Hellboy and archaeologist Anastasia Bransfield trek to Iceland for evidence of a seemingly impossible network of occultists, but a fresh dig site holds answers that come at a steep—and risky—price. Hellboy in Love: The Art of Fire #1 kicks off a new adventure that can be enjoyed by long time fans as well as new readers.
While I enjoy Hellboy, I haven’t read everything and it’s been a bit since I picked up a series. So, I went into Hellboy in Love: The Art of Fire #1 fairly unfamiliar with recent events and came away enjoy the debut issue. That’s one of the things I love about Hellboy, while it rewards those who have stuck around and read everything, it’s also a series where you can pick up a story arc and just enjoy it.
Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden put the spotlight on Hellboy and Anastasia as they head to Iceland to gather clues to a mystery Anastasia has been investigating. That’s about what you need to know as far as background and all of it is explained in some way. In Iceland, the duo need to contact a long dead witch, which you know is not going to go right.
Mignola and Golden deliver a first issue that delivers the action, excitement, horror, mystery, and humor you’d expect from a Hellboy adventure and deliver it in a way that anyone can pick it up and enjoy. It’s easy to dive into, there’s little you need to know before, which is impressive for a character and series that has so much out there. It’s an interesting story about two individuals who are dating and supporting each other in different ways. There’s something sweet and cute about it all. It’s uplifting in a way to see these two front and center.
The art by Alex Nieto is interesting. Nieto also handles the color with Clem Robins on lettering and the style reminds me a bit of Mike Allred. It has a “pulp” aspect to it that fits the lighthearted feel to the comic. This isn’t a comic where the horror is the focus, and instead is more about its two leads and the art reflects that in a way.
Hellboy in Love: The Art of Fire #1 is a fun entry in the Hellboy universe that rewards long time fans but also new readers can dive into and just enjoy. Hellboy is great that way, pulling something off that far too few do. It’s the start of another adventure that can be enjoyed on its own but also adds to the bigger picture.

Coming February 2026, discover an all-new look at the work of the legendary Wally Wood as he helped change the face of comics forever at EC Comics, the groundbreaking publisher known for their industry leading horror, sci-fi, and suspense storytelling!
The Wally Wood EC Stories Artist’s Edition – EXPANDED will include all 18 stories from the long out-of-print first edition, but that’s not all. An additional 10 stories will be included for the very first time, for a staggering total of 28 complete stories, and all at the same gigantic size (15 x 22 inches!) as the original art was drawn!
Within these pages are some of Wood’s greatest artistic achievements, including his work on My World, Came the Dawn, Mars Is Heaven, Atom Bomb, Blockade, and many more! Additionally, more than a dozen classic covers by Wood are included. As an extra special bonus, the unpublished “Spawn of Venus” an EC Comics story intended for the canceled Three-Dimensional Science Fiction is included in this volume.
Then, in March 2026, dive into the second stunning half of Hellboy in Hell, issues 6-10, as well as numerous covers and story pages from multi award-winning creator Mike Mignolain this glorious, oversized Artist’s Edition!
Mike Mignola remains one of the preeminent comics creators of the past several decades. His career was already firmly established for his outstanding work on characters like Batman, Wolverine, a myriad of beautiful covers and more… And then came Hellboy. Mignola’s iconic creation struck a meteoric chord with fans from the very start and has not abated in the 30-plus years since the character’s debut.
An Artist’s Edition is an art book disguised as a comic collection. Although appearing to be in black and white, all the art is scanned in color, enabling the reader to see the work as close to the original as possible – ink gradients, blue pencil, and all the unique nuances that make original art so special – are all clearly visible and printed at the same size as drawn. The only better way to experience these pages is by looking at the artist’s drawing board, as they’re drawing.
