Picking up some of the final untidy strings from Hellboy in Hell and BPRD, Mignola returns to Pandemonium(the capital city of Hell) to tell the tale of what happened after Hellboy killed Satan and threw down the armies of the fly. That doesn't seem like a plot that really needs tidying does it? And truth be told there aren't many substantial strings left untied which does give the whole plot of having to stop Pluto(the Greek god, not the dog) from filling the gap in power a slightly flat sense. It's Hell after all, how much worse could it be with some one else in charge? That said, lack of real dread aside the adventure that Koshchei embarks upon to "save" Hell is otherwise off to a fun start. Despite the location, it has a fittingly fairytale mood to it that gives you a real sense of nostalgia, even if you're not familiar with Koshchei's convoluted tale. There's a warmth here as Koshchei puts down his book, belts on his sword and reluctantly takes off to sea looking for adventure, the reluctant and unexpected hero called to action one last time is a well known trope but it feels good to see it again here. I don't know where Mignola is going with Pluto taking over his old domain, but I'm sure the clash of old world and new world mythologies will be interesting to see.
