A dark, action-heavy supernatural adventure that blends mythological horror with comic-book irreverence, centered on a demon's struggle against apocalyptic fate.

Hellboy comes to England, where he must defeat Nimue, Merlin's consort and the Blood Queen. But their battle will bring about the end of the world, a fate he desperately tries to turn away.
