* Koshchei The Deathless #1 - I've been wanting to find an in to starting to read Hellboy for a long time, hoping this is it.
Koshchei appeared in one Hellboy story a few years back, but from the description I don’t think you'll need to have read that to enjoy this series. But if were to recommend a starting point, I'd say start with one of the short story collections. Those stories generally don’t tie heavily into the continuity of the overarching plotline, they’re good standalone stories, and most of them are a lot of fun.
What I'm looking for is to buy something *current* to see if I want to jump-in to the overarching plot. I don't want to start from Hellboy #1, or even something written in 2010. So if something else comes up in a solicitation that is more standalone be sure to recommend it to me :)
You might be better served starting with the Hellboy Christmas Special that will be coming out in December then. It's a one-shot and will be pure Hellboy.
