miniseries, Giant Robot Hellboy Returns, which was never collected. So I’m not sure what’s up.

In addition to the hardback collections of the recent miniseries, I do see some upcoming trade paperback omnibus editions for series like Lobster Johnson, and the like.
