Last month, the first arc of “Petrol Head” wrapped up. For those of you that haven’t read it yet, the series is kind of The Iron Giant meets Mad Max: Fury Road. The trade paperback collection is currently available for pre-order with the final order cut-off on Monday, April 29, so make sure you get on that. Unlike our last interview with writer Rob Williams and artist Pye Parr, this interview is spoiler heavy. We’re assuming you’ve already read the comic and want to explore it further.

2023 was a big year for Mike Mignola’s Hellboy Universe. So many comics that came out last year had seismic moments that reverberate out and can be felt in other stories. “Panya: The Mummy’s Curse,” by writer Chris Roberson and artist Christopher Mitten with colorist Michelle Madsen and letterer Clem Robins, was one of these stories, and after I finished reading it, I immediately had to talk to Roberson about it. Thankfully, he obliged.

Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda’s “The Night Eaters” trilogy continues with its second book, ‘Her Little Reapers.’ After the first book ended with the Ting twins discovering that they aren’t human, that they have supernatural powers, you might think that the horror element of the series would be somewhat dampened. You’d be wrong. Spoiler warning: this review discusses major themes and plot points.

Mike Mignola and Duncan Fegredo’s “Giant Robot Hellboy” wraps up with a bang (or should I say boom?) in this final issue as we finally meet the true titular character. And yet this story leaves a lot of dangling threads. This is clearly the beginning of something much bigger. As usual, this being a review for the final issue of a miniseries, it is packed full of spoilers. If you haven’t read “Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea” yet, there are spoilers for that story too.

I remain convinced that John Allison and Max Sarin’s “Giant Days” is one of the best comics of the 2010s. I can’t get enough of it and I’ll be happily rereading the whole series over the end-of-year break. Happily, the two are continuing to work together on a new series for Dark Horse Comics, “The Great British Bump-Off.” This was an absolute joy to read—slightly dangerous though, since I was drinking hot coffee and nearly snorted it out of my nose when I started laughing.
