MILWAUKIE, Ore., (October 22, 2026)—Comics Legend Mike Mignola is reuniting with longtime collaborator Chris Roberson (iZombie) and Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: From Below artist Mike Norton (Battlepug) for an all-new five-issue series, B.P.R.D.: Declassified. The new series will send fan-favorite Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense agents Susan Xiang and Victor Koestler on a top-secret mission to Honolulu, Hawaii. Written by Mignola and Roberson with art by Norton, and colors by Dave Stewart, B.P.R.D.: Declassified #1 will feature a main cover by Norton and a variant cover by Gabriel Hardman (Green Lantern: Earth One). Subsequent issues will feature variants from Christopher MItten (The Foundry), Craig Rousseau (Young Hellboy), Michael Avon Oeming (Powers), and more!
“We’ve been teasing around the edges of a larger story involving an occult cold war in the pages of Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. and elsewhere for a while now, usually in the background of another supernatural investigation or monster hunt of some kind,” explains Chris Roberson. “B.P.R.D.: Declassified is a chance to pull the curtain back a bit and focus our full attention on what’s been going on in the shadows, and to see that the agents of the B.P.R.D. aren’t the only players on the board. The stakes are higher than Susan Xiang and company ever suspected.”
Fans last saw the psychic B.P.R.D. agent Susan Xiang in 2025’s The Shadow of the Golden Crane by Chris Roberson and Michael Avon Oeming, where she investigated her family’s connection to the mysterious Golden Crane Society. Now, she’s teaming up with astral projecting B.P.R.D agent Victor Koestler for an otherworldly missing person investigation.
Henry Rouch was overseas working on a classified government project before he mysteriously vanished. The supernatural circumstances surrounding his disappearance means the B.P.R.D. has been called in to investigate, but the agents soon discover that there’s much more to this case than meets the eye.
“The best thing about working on a B.P.R.D. story (and Chris’s stories in particular) is that I know there’s going to be something I never even THOUGHT of drawing before,” adds Mike Norton. “And let me tell you, this one does NOT disappoint!”
B.P.R.D.: Declassified #1 is due out on February 17, 2027. Follow Dark Horse Comics on social media for more news, announcements, and updates.
