As part of a new slate of comics from the "B.P.R.D.: Hell On Earth" setting, Mike Mignola is tapping new writers, artists and ideas to bring vampires close to Hellboy in "The Transformation of J.H. O'Donnell" while eying Abe Sapien.

O_O Oh man, a comic per week!So right now we're in a position where there are quite a few artists we want to work with, and it's just a matter of working with guys' schedules. We've learned now that we've got in the foreseeable future if not already about a comic-a-week coming out.

O.K., now that scares me a little.
Maybe it's cuz it'd be vampires, having me be like "kill 'em all!" sort of.
Or: hell's bells! (not balls. Or it wouldn't rhyme.)Chillingly good stuff besides Mignola, Slint, M, Knut and really big chunks of tinfoil?Been called a 'good egg'. Been told to rock, been told to steady myself. Been told to (please) be goin' places.
Half sunk in the mud, with one eye showing / a cracked smile and hair still growing /
your hands miles apart, as if they'd never met / you were the happiest I'd seen you yet. ~ (full) lyrics to 'Exhume' by Bedhead.

I would say that vampires are tapped out right now, but if anyone can make them interesting again it's Mignola.

Good luck to the artists involved!Ars longa, vita brevis

The Varcolac is a great one, I also really loved Baltimore and the BRPD 1940's books so I'm down for whatever Mignola wants to do with Vampires. Originally Posted by noble_enough
