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.

July 13, 2017

Press Release

From Baba Yaga and Hecate, to the Black Flame and the Queen of Blood, Mike Mignola’s legendary Hellboy and the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense have battled some of the most dangerous and despicable demons and villains in all of comics. In advance of San Diego Comic Con 2017, Dark Horse Comics is revealing three new titles for the strange, shared Mignolaverse of comic books and graphic novels comprised of Hellboy & the BPRD, Abe Sapien, BPRD, Lobster Johnson and Witchfinder, with all three new titles focusing on villains. With stories by Eisner award-winning artist Adam Hughes—who is illustrating his first ever Mignolaverse story, iZOMBIE co-creator Chris Roberson, and acclaimed Mignolaverse artists Christopher Mitten and Ben Stenbeck, the three new titles will explore the secret origins of two classic villains, Koshchei the Deathless and Rasputin, and introduce the Krampus into Hellboy’s odd world of fantasy and folklore.
