Hellboy in Hell: Nothing but Blood Announced by Dark Horse Comics
Hellboy is heading back to Hell.
Dark Horse Comics has announced Hellboy in Hell: Nothing but Blood, a brand-new two-issue comic event from legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and internationally acclaimed artist Cyrille Pomès.
The new series marks Pomès’ debut in the Hellboy Universe and returns readers to one of the most important chapters in Hellboy history. Written by Mike Mignola, drawn and lettered by Cyrille Pomès, and colored by longtime Hellboy colorist Dave Stewart, Hellboy in Hell: Nothing but Blood #1 arrives on October 7, 2026.
Fans can read the official announcement from Dark Horse Comics for more details.
Mike Mignola Returns to Hellboy in Hell
Hellboy in Hell has long been considered one of the most ambitious and important chapters in the character’s history.
Originally published between 2012 and 2016, the series explored Hellboy’s origins, his extended family, and the strange, haunting landscape of Hell itself. It was not just another Hellboy adventure. It was a major turning point in the larger mythology.
Now, Hellboy in Hell: Nothing but Blood returns to that haunting era with a new story set after the death of Satan and the fall of Pandemonium in Hellboy in Hell #8.
That placement alone makes this new two-issue event a major release for Hellboy fans.
What Is Hellboy in Hell: Nothing but Blood About?
Hellboy in Hell: Nothing but Blood #1 begins in the underworld during a demonic uprising.
Hellboy sees a young woman being chased by winged beasts and steps in to save her. But this is Hell, and nothing is ever simple. The uprising is aimed at some of Hell’s most powerful demons, and the situation quickly becomes stranger, darker, and more dangerous than it first appears.
Dark Horse is keeping the deeper twists under wraps, but the setup already sounds like classic Hellboy: gothic danger, eerie mystery, monsters with hidden motives, and a hero who cannot help stepping into trouble even in the depths of Hell.
For longtime readers, this is a return to one of the most visually rich corners of the Hellboy saga. For newer fans, it looks like a strong reason to revisit Hellboy in Hell before October.
Cyrille Pomès Makes His Hellboy Universe Debut
One of the biggest reasons this announcement stands out is the arrival of Cyrille Pomès in the Hellboy Universe.
Pomès is known for works including Moon and 6,000 Miles to Freedom, and this new two-issue event gives him the chance to bring his storytelling style into Mignola’s world of demons, shadows, ancient powers, and strange folklore.
Mignola has said he discovered Pomès’ work, loved it, and invited him into a true collaboration on the story. That makes Nothing but Blood feel like more than a side project. It is a new creative partnership inside one of comics’ most recognizable mythologies.
Pomès is drawing and lettering the series, while Dave Stewart returns on colors. That combination gives this Hellboy story a very strong creative identity.
Dave Stewart Returns to Color Hell
The return of Dave Stewart is another major piece of this announcement.
Stewart’s color work has helped define the visual tone of the Hellboy Universe for decades. His sense of atmosphere, shadow, fire, and supernatural mood is a huge part of why these stories feel so distinct.
With Hellboy in Hell: Nothing but Blood, Stewart is once again helping shape the look of the underworld. That should be exciting for readers who love the visual language of Mignola’s Hellboy stories.
Hell is not just a setting in these comics. It is a mood, a mythology, and a character in its own right. Stewart’s colors will be essential to making that world feel alive again.
Covers and Collector Information
Both issues of Hellboy in Hell: Nothing but Blood will feature main covers by Cyrille Pomès.
The first issue will also include a variant cover by Mike Mignola, while the second issue will feature a variant cover by Marc Riou.
That gives collectors several strong reasons to watch this release. A new Hellboy in Hell story is already important, but adding Mignola variant art to issue one makes the debut even more appealing for longtime fans.
For Hellboy collectors, Dark Horse readers, and fans of premium horror-fantasy comics, this two-issue event should be on the pull list early.
Why Hellboy in Hell Still Matters
Hellboy in Hell matters because it pushed the character into one of his most personal and mythic journeys.
The original series was not just about action or monsters. It was about identity, destiny, family, guilt, and the strange architecture of Hell. It gave readers a deeper understanding of Hellboy’s place in the universe while showing Mignola at one of his most imaginative points as a storyteller and artist.
That is why returning to this chapter feels significant.
Nothing but Blood is not simply another Hellboy title. It is a return to one of the most defining periods in the character’s history, now seen through a new artistic collaboration.
Why New Readers Should Pay Attention
New readers may wonder if they can jump into Hellboy in Hell: Nothing but Blood without knowing every piece of Hellboy continuity.
The answer is likely yes, but reading Hellboy in Hell first will make the experience stronger.
The new story is set after key events from Hellboy in Hell #8, so readers familiar with that series will have more context. Still, the hook is easy to understand: Hellboy is in Hell, a demonic uprising is underway, and a rescue attempt pulls him into something much stranger.
That is a strong horror-fantasy setup even before the deeper mythology comes into play.
If you enjoy gothic comics, supernatural adventure, dark fantasy, demon lore, or creator-owned mythology, Hellboy in Hell: Nothing but Blood should be one of the major Dark Horse releases to watch in 2026.
