When ancient giants begin to rise from their graves across England, Hellboy is invited to join a mysterious group called the Wild Hunt and help bring them down. But the hunt leads to betrayal, and Hellboy finds himself up against enemies as angry about what he is as what he's done. 'The fading children of the earth' gather in the shadows, waiting for the promised return of the Queen of Blood, and a chance to once again 'shake the trees, crack mountains, and make the daytime world weep in fear.'

Hot on the heels of the 2008 summer film release Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Mike Mignola and Duncan Fegredo reunite with the follow-up to events set in motion in their 2007 Hellboy miniseries Darkness Calls.
