None of these will be available through comixology. Which is too bad. It's sad seeing Dark Horse become less and less relevant.

The Strain has a $1 price tag? good way to seduce potential readers.

Right. They are only the third largest comic publisher. Have you even tried digital.darkhorse.com?

As always: anything Mignolaverse (Hellboy in Dark Horse Presents!) and The Goon... no Usagi that month, it seems.

With no Usagi solicted its just

Dark Horse Comics Presents 7

for me.

Chalk me up as another who is disappointed that Dark Horse didn't go the Comixology route. I mean, yeah they have their own digital. But it's a hassle to juggle two different comic distributors.

Agent of the Empire. Sweet. I'll grab that in trade some time next year.

I'd have to agree with you, nothing of what they're currently publishing interests me in the least...

Its funny, because more Dark Horse is interesting me the ever before. I'm reading two titles (Usagi Yojimbo and Dark Horse Presents), that's two more then I have ever read through them before.

Usagi and Hellboy are two of the best comics being published. That's relevant enough for me (and The Goon, Beasts of Burden, and Concrete aren't anything to sneeze at either).

I think DH's reliability as a publisher of some of the best creator-owned general audience titles is its biggest strength.

My problem with getting into Hellboy is that there are a half dozen titles and none of them appear to be drawn by Mignola.

So its hard to find to a place to start at this point.

The beginning.

It's essentially one long story.

Obviously (and I have read the first 3 TPs), but the Hellboy franchise has spintered into so many series, what to read and in what order has become a bit of a quagmire.
