nobody dies in comic books, six months to a year from now there will be a quest to revive Hellboy special commemorative issue. 
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Didn't Superman die at some point only to return soon after? :)

Hellboy can't die... He has a destiny to fulfil!

<SPOILER ALERT>

Finally got the last of three issues of the series today. Hellboy "dies" in this world, but Nimue takes him to Hell with her.

The inside back cover of Issue #3 says, "Coming in 2012 -- Hellboy in Hell."

He'll find a way back.

Oh, that last one was a massive spoiler... maybe you could make the font a tiny size and have people enlarge it at their own will?

I've been collecting these in their graphic novel format. As soon as Mignola stopped doing the artwork there was something lost, I think.

I liked the Crooked Man book, BPRD I didn't like as much, particularly because of John Arcudis drawings.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing this series!

Sadly like all comic book series (well not all but a few) it drags on a looses it's general flare i.e Walking Dead and like all super heroes they get killed off. He will be brought back to life I'd put money on it

As I see it your not a comic char if you havent died and come back atleast once. Just look at the X-men.. lost track on how many times they died.

thumps up for Mignola! I like a lot Hellboy, but if it's time for Mignola to go into new projects and Hellboys death is sensible to close the story, then go ahead.
Many good stories require the death of the hero to be complete and be good stories.
I prefer him to kill the character instead to turn it into a franchise serie constantly changing artist & writer and finishing in a never ending serie where the character turns into a toon of himself.
