There's B.P.R.D. in the van...

Well then, that settles it...I'm good for a ride

[noble_enough]

I want to see the wendigo body in a BPRD vest and armour. With goggles. Please Ben, come back.

I thought that sounded fun, so I drew it

[Middenway]

That's so awesome!

Anyone else been enjoying these from Hellmail?

Those postcards are so cool. Wonder which Paperback will include them in the future.

[Middenway]

It would be amusing if they were in the B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth: Wasteland trade.

The "Arc de Triomophe, Paris" one is drawn by Peter Snejbjerg. Looks like it might be a preview of A Cold Day in Hell.

Okay, I only saw this now, but it is fantastic. Thanks for making my day.

[James Harren will] be back before long for... well, for something that will satisfy everyone who’s had complaints about the direction of the book, something we’ve been gearing up for for some time.

...Sounds good to me.

[Storey74]

Wow... talk about a tease. I feel like the direction has been on track for a while now, but I can't wait to see where it is going.

Ooooh, interesting. Would it involve Liz? I'd make her pasta. Homemade, which would be a bit of a gamble. Or grow her her own tulips, a bed of them.

I might even go as far as making mr James pasta!

From B.P.R.D. Vampire #1:

...with Hellboy in Hell, you'll be waiting a long time on that first collection, as it collects #1-#5, and we don't currently know when #5 will be out, since it's a standalone story, separate from the first arc. So for any trade waiting on Hellboy in Hell, you will be waiting longer than usual.

From Abe Sapien #1: Dark and Terrible (Part 1):

We are in for the long haul here; hope you are too. After the initial three-part Dark and Terrible story, John Arcudi will join Mike and Max Fiumara for a two-parter. After that there will be a short break, and then Mike and I will be doing short arcs alternating between Max and Sebastian for the next few years. This is the beginning of something big...

From B.P.R.D. Vampire #2:

Are you in Germany to kill the Black Flame, Matt? Because he hasn’t been there in ages. But that story will be told next year . . .

That would be Get the Lobster! a five-issue Lobster Johnson story starting February next year.

About James Harren:

James will be back very soon, with a huge B.P.R.D. story. We're keeping him busy full time!

That "soon" makes me think the August solicitations will be rather interesting...

In other news:

We have a Witchfinder book in the works, but it's a long way off yet.

Note "book" not miniseries, so it's likely five issues at least. I'm very much looking forward to this one. I wonder who they have as the writer and artist team?

And you have not seen the last of Agent Howards [from The Abyss of Time]. Look for B.P.R.D. #107 in two weeks, as Johann goes looking for the missing team...

I'm really looking forward to seeing this particular thread picked up on. And Wasteland is definitely something worth anticipating.

Finally there was a note on on something you guys may be interested in:

Starting this month, some faithful devotees of H.P. Lovecraft, led by sculptor Bryan Moore, are working to raise money to erect a life-size bust of the weird bard in his hometown of Providence, Rhode Island. The fundraiser includes original art from Mike Mignola and a walk-on role in this book. Find out more info at Facebook.com/LovecraftBronzeBustProject and on Twitter at @LovecraftBust.
