Hellboy #2

In "Der Teufel erwacht, Kapitel Eins," Hellboy and a team of BUAP agents are dispatched to Romania to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a corpse linked to the long-buried Nazi project Ragnarök. The trail leads through ancient secrets, a shadowy figure from the past, and a web of connections that stretch from a forgotten Norwegian base to a stolen relic in New York.

In "Der Teufel erwacht, Kapitel Zwei," Hellboy's brutal fight with the Unmensch drags him beneath the ruins of Burg Giurescu, where he confronts the skeletal, dying father of a vampire—his tale of blood and transformation a grim revelation. Above, Ilsa Hauptstein is haunted by the ghost of Rasputin, while a hidden community warns of ancient threats from scripture, as the Ogdru-Jahad stirs in silence.

In "Der Teufel erwacht, Kapitel Drei," Hellboy faces off against Hekate’s minions and a weakened Giurescu, while Rasputin shares the eerie truth of his rebirth with Ilsa. Elsewhere, Liz stumbles upon a lifeless Homunkulus in a forgotten Romanian castle, her pyrokinetic touch igniting an unexpected spark of life. As Hellboy readies Giurescu’s castle for destruction and Zinco delivers Von Klempt’s preserved head to Norway, the threads of ancient power tighten across Europe.

In "Der Teufel erwacht, Kapitel Vier," Hellboy’s battle with Hekate ends in chaos as Schloss Giurescu explodes, leaving Abe Sapien and Clark to witness the aftermath from afar. As the dust settles, Rasputin receives an iron maiden from Baba Yaga’s aide Koku, and Ilsa steps inside on his urging—while Kurtz is slain by mysterious crowns. The villagers pull the unconscious Hellboy from the ruins to a crossroads, where he confronts Rasputin in a moment that sets the stage for what comes next.

In "Der Teufel erwacht, Kapitel Fünf," Hellboy follows a cryptic signal to a haunted Romanian church, where he confronts the vengeful spirit of Rasputin—now bound to Abe Sapien. As Giurescu and Hekate stand in his path, Hecate reveals a dark truth about Hellboy’s fate as Anung un Rama, the beast of the Apocalypse, while a masked stranger and Dagda watch from the shadows. Just as the weight of destiny presses in, Kate Corrigan arrives, bringing urgent news of what’s happened to the other teams.

In the shadowed depths of the underworld, Grigori Rasputin encounters the enigmatic Baba Yaga, guardian of forgotten relics and secrets—among them, the heart that still beats with his dark will. Though she offers him sanctuary, he refuses, his gaze fixed on a purpose that burns even in death.
