Dark Horse Announces Participating Hellboy Day Stores
MILWAUKIE, OR, MARCH 11—March 22 marks the twentieth anniversary of Mike Mignola’s career-defining release of Hellboy: Seed of Destruction #1. After the character’s somewhat humble beginnings in an eight-page feature in Dark Horse’s San Diego Comic-Con Comics special, Seed of Destruction would begin the long life of the beloved “beast of the apocalypse.” In December, Dark Horse announced March 22, 2014, would be Hellboy Day, with events happening in comic shops around the world! In addition to a slew of exclusive giveaways, Dark Horse has produced an all-new sampler comic featuring two classic Mignola tales, “The Ghoul” and “Another Day at the Office,” as well as two new stories

Dark Horse continues the story of Angel and Faith in the debut issue of Angel & Faith: Season 10. The previous comic season ended with Faith leaving London and Angel staying in Magic Town. I’m guessing the two will meet up again at some point; otherwise, why would the comic be called “Angel & Faith”? Victor Gischler and Will Conrad write and draw this comic, which will be released April 2, for $3.50, and joining them are Michelle Madsen on colors and Scott Fisher on cover art.

Dark Horse sent over a preview of their upcoming comic Blackout, which will debut March 26. This comic features the story of Scott Travers and his special suit, which allows him to move around unseen via a parallel dimension. The problem is that he has no idea where the suit came from, how it works, or where the person who gave it to him went. Oh, and he’s got people after him. Typical. I like the look of the Blackout suit; think I’ll give this comic a try. Check out the preview below. Blackout #1 on sale March 26 for $2.99 Writers: Frank
