I love ALL of Mike Mignola's works, so I happily added this volume to my ever-growing collection of Hellboy and BPRD materials. Keep up the good work!

This is one huge horror movie of a book. They get away from the frogs for a while to focus on some character development (Johan might be my new favorite guy) and to fight some monsters loose in the headquarters. There is the usual paranormal activity going on, but it's not the focus this time, just the backdrop. Lots of death and blood and gore, lots of people splitting up for the wrong reasons, lots of classic horror devices employed. It felt a lot like Aliens. Guy Davis' art is amazing as it always is. My only complaint would be the last issues that felt more like a summary than a wrap up.

This is Guy Davis at his best. A must read for Hellboy fans and newcomers to the BPRD titles. The characters are very well written and continue to mature as the title continues to expand. The story is involving ad the art work is awe inspiring. I couldn't imagine anyone else trying to capture the unique creepy edge that these characters possess other than Davis. A true classic of modern day pop culture.

Some exciting stuff going down at the BPRD. Great story and amazing art as always.
