Mike Mignola's Frankenstein #4
Frankenstein: New World Volume 3--The Speed of Darkness
Not yet published
Expected 12 Jan 27Drawn by visions of Liz Sherman with urgent pleas to save the world from a second destruction, Frankenstein and young Lilja race against time—and evil forces with their own horrifying ambitions—to find her and save the planet.
The end of the new world could come sooner than they think—and only they can stop it. Called by Liz Sherman in visions to save the new world, Frankenstein and Lilja begin using Vril energy to try and find her. But the earth is being corrupted by a parasitic and powerful evil, and their time to stop it is running out.
In the follow-up to Hellboy and B.P.R.D., Frankenstein and young Lilja travel across the transformed world to follow a prophetic vision. Along the way, they befriend mysterious people and fight monstrous creatures, all while navigating the metamorphosized natural world above. But the path set by her vision is not clear and easy, and there will be both legendary enemies from Hellboy’s history and new horrifying foes that will try to stop them.
This third miniseries of Frankenstein: New World features the return of creative team Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden, Thomas Sniegoski, Peter Bergting, Michelle Madsen, and Clem Robins taking readers to a future as dangerous as it is enchanting, from the world of Hellboy.

About the author
Mike Mignola
1,872 books2,618 followersMike Mignola was born September 16, 1960 in Berkeley, California and grew up in nearby Oakland. His fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age (he doesn't remember why) and reading Dracula at age 13 introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore from which he has never recovered.
In 1982, hoping to find a way to draw monsters for a living, he moved to New York City and began working for Marvel Comics, first as a (very terrible) inker and then as an artist on comics like Rocket Raccoon, Alpha Flight and The Hulk. By the late 80s he had begun to develop his signature style (thin lines, clunky shapes and lots of black) and moved onto higher profile commercial projects like Cosmic Odyssey (1988) and Gotham by Gaslight (1989) for DC Comics, and the not-so-commercial Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser (1990) for Marvel. In 1992, he drew the comic book adaptation of the film Bram Stoker's Dracula for Topps Comics.
In 1993, Mike moved to Dark Horse comics and created Hellboy, a half-demon occult detective who may or may not be the Beast of the Apocalypse. While the first story line (Seed of Destruction, 1994) was co-written by John Byrne, Mike has continued writing the series himself. There are, at this moment, 13 Hellboy graphic novel collections (with more on the way), several spin-off titles (B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien and Witchfinder), three anthologies of prose stories, several novels, two animated films and two live-action films staring Ron Perlman. Hellboy has earned numerous comic industry awards and is published in a great many countries.
Mike also created the award-winning comic book The Amazing Screw-on Head and has co-written two novels (Baltimore, or, the Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire and Joe Golem and the Drowning City) with best-selling author Christopher Golden.
Mike worked (very briefly) with Francis Ford Coppola on his film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), was a production designer on the Disney film Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) and was visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004) and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). He lives somewhere in Southern California with his wife, daughter, a lot of books and a cat.

Review of advance copy
Another great story following Frankenstein and Lilja as they seek Liz Sherman or The Lady of the Spark!!
I was expecting this to end on more of a period and less of an ellipsis but still an amazing journey...
