Hellboy-a 7-foot-tall red behemoth with filed-down horns and an oversize, rocky right hand-is undoubtedly an arresting figure to lead a movie with. For some ungodly reason, Mike Mignola’s cult series for the indie label Dark Horse Comics-which was already beautifully adapted for the big screen by Guillermo del Toro-is back in the hands of a new creative team, which does an awful job of justifying its return. Now the glut has reached the level of more specific complaints: There aren’t just too many superhero franchises there are also too many Hellboy franchises. Studios’ nonstop efforts to launch new cinematic comic-book brands have choked theaters to the point where you can barely enter a multiplex without knocking over a cardboard standee of a caped crusader or two. Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea #1 will hit comic shops and digital storefronts on Wednesday, May 17, 2023.A common refrain in film criticism these days is that there are too many superhero franchises.

The key was to visually strike a balance between those aspects of the story.” There’ll be quiet moments in Victorian parlors and then explosions of action and violence in ancient arenas. Miss Truesdale is a story with very dramatic shifts in mood and tone. Lonergan adds, “Sequences with lots of action and movement are probably where I’m most comfortable, so these pages introducing the character of Anum Yassa were where things started to click into place for me. Once I figured out how to splice the two together it pretty much all wrote itself.” But somehow I DID know how to write a sort of timid Victorian secretary. So, a sort of female Spartacus just sprang to mind and that was pretty much it-only I had no idea how to write a female Hyperborean gladiator.

'I was looking for something very different and realized there was a lot of Hyperborean history that hadn’t been dealt with. “Well, one day I finally realized we didn’t have a real central female character in the Hellboy world-other than Liz, and I felt we had done plenty with her,' Mignola tells IGN.
