Sir Edward Grey, Witchfinder: In The Service of Angels #2 (Of 5)

, a mysterious character occasionally appearing in “B.P.R.D.” and “Hellboy,” now has his own five-issue miniseries from Dark Horse with the first issue released last July 1, 2009. Written by Hellboy mastermind Mike Mignola with art by Ben Stenbeck, sees the Victorian occult detective fighting against otherworldly assassins and the devious machinations of the Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra. Although it has the same premise as others in Dark Horse's Hellboy Universe--paranormal investigators confronting the forces of the dark--the throwback setting to Victorian England help lend Witchfinder a fresh viewpoint, and it manages to more than hold its own. Definitely laying the groundwork for a major role for Witchfinder in an upcoming Hellboy saga.

Mike Mignola teams up with artist Ben Stenbeck (B.P.R.D.: The Ectoplasmic Man) for a long-awaited glimpse into one of the Hellboy universe's greatest enigmas: nineteenth-century occult investigator Edward Grey! After his confrontation with a spectral assassin, Sir Edward hopes to find answers from a mysterious medium in London's underworld, but discovers only a labyrinthine tangle of conspiracy as the body count continues to rise. Writer: Mike Mignola; Artist: Ben Stenbeck; Colorist: Dave Stewart -
