*Monsters are killing civilians in the Utah desert, leading Professor Bruttenholm to recall the last time a government operation cracked open reality to unleash something from another world: Project Ragna Rok. *Source: darkhorse.com
*Simon Anders is loosing his grip on sanity due to the spirits of the two vampiric Brezina sisters locked in his being. His rages have earned him a night in the brig, and not even Bruttenholm can get through to him. Anna Rieu advances the concept that the nuclear explosions have opened a gateway to another dimension, thru which the monsters are entering, an idea which the corpses of the beasts makes plausible. Bruttenholm shares with her the incident which brought Hellboy into this world, which is proof of her concept. The story does anything but put Anna at ease; on the contrary, Bruttenholm's confession that he is raising Hellboy as if he were his own child fills her with dread. Archie Muraro informs Hellboy that the President is coming for a visit, and puts him on notice of best behavior. *Source: Warlock.
