At WonderCon 2008 Dark Horse Comics débuted the 16 page prequel to the Movie Hell Boy II: The Golden Army.

HELLBOY: THE GOLDEN ARMY is a 16-page comic that details the rise of The Golden Army--the indestructible force that Hellboy and his team in the BPRD fight in Universal Pictures' upcoming action-thriller Hellboy II: The Golden Army

They also published the first five pages [read them here]. The artwork is compelling and the story gives an explanation to the origins of the Golden Army telling us who created it, what the golden army is and why it was created!
