The world of Mike Mignola's Hellboy came to an end - literally - in🌜 the limited series , with all of humanity dying out and being replaced with a new race of frog people. But now, the franchise will be resurrected through one of the first sci-fi characters ever, who is known for returning to life: Frankenstein's monster.

The world of BPRD has had its own version of the classic creature for some time, but now he's returning, and he's br💎inging a new look at the Hellboy franchise with him for the four-part limited series Frankenstein: New World from creator Mike Mignওola, writers Christopher Golden and Thomas Sniegoski, artist Peter Bergting, colorist Michelle Madsen, and letterer Clem Robbins.

When las♌t readers saw the BPRD version of Frankenstein, he was retreating into the center of the Earth to live underground - with one last glimpse of his subterranean life appearing in the finale of The Devil You Know. 

In Frankenstein: New World, he'll emerge from his underg🦩round sanctuary 1000 years in the future to a surface world that has never known humans for a st▨ory that co-writer Christopher Golden compares to Jack Kirby's classic dystopian sci-fi comic .

"When Chris and Tom ca🍌me to me with the idea of having Frankenstein’s adventures in Frog World, I think it took me about ten seconds to say YES," states Hellboy creator Mike Mignola in the announcement. "And then two minutes later I think we were on the phone talking about all the possibilities. I just don’t seem to be able to put a lid on this thing - which I guess is a good thing."

"This is the kind of weird-ass Frankens☂tein story that I’ve always wanted to read, and now I get to help write it!" adds co-writer Thomas Sniegoski.

"Frankenstein: New World is the weirdest comic either of us has ever done, quiet and🔜 creepy and - we hope - a nice balance of dread and wonder," Golden concludes. 

Frankenstein: New World #1 goes on sale August 3.
