Giant Robot Hellboy Returns #1

Dark Horse Books presents the MPH Library Edition

Posted on by

Mark Millar and Duncan Fegredo’s high-octane adventure comic series will be collected in the MPH Library Edition, arriving in September 2026 from Dark Horse Books. This hardcover edition collects all five issues of the action-packed series written by Millar, illustrated by Duncan Fegredo, and colored and lettered by Pete Doherty, with coloring assistance by Mike Spicer on issues #2 and #5.  

Growing up in Detroit, Roscoe and his friends know all about hard luck. But their fates take a different turn when they stumble upon a street drug called MPH—little pills that give them the power of super-speed and the opportunity of a lifetime.

Now holding the perfect Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card, Roscoe leads Rosa, Chevy, and Baseball on a lightning-fast crime spree across the nation. But that’s not enough. As a good guy dealt a tough hand, Roscoe isn’t just taking the fat cats for all they’re worth—he and his friends are sharing their take with those who need it most.

But zooming through their riches has a downside. The pills are running out, the Feds are cracking down, and a mysterious figure named Mr. Springfield is teaming up with the authorities, claiming to know more about the speedsters than they know about themselves.

The MPH Library Edition (144 pages, hardcover, 8 × 12.1875”) will be available in bookstores and comic shops on September 8, 2026. It is now available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop or bookstore for $49.99.

Dark Horse Comics presents The Adventures of Lumen N., a new steampunk adventure set at the turn of the 20th century written by James Robinson, penciled by Phil Hester, inked by Marc Deering, colored by Bill Crabtree, and lettered by Jim Campbell.

The year is 1901 and our heroine Lumen is a precocious 13-year-old with many questions about her life. Why has her father been gone for years? Why must she learn so many languages and fighting techniques and what’s with all the lessons in seafaring? Then an attack on her home by a horde of steampunk assassins delivers the first glimmer of an answer, when Lumen’s savior reveals himself as her grandfather, the legendary Captain Nemo, one of the greatest characters in Victorian science-fiction literature. A brand-new world of steampunk adventure and thrills is about to open up for Lumen as she connects with the grandfather she never knew while together they take on a cabal of evil masterminds, intent on world domination.

SDCC 2024: Spiral City rises from the ashes of Jeff Lemire’s Black Hammer: Spiral City

Posted on by

Dark Horse Comics presents Black Hammer: Spiral City, the next series in the Black Hammer universe. This dystopian story, written by Jeff Lemire, and illustrated by Teddy Kristiansen, follows a new cast of heroes struggling to survive in a chaotic new world. The first issue will arrive November 2024 and features a cover by Kristiansen and three variant covers by Mike Mignola, Matt Wagner, and Duncan Fegredo.

Black Hammer: Spiral City picks up after The End, following the Second Cataclysm and the rearranging of the universe. Many of its lost heroes have returned, but there is no homecoming parade as anti-superhuman sentiment grows, fueled by recent events and stoked by Malcolm Gold, the former head of T.R.I.D.E.N.T, now running to become Spiral’s new mayor. Making matters worse, Spiral Asylum has shut down with many of its low-risk, mentally ill superhuman inmates being set loose into the streets. With this reshaped Black Hammer Universe as the backdrop, several new stories begin to unfold and intertwine, creating a rich portrait of some lesser-known inhabitants living on the fringes of Spiral City.

Black Hammer: Spiral City #1 (of 7) arrives in comic shops on November 13, 2024 and is now available to preorder at your local comic shop for $3.99.

Dark Horse will also be hosting a signing with Jeff Lemire and Ray Fawkes at San Diego Comic-Con to celebrate Black Hammer. Stay tuned for more details!

Mini Reviews: Giant Hellboy and Kneel Before Zod!

Kneel Before Zod #1

Sometimes, the staff at Graphic Policy read more comics than we’re able to get reviewed. When that happens you’ll see a weekly feature compiling reviews of the comics, or graphic novels, we just didn’t get a chance to write a full one for.

