Stories

  • Wake the Devil [Chapter Five] · 24 pages

    Hellboy's signal is traced to a Romanian church, where Rasputin confronts Abe and speaks of revenge against those who killed him. Giurescu and then Hecate face Hellboy at the crossroads. Hecate tells him about his destiny as Anung un Rama, the Beast of the Apocalypse, a mysterious cloaked figure, and Dagda look on. Kate Corrigan arrives to extract Hellboy and tell him what has befallen the other teams. Rasputin appears at the Norwegian castle headquarters of Project Ragna Rok and strikes Zinco blind, causing him to stumble into a detonator that destroys the castle.

  • Grave [Part 5]: "Like One, That on a Lonesome Road Doth Walk in Fear and Dread, and Having Once Turned Round Walks On, and Turns No More His Head; Because He Knows, a Frightful Fiend Doth Close Behind Him Tread." · The MonsterMen · 8 pages

    The supernatural conflagration of Benedict and McGrew's melee destroys Adler's house. St. George is disappointed in Sunset's disbelief after all she's seen, but a final encounter with Daphne's spirit compels her to report as much of the story as possible. Benedict tells St. George to brace for more encounters with the forces of darkness.
