r/Mignolaverse

This is a page from an upcoming anthology where I got to create my own Mignola inspired monster. It's from the HP Lovecraft universe.

Mignola got his first laugh outta me with this scene right here. It was already funny but the fact it exploded on the next page kinda caught me off guard.

Wake The Devil is that turning point where the veil of what this series is building to finally lifts.

Chained Coffin felt like a little tease but i’m all in on this prophecy stuff now.

Just ordered the short story volume 1 since I finished reading Wake the Devil yesterday & I’ve noticed nearly every reading order list i’ve found online puts The Chained Coffin after Wake the Devil which makes zero sense to me.

Hellboy references The Chained Coffin multiple times in WTD but also it just works thematically that he’d go out & do some solo investigating after the events of Seed of Destruction.

Also the events in Chained Coffin foreshadow some of the stuff in WTD nicely.

My copy thankfully put these stories in order but it makes me a little cautious about some of these reading lists in future 🤔.

Just finished Seed of Destruction.

Very barebones but an excellent introduction to this character & world. I was kinda surprised by how it was effectively a speed run of the first film. Hellboy’s dad just kinda dies off before we even get the chance to care, which caught me by surprise.

I’ve often heard people say the first film isn’t a super faithful adaptation but after finally reading this, I feel like they pretty much got all the essentials.

Mignola’s art style & atmosphere is second to none, love the shadows & black pages.

Wolves of Saint August up next!

Hey everyone!

I've published a few posts on the community about my comic book, Otherkin, inspired by Mike Mignola. Since it's hard to get any visibility as an indie creator, I'm taking the liberty to share more about the comic's characters. Mods, let me know if this is bothersome, and I'll remove it (and stop posting about Otherkin)

If you still haven't backed us on Kickstarter, or if you know someone who might enjoy the comic, help us by pledging and spreading the word!

Also, if you'd like to see whether the comic suits your taste before supporting us on Kickstarter, the first three issues are currently available for free on GlobalComix. Feedback is always more than welcome!

If you missed my previous posts, my name is Marco, the writer of the independent comic book series Otherkin. Otherkin is a horror/urban fantasy comic book series following a paranormal investigator, Alex, clashing with a secret society. While we are inspired by Hellboy, Hellblazer, and Swamp Thing, we are doing our own thing.

Our main character, Alex, is a genderfluid spellcaster, and the story follows them as they use their abilities to look for an evil that nests in London. More often than not, Alex makes hasty decisions that put themself and the people around them in danger, as they feel pressured to prove their worth.

We have our own magic system, a mythology that actually gives answers to central questions, instead of dragging everything out, and a world of danger and monsters hidden from most people. If the art and the story beats fit your taste, we would highly appreciate your support on Kickstarter!
