Is this connected to the comic series at all?

I love Hellboy, it's my favorite comic book, period. While I'm not as big a fan of Mike's BPRD books, the core 12 Hellboy books are the only comics I read every year, and I love the character enough to try to keep up with whatever is going on in that world. Seeing that Mike Mignola is actually involved in this game and it actually appropriates his unique style into its art, is the narrative for this game part of the Hellboy continuity, like the old Ultimate Spiderman game was?

Good Shepherd Entertainment, Upstream Arcade and Dark Horse are dedicated to creating something unique for Hellboy that fits within the established timeline.

While nothing outside of the comics qualifies as “canon”, Hellboy Web of Wyrd has a narrative and structure that is blessed into the timeline by Dark Horse editors and Mike Mignola: set before The Seed of Destruction, the game takes place in the 1980s where players will step into the shoes of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy.

The team has gone to great lengths to honor Mignola’s voice and art style, giving fans the opportunity to step into Hellboys shoes themselves.
