Comics Legend Mike Mignola is reuniting with longtime collaborator Chris Roberson and Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: From Below artist Mike Norton for an all-new five-issue series, B.P.R.D.: Declassified. The new series will send fan-favorite Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense agents Susan Xiang and Victor Koestler on a top-secret mission to Honolulu, Hawaii. Written by Mignola and Roberson with art by Norton, and colors by Dave Stewart, B.P.R.D.: Declassified #1 will feature a main cover by Norton and a variant cover by Gabriel Hardman. Subsequent issues will feature variants from Christopher Mitten, Craig Rousseau, Michael Avon Oeming, and more! 

Fans last saw the psychic B.P.R.D. agent Susan Xiang in 2025’s The Shadow of the Golden Crane by Chris Roberson and Michael Avon Oeming, where she investigated her family’s connection to the mysterious Golden Crane Society. Now, she’s teaming up with astral projecting B.P.R.D agent Victor Koestler for an otherworldly missing person investigation.

Henry Rouch was overseas working on a classified government project before he mysteriously vanished. The supernatural circumstances surrounding his disappearance means the B.P.R.D. has been called in to investigate, but the agents soon discover that there’s much more to this case than meets the eye.

B.P.R.D.: Declassified #1 is due out on February 17, 2027.

Si Spurrier and Christopher Mitten Reimagine King Arthur in Rampant Swine

Posted on by

Behind every legend is a true story, and it’s often much bloodier than imagined. Ignition Press has announced Rampant Swine, a savage and subversive reimagining of an Arthurian legend in the tradition of Conan the Barbarian from Si Spurrier and Christopher Mitten.

In a Britain forged in blood, mud, magic, and monsters, the legendary King Arthur is a brutal warlord surrounded by his knights who are every bit as savage, strange, and legendary as the world they inhabit. 

When the young knight Culhwch arrives at Arthur’s fortress pleading for help in completing 39 impossible tasks assigned him by the giant Ysbaddaden to win the hand of his beautiful daughter Olwen, he and Arthur’s warriors embark on an incredible quest of giant slaying, monstrous boar hunting, and magical treasure theft, as they battle their way through a dying age of myth.

But beneath the bloodshed and barbarism, something isn’t right. Because every great legend has a story beneath the story—and King Arthur was never meant to be this kind of hero.

Rampant Swine #1 will be available in comic shops November 25th, 2026 from co-creators Si Spurrier and Christopher Mitten, with colors by Brennan Wagner and letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. This issue features two open-to-order covers from series artist Mitten and Joëlle Jones, along with a 1-in-10 retailer incentive by comics legend Mike Mignola.
