Drawn 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.

Collects Frankenstein: New World--The Speed of Darkness #1–#4 and bonus material.

About the authors

Mike Mignola

Mike Mignola's fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age; reading Dracula at age twelve introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore, from which he has never recovered. Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he swiftly evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he had begun to develop his own unique graphic style, with mainstream projects like Cosmic Odyssey and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight. In 1994, he published the first Hellboy series through Dark Horse. There are thirteen Hellboy graphic novels (with more on the way), several spin-off titles (B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien, and Sir Edward Grey: Witchfinder), prose books, animated films, and two live-action films starring Ron Perlman. Along the way he worked on Francis Ford Coppola's film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), was a production designer for Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), and was the visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004), and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). Mike's books have earned numerous awards and are published in a great many countries. Mike lives in Southern California with his wife, daughter, and cat.

Praise for Frankenstein: New World:

“Frankenstein: New World #1 is both quintessentially a Hellboy Universe book, and yet like nothing else we've seen before in the Hellboy Universe before. Bergting's art truly transports us into a new world, while embellishing it with compositions and pacing that tap into a Mignola-esque mood.”—Multiversity

“There aren't many misses in the pantheon of Hellboy comics, but Frankenstein: New World seems poised to become the best story since B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know concluded.”—ComicBook.com
