Cover artist: Alex Nieto
Anastasia and Hellboy are chasing down a cult to get the answers they need to stop apocalyptic disaster, but the cult may catch up with them first. But their problems are only beginning, as the Greek dig site becomes suddenly scarier when something larger than life emerges from the ancient caverns.
Legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and superstar artist Duncan Fegredo have created some of the most iconic Hellboy Universe stories of all time, including Hellboy: The Wild Hunt, Hellboy: The Storm and The Fury, and 2023’s acclaimed Giant Robot Hellboy. Now they’re reuniting with Eisner Award-winning colorist Dave Stewart and longtime Hellboy Universe letterer Clem Robins for Giant Robot Hellboy Returns, a two issue comic book event that comes to comic shops today, July 22. The series features main covers by Fegredo; issue 1 features a variant cover by Ben Stenbeck and issue 2 features a variant cover by James Harren.
After Hellboy is kidnapped and connected to a massive mecha-Hellboy for a mission on a mysterious, faraway island, Giant Robot Hellboy disappears. Scientists comb the sea looking for him but find more than they bargained for when an interdimensional portal threatens to pull them in—or let monsters of unknown origin out.
To celebrate the comic’s release, we have an exclusive look at Duncan Fegredo’s art process. Check it out below and get your copy today!

Frankenstein: New World – The Speed of Darkness #3
Writer: Mike Mignola · Christopher Golden · Thomas Sniegoski
Artist: Peter Bergting
Colorist: Michelle Madsen
Letterer: Clem Robins
Cover artist: Peter Bergting
In a life-or-death moment, Frankenstein summons a power within himself that he didn’t know he had, and he and Lilja fight their way to Liz before vampiric creatures destroy them all—and the New World.
This third miniseries of Frankenstein: New World features the return of creative team Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden, Thomas Sniegoski, Peter Bergting, Michelle Madsen, and Clem Robins taking readers to a future as dangerous as it is enchanting, from the world of Hellboy.
Rumors of a monster bring Hellboy to a nearly abandoned town in Sardinia, where the search for the creature leads to a local abbey with a shocking secret of its own. Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: The Monster of Nivola is a solid one-shot you can pick up and enjoy without ever having read a Hellboy comic before.
One thing that’s great about Hellboy is the ability to just dive in and enjoy a mini-series or a one-shot. It’s the type of horror comic that has a bigger mythos but also keeps things focused and the story written in a way that plays into the bigger story while also being contained. So, as a casual reader of the character, I enjoy diving in and out and checking out releases, but also never feel pressured that I have to read everything to enjoy it.
With a story by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden, Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: The Monster of Nivola is another great entry with an underlying theme asking who the true monster is? It’s an issue full of twists and turns, focused more on the backstory of the monster Hellboy is hunting than Hellboy himself. It’s one that questions his actions and our view as the reader. A solid horror comic with depth that leaves you pondering its story well after you’re done reading it.
The art by Daniele Serra is interesting. With color by Serra and lettering by Clem Robins, the comic has a water color style to it that creates a dreamlike feel to the story, making it feel even more like an allegory driving home its point. Things look solid giving a somewhat dour, almost a feel of mourning to it, as Hellboy doesn’t deal with the repercussions of his dealing with the monster but local residents instead. It’s an interesting story that focuses more on those impacted by Hellboy with a sadness, frustrating, and anger to it all.
Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: The Monster of Nivola is an interesting story that twists things up. It’s not as clear as to who is in the right and the wrong and shows Hellboy’s punch first, ask questions later, style isn’t always the best plan. It’s a perfect comic to pick up and enjoy whether you’re a Hellboy fan or not.