These are Graphic Policy’s Mini Reviews and Recommendations.

Giant Robot Hellboy #3 (Dark Horse) – Continuing from the previous issue’s cliffhanger where the giant robot is still working yet disconnected from Hellboy, Mike Mignola, Duncan Fegredo, and Dave Stewart break out the fireworks for Giant Hellboy #3. There’s plenty of robot punching giant mutated creatures on an island that’s about to explode, but lots of questions left answered like the beings on the screen when Hellboy is disconnected and the miniseries’ protagonist Jian’s whole deal. Nonetheless, Giant Robot Hellboy has high energy visuals, and the whole comic plays like a classic kaiju film, including its anti-atomic/radiation themes. It’s not required reading, but a perfect chaser after watching Godzilla Minus One or Monarch during these long, bleak nights. Overall: 7.9 Verdict: Buy

Kneel Before Zod #1 (DC Comics) – DC Comics starts off 2024 with a bang as Joe Casey, Dan McDaid, and David Baron turn in the first chapter of a solo series featuring one of Superman’s most fearsome foes. However, although there are carnage-filled spreads and fight scenes, Kneel Before Zod #1 is also about a fractured family and the establishment of a new planet/nation state in the DC Universe. Casey unabashedly portrays Zod as a fascist, but more understated and less aggressive until he has to cut loose in battle. There’s a lot of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld in him, but he’s pure blitzkrieg while fighting. Also connected to Nazi eugenicism, he wants to make sure New Candor is populated with Kryptonians before making his move unlike his son Lor Zod, who is all fire and rage and gets exiled after he tries to hurt his father with his heat vision. McDaid excels at letting his pages breathe and inserting panels where key characters like Zod, Lor, and Zod’s wife Ursa show disappointment, sadness, and distance in between the political maneuvering and bloody action. All in all, Kneel before Zod has similar energy to Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca’s Darth Vader series (But with much better art), and the family tension and political intrigue make this a much more complex read than “I’m evil and kick ass” although there’s a lot of that too. Overall: 8.8 Verdict: Buy

Mini Reviews: It’s Giant Robot Hellboy and Alan Scott Green Lantern!

Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #1

Giant Robot Hellboy #1 (Dark Horse) – Mike Mignola, Duncan Fegredo, and Dave Stewart reunite for the enticingly named Giant Robot Hellboy #1. Set in the 1960s, Hellboy is kidnapped off the streets of London by some secret organization, and his brainwaves are connected to a giant robot fighting a monster on a distant island while a stealthier spy does her thing. Pacing is this first issue’s strength with Mignola relying on Fegredo’s visual storytelling skills to show the trials and tribulations of connecting someone to a mecha against their will. The spy action is as sleek as the robot fight is clunky. The ending is a little abrupt, but it’s a good first foray and would probably make Guillermo Del Toro smile. Overall: 8.2 Verdict: Buy

Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #1 (DC Comics) – Alan Scott: The Green Lantern is another hit from DC’s new JSA line of books. Tim Sheridan and Cian Tormey spin a tale of Scott’s life as a closeted gay man and early superhero in 1941. There’s tension between him and the JSA, an extended scene with J. Edgar Hoover, and of course, pining for Alan Scott’s lost love Johnny Ladd who appeared in the DC Pride special. On the visual side, Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #1 is a modernization of a classic superhero/war comic with sharp lines from Tormey and bright colors from Matt Herms. Much of tension doesn’t come from the overarching threat, but if Scott will be caught with another man because being gay was a felony in the 1930s and 1940s when much of this comic took place. Alan Scott #1 is all about the struggles to live your truth and explores queerness and sexuality just like Wesley Dodds #1 explores class and privilege. It has light jokes, at times, but is miles away from a happy ending at this point in the story. Overall: 8.5 Verdict: Buy
