Mike Mignola returns to ‘Hellboy in Hell’ with artist Cyrille Pomès

The two-issue miniseries begins in October and revisits the period following Satan’s death in the underworld.

Dark Horse Comics has announced Hellboy in Hell: Nothing But Blood, a two-issue miniseries from Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and French artist Cyrille Pomès, with colors by longtime Mignola collaborator Dave Stewart. The series marks Pomès’ debut in the Hellboy Universe.

The story is set after the death of Satan and the fall of Pandemonium, as chronicled in Hellboy in Hell #8, with Hellboy intervening when he sees a young woman being chased by winged beasts amid a demonic uprising.

“Yes, I too thought Hellboy in Hell was a closed book—But a while back I discovered the work of Cyrille Pomés and instantly fell in love with it,” Mignola said. “We actually met and when he said he’d like to do a Hellboy story, well, how could I say no to that? I still had half an idea for a Hell story rattling around in my head and invited him to flesh that out, so now what you have is a true collaboration on the story and his absolutely wonderful art and storytelling. I’m so happy to introduce this guy to the American comic book audience.”
