Apostrophe S

When it comes to Hellboy, I had considered myself a Mignola purist. Meaning that if Mike Mignola didn’t write and draw it, I wasn’t interested. Well, I recently broke with that tradition by reading the Weird Tales books. After that, I decided I needed to get caught up on the B.P.R.D. series that Mike has been writing, but which has been drawn by a few other artists. Well, I did get caught up last night when I finished The Black Flame, which has a rather surprising ending.

The point, I guess, is that I’ve branched out from the Mignola Hellboy universe. And just in the nick of time, it turns out. Because I read in the letters section of a recent B.P.R.D. issue that Mignola won’t be drawing the next series in the “core” Hellboy saga, called Darkness Calls. He’ll be writing it, though, so we’ll all have to accept it as cannon. Hope that doesn’t get too many panties in a tangle.
