12 Most Anticipated Comics Coming In 2018

6. The Mignolaverse In 2018

Dark Horse

Release Date: Starting January

From one return to another now, and it's fair to say that (SPOILER!), the latest twist in B.P.R.D. was one fans didn't expect. With Hellboy now back in the land of the living, supposedly - and in time for another movie no less - the Mignolaverse has been placed in a really exciting position. With titles like Hell on Earth and Rasputin continuing, and with new series like Koshchei the Deathless and B.P.R.D. 1955 debuting, it's clear for all to see that Mike Mignola's supernatural mythos just keeps on getting better (and bigger).

It helped that 2017 was bookended with a phenomenal Christmas special (psst, read our interview with Adam Hughes here), but it really is impressive to see Hellboy's world go from strength to strength several years on from the title character's death. Now that we know he's returning, however, there's fresh impetus to reinvest in the world, especially with a new film on the horizon.

Hellboy is the gift that keeps on giving, and if Mignola and co. can keep that momentum going into the new year and after, then 2018 could be one of Dark Horse's best.
