Item Biography
"The Storm, Part 3 of 3"
*In a country pub whose logo is the Holy Grail, Hellboy and Alice sit surrounded by an undead army of British knights who await Hellboy's command. Hellboy tells Alice that he won't command them, nor will he bear Excalibur in the coming battle, leaving Alice despondent. As Hellboy makes his way through the woods to Nimue's stronghold, he comes across the accursed Gruagach, who has attempted to hang himself out of despair, but Merlin's curse will not let him die. Next, Hellboy is approached by Astaroth, in disguise, who councils Hellboy that he can never reach Nimue's castle through her army without embracing his fate, by raising Excalibur and waking his army of undead knights. Hellboy rebuffs him, and continues on, only to be met by Baba Yaga, who offers to fly Hellboy to Nimue's castle, but only if Hellboy will settle the score by offering one of his eyes to replace the one he destroyed in Baba Yaga many years ago. Hellboy complies. In her castle, Nimue prays to the Ogdru Jahad, unaware that the dragon is finally free from its prison, and is now planning to manifest itself in Nimue's body. Nimue discovers this, but too late. *Source: Warlock
**The long--awaited follow--up to 2009's The Wild Hunt comes to a terrible crossroads, when Hellboy cuts a deal with the devious Baba Yaga that may secure the survival of mankind, but will change his life forever, and the Queen of Blood discovers that the source of her power has unexpected plans for her.**Source: darkhorse.com
