    HELLBOY AND THE BPRD 1957: Falling Sky
    Writer: Mike Mignola, Chris Roberson
    Artist: Shawn Martinbrough
    Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
    Release Date: August 10, 2022
    Cryptozoologist Woodrow “Woody” Ferrier joined the B.P.R.D. to find exciting and previously undocumented cryptids, but unfortunately, most of his cases end in disappointment. But a trip with Hellboy to small-town Virginia where a huge and mysterious creature stalks the woods might provide him with just the opportunity he’s been waiting for!

    Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and longtime collaborater Chris Roberson gives us a new tale from the world of Hellboy. Featuring art by Shawn Martinbrough, colors by Dave Stewart, and letters by Clem Robins.

One group of them stick together, determined to keep helping kids across the country and do it by becoming an A-Team-esque band of mercenaries fighting for (And educating!) kids in the crumbling, corporate war zone of New Best America.
