‘Shadow of the Golden Crane’ #3 Preview: Hauntings, Herbs, and the Paranormal

The world of Hellboy is one of the weirdest but also one of the most beloved fictional worlds of all time. Created by Mike Mignola, Hellboy is a character that helped Dark Horse Comics become a popular comic book brand.

And while the main series is the most popular among fans, there have been several spin-of series set in the same fictional universe, like the currently ongoing Shadow of the Golden Crane series.

In light of that, we can confirm that Shadow of the Golden Crane #3 is going to be released on April 16, 2025, and we have the first preview images from this upcoming paranormal story.

Before we continue with the story, here are the preview images we have for you from the upcoming issue:

Mike Mignola is not personally writing this issue, but both writer Chris Roberson and artist Michael Avon Oeming have done their best to craft a story that feels like it’s taken right out of the pages of a Mignola comic:

Agent Xiang investigates a haunting at an herbalist shop that pulls her into a web of ancient witchcraft. Hellboy creator Mike Mignola is joined by writer Chris Roberson and artist Michael Avon Oeming in this paranormal puzzle that unfolds across time.
