Broke Horror Fan is excited to share an exclusive preview of Koshchei in Hell’s the final issue, which will be published on April 5 via Dark Horse Comics.
Set in the Hellboy universe, the four-part miniseries is written by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, illustrated by frequent collaborator Ben Stenbeck, and colored by Dave Stewart.
Koshchei was first introduced in 2007's Hellboy: Darkness Calls and was later the subject of 2018's Koshchei the Deathless. Koshchei in Hell picks up after the events of the 2021 one-off, Sir Edward Grey: Acheron.
Koshchei's sojourn through Hell intensifies! After being betrayed by Hell's last demon, an exhausted Koshchei is ready to give up . . . But someone from his distant past appears to help him answer for his crimes and, in doing so, prepare him for his next phase of existence.

Author: @hansbekhart Date: 2016-01-22 Chapters: 1/1 (2724 words)  Fandom: Captain America (Movies) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Natasha Romanov, James "Bucky" Barnes Additional Tags: Captain America: Civil War Speculation, Canon-Typical Violence, Bucky Barnes in a cage, Natasha Romanov in a glass cage of emotion, Never pity a man Summary:
He’s still wearing the clothes they caught him in. A long sleeved red shirt, a pair of dark jeans. They’ve taken his jacket, and his shoes and socks. His bare feet are pale, with little smatterings of dark hair across the top of them. His toes are long, and incongruously human looking. Even after years of knowing Steve, she’s still never been sure he is - human, that is - and standing in front of the thick glass her memories get tangled up with the last time she did something like this. But that monster had stood fully clothed, and she’s seen this one chained more often than not.
Bookmarker's Notes:
A moment of recognition, of hope, and a scary amount of competence: a far more interesting situation than canon CW (Steve/Bucky mentioned)

Hellboy’s Koshchei the Deathless Gets Own Mini-Series
Tumblr media
Koshchei the Deathless is getting his own four-issue miniseries at Dark Horse Comics. Koshchei in Hell hails from creator Mike Mignola, artist Ben Stenbeck, and colorist Dave Stewart.
In Hellboy: Darkness Calls, Baba Yaga sent Koshchei to kill Hellboy. “Now, in this new series, Koshchei is still in Hell content with his wine and his books—until an old associate arrives and brings Koshchei a critical task. An ancient and powerful foe is returning, and Koshchei must take up his sword to defend Pandemonium from destruction.” (Dark Horse Comics)
Koshchei in Hell #1 (of 4) goes on sale on November 30, 2022.

Tamara Shevaryova's illustration for russian tale "Marya Morevna".
Koshchei the Deathless is an archetypal male antagonist in Russian folklore.
The most common feature of tales involving Koschei is a spell which prevents him from being killed. He hides "his death" inside nested objects to protect it. For example, his death may be hidden in a needle that is hidden inside an egg, the egg is in a duck, the duck is in a hare, the hare is in a chest, the chest is buried or chained up on a far island. Usually he takes the role of a malevolent rival figure, who competes for (or entraps) a male hero's love interest.
The origin of the tales is unknown. The archetype may contain elements derived from the 12th-century pagan Cuman-Kipchak (Polovtsian) leader Khan Konchak, who is recorded in The Tale of Igor's Campaign; over time a balanced view of the non-Christian Cuman Khan may have been distorted or caricatured by Christian Slavic writers.

I mean to the Hive what Toland said about our Ghost is kinda correct!
They find a corpse, "steal" its death, and store it inside itself.
In a roundabout way through that logic we're a scifi retelling of Koshchei the Deathless
YEAH!!! It's such a cool parallel and something that I wonder might actually be related — similar to the deathsong being reverse-engineered from the Traveler's "song of creation", I wonder if the Traveler was aware of the concept of oversouls and got the idea from it, or whether they share some common paracausal ancestry.
I never considered the Koshchei comparison before but I'll be thinking about it now............. especially with Sav purposefully separating herself from her Ghost. HM.....
