Sir Edward Grey returns for another creepy Victorian adventure in Witchfinder: City of the Dead, kicking off the fourth miniseries starring the 18th Century paranormal investigator.

Along with artist Ben Stenbeck, who worked with Mignola previously on Baltimore, the series will be called Frankenstein Underground, and will be set in the same universe as Hellboy and BPRD.

On sale now is Baltimore: The Plague Ships, the first volume of a new graphic novel series by Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy, one of the greatest comic book fantasy/adventure heros ever. Co-written with novelist Christopher Golden (Bloodstained Oz) and illustrated by Ben Stenbeck, Baltimore chronicles the dark travels of Lord Henry Baltimore, a soldier of World War I whose obsessive mission is t

The First World War was often referred to, during the time of the war and its immediate aftermath, as "The Great War." Obviously it didn't take on the title of World War I until there was also a World War II. As an interesting side note, this is nearly the exact opposite of how naming conventions became applied to the Star Wars films, as it did not become necessary to refer to New Hope

Press Release Mike Richardson, tongue in cheek, delivers a grisly, hilarious tale that rivals The Mask with its pop-culture references and blatant absurdity. Straw and Whip are buddies who have somehow managed to live through a plague that's left the world with seven billion brain-hungry zombies in its wake ...
