Mike Mignola and Jesse Lonergan are launching a brand new Hellboy Universe comedian guide sequence for Might from Darkish Horse Comics, Miss Truesdale And The Fall Of Hyperborea, described as a time travelling supernatural horror title.

“I fell in love with Jesse’s stuff the second I stumbled throughout it, however it took a very long time for me to wrap my head round a approach we may work collectively,” mentioned author Mike Mignola. “His storytelling is so nice however amazingly distinctive and I am such a management freak on the subject of tempo a narrative—I did not need to tie his palms with the best way I construction issues. However he’s simply so good… Ultimately I got here up with the thought for Miss Truesdale (an odd one, even for me) and simply could not consider anybody higher to attract it. We met, we talked, and I believe we settled on a approach to collaborate. It meant writing a plot that was tight in some locations and really, very free in others. I needed to belief Jesse to work his magic—and for me it is onerous to essentially belief an artist I’ve by no means labored with, even one nearly as good as Jesse—however I did it and he did what he does and I could not be happier with the outcomes. I believe this finally ends up being probably the most distinctive extensions of the Hellboy Universe, and after nearly thirty years (and a few very odd tales) that is saying one thing.”

On this 4 difficulty mini-series, one of many final followers of a failing Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra, the unassuming Miss Truesdale, finds herself on the receiving finish of Brotherhood chief Tefnut Trionus’s closing imaginative and prescient. Connecting her life in Victorian London to a younger gladiator in historic Hyperborea, Truesdale discovers she now has the prospect to alter the long run by altering the bygone previous.

“When Mike requested me if I might be interested by doing one thing within the Hellboy universe, it felt slightly bit like a dream,” mentioned artist Jesse Lonergan. “He is one of many artists whose work I revisit essentially the most, and there have been occasions once I’ve been engaged on one thing and requested myself, ‘How would Mignola do that?’ After which to get to do a narrative that introduces a brand new character, expands the lore, and has gladiators, Victorian spiritualists, and lizard folks—it is simply been a lot enjoyable.”
