HA! Jokes on Koshchei, because he’s fucking dead! I feel like Koshchei has one of those names that if you don’t hear it said properly the first time you’re going to butcher it forever or find something similar to it to call him. Like Cold Seat. Or John Koltrane, but nowhere near as talented. Anyway, Kochete takes place in the Mignolaverse of course. I am unfamiliar with the character, but the solicits indicate that he was once a throne in Hellboy’s ass. Now, he’s dead and having a drink with Hellboy, in hell, telling him his life story.

Comic book characters have been a big part of people’s lives since early childhood, whether they realize it or not. They also may not have been introduced through the medium of comic books either, as these characters have gone on to excel in other areas too. There have been a vast amount of TV shows, films and various games based on the likes of Superman, Batman, and Spiderman over the years; so you could say it’s games in their various forms, where comic book characters have really hit dizzy heights.
