In the dreamland of Baba Yaga, the immortal Russian Forest, Hellboy faces a ton of cool foes right from real mythology and legend. I can't say I completely recognize all the legend references here but that doesn't matter for the sake of sheer enjoyment. Indeed, the pacing on this one is pretty much nonstop action and twist with a really huge bite of Hellboy's old foes. We've got witches, Hood of the hanging fame, Hecate and an army of skeletons, the spirit of the forest, Baba Yaga... but honestly, I was most thrilled by Koshchei the Deathless. The only other time I read about Koshchei the Deathless was in a Cat Valente novel and now I'm pretty stoked to learn a lot more, and not just because of how he was portrayed here. What a tragic piece! no reviews | add a review

Hellboy has finally returned from his adventures at sea, but no sooner has he settled on land than a conclave of witches drags him from his respite and into the heart of Russian folklore, where he becomes the quarry of the powerful and bloodthirsty witch Baba Yaga. Bent on revenge for the eye she had lost to Hellboy, Baba Yaga has enlisted the aid of a deathless warrior who will stop at nothing to destroy Hellboy. No library descriptions found. |
