It's genuinely baffling how more people aren't talking about Mike Mignola's Hellboy right now. Not only is the character getting the reboot treatment curtesy of Neil Marshall, but he's also getting three comics this winter, all exploring various different aspects of the character's mythos.

One such comic will be Hellboy: Krampusnacht, an upcoming one-shot written by the H-boy creator himself and drawn by Adam Hughes. Hughes is one of the industry's brightest talents, and we rarely get to see him illustrate full issues, so the fact his name is on there is worth the price of admission alone.

It's not the only Hell-themed title coming this Holiday Season, however. Rasputin: The Voice of the Dragon - which will feature Professor Broom as he founds the B.P.R.D. - comes out soon as well, as does Koshchei the Deathless which, while a 2018 release, still technically features in the fourth quarter of the year, so it counts.

In any case, there are no shortage of Hellboy titles coming in the remainder of 2017, and that's a good thing for fans of ol' Red.
