Hellboy is headed back to the world of movies very soon, with Hellboy: The Crooked Man set to premiere in just a matter of weeks. For fans looking to catch up on the franchise’s one-of-a-kind comic world, while also raising money for a good cause, a new Humble Bundle is here to help.

What Is Hellboy: The Crooked Man About?
In Hellboy: The Crooked Man, stranded in 1950s rural Appalachia, Hellboy and a rookie BPRD agent discover a small community haunted by witches, led by the Crooked Man, a local devil with a troubling connection to Hellboy’s past. Hellboy: The Crooked Man stars Jack Kesy in the titular role. Jefferson White, Adeline Rudolph, Joseph Marcell, Leah McNamara, Hannah Margetson, and Martin Bassindale will also star. Hellboy: The Crooked Man is produced by Millennium Films, and is set to be released by Ketchup Entertainment. Taylor, Mignola, and Christopher Golden co-wrote the script.
“[My favorite thing was] to see how close it is to the comics. There are several shots in there that are panels from the comics and your fear is always, especially when you say it’s gotta be my favorite story, that it’s going to lose something,” Mignola told Screen Rant at San Diego Comic-Con. “But all my favorite moments from the comic are in there. I mean, you’re holding your breath as you’re watching this. I actually got to watch, I didn’t go on set, but I saw dailies, and you’re just going, ‘I can’t believe this! Oh my God, you got it in there and is it going to stay in there when they cut the movie?'”
Hellboy: The Crooked Man will be released on September 27th.
