It might be a side-step as far as the big plotlines are concerned, but quality-wise this is a must-read after finishing the "Hellboy in Hell" arc (but not before, as it spoils it thoroughly). This epic fairy tale backtracks throughout the continuity of the world as it follows the titular character through his life up to and past his encounter with Hellboy in "Darkness Calls". Strongly recommended to anyone who has read far enough into the Hellboy mythos to reach it. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Mignola returns to Hell and to the bizarre folklore that's filled some of his greatest books, reuniting with one of his favorite collaborators, Ben Stenbeck (Frankenstein Underground, Witchfinder: In The Service of Angels, Baltimore). Sent to kill Hellboy by the Baba Yaga in Darkness Calls, Koshchei the Deathless hinted at a long and tragic life before being enslaved to the Russian witch. Now Koshchei relives every horrible act on his road to immortality and beyond, with none other than his one-time enemy Hellboy himself-in a bar in Hell. Also collects bonus material.

No, it ain't beginning of the joke, this is how this story actually starts.
Koshchei starts from the very beginning and we witness his raise as a warrior, betrayals that brought him into contact with supernatural, first with the ancient dragon and then Baba Yaga, trickster that manages to bind him to her own will and use him as a tool, culminating with Koshchei's attack on Hellboy and his ultimate demise.
It is very difficult not to be at least little bit sympathetic to Koshchei - after becoming for all means and purposes immortal he was still easily manipulated and made to turn on those closest to him. it is not that he is stupid but that he is bored and very much bad-tempered.
Art as it is always case with Hellboy comics is great. Story is more or less rehash of original Hellboy story-line with some additional details so if you are already familiar with the original this book might not be that attractive. On the other hand if you came across this book and did not know what this was all about [like it was case with me] you will enjoy it.
