There are a few that I’d like us to explore more, some of which are already in early development. Scorpion Masked Man would be something, but we haven’t considered that particular character for a mini. Mike and I regularly joke about the goose from Koshchei the Deathless, which is actually Baba Yaga’s daughter, getting her own story or just getting thrown back in somewhere. Mike tried to get that goose on almost every Koshchei cover and it didn’t work out (chronicled in the Koshchei sketchbook section), so maybe we’ll find her a new home. I think the characters in Hell are the most interesting, so it would be great to wander around there a bit more.





Questions from Mignolaverse contributors:

When you were getting ready to take over editing for the whole continuity, how difficult was it, and where their any super weird facts you were surprised to find in researching?" - Daniel LaPlante

It was challenging in a way, but more because of the workload of the job than the story continuity. I had already been assisting on the books for two and half years so I was pretty familiar, but some of the stories don’t have clear dates on them, so doing something like our massive timeline poster (which started with about ten times as many events on it) can be tricky.

Every now and then there will be some random detail that I don’t remember and cannot find an answer to, and then I’ll call Mike and he’ll help me. Things like character names, and more often it’s actually characters that do not have names, in which case we leave them nameless most of the time. Surprisingly, these questions usually have more to do with licensing than the actual books. We don’t necessarily worry about a nameless character too much in a story, but if they’re getting put into a game or included in a piece of art going on a product, we can get those questions.
