Hellboy #3/5: Buđenje đavola
Vladimir Giurescu rises from his coffin, confronting Hellboy with a vampire and his supernatural protectors. As Rasputin recruits an ally, Liz Sherman discovers a mysterious homunculus among castle ruins.
In the third chapter of Wake the Devil, Hellboy’s search for Vladimir Giurescu becomes a direct confrontation with the awakened vampire. Inside the crypt, he must fight the mysterious women of Thessaly while Giurescu returns to life. The vampire’s transformations and Hecate’s protection reveal that defeating him will require more than an apparently decisive blow.
Meanwhile, Rasputin shares elements of his past with Ilsa Haupstein and offers her the possibility of rebirth. Their encounter connects Nazi occult ambitions with much older powers. Elsewhere in Romania, Liz Sherman, Bud Waller and Sidney Leach explore the ruins of Czege Castle. They discover an inert humanoid figure, but Liz’s touch triggers a dangerous transfer of energy.
Mike Mignola develops several parallel threats, bringing together vampire horror, ancient mythology and the alchemical idea of artificially created life. Hellboy’s strength is tested by enemies beyond conventional rules, while his colleagues’ discoveries create dangers of their own. This third instalment quickens the pace and sets events in motion for the concluding chapters.
