BPRD KING OF FEAR #1 (OF 5)

After the defeat of the mystic Memnan Saa, the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense — on the outs with the United States government after the bloodstained rescue of Liz Sherman — embarks to the Ural Mountains, the site of B.P.R.D.: Hollow Earth, to put the frog menace to rest once and for all.

Meanwhile, Kate Corrigan heads to Hunte Castle in Austria, where Hellboy killed the Conqueror Worm, on her own rescue mission — to save ectoplasmic special agent Johann Kraus, possessed by the ghost of Lobster Johnson.

Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi, and drawn by 2009 Eisner winner Guy Davis, B.P.R.D.: King of Fear wraps up the Scorched Earth trilogy, which started with The Warning and The Black Goddess.

  1. Going to try BPRD again, heres hoping I love it.

  2. Man, they’re just cranking these out. Seems like almost every week there is one or two Hellboy titles. Nice job!

  3. Thinking about jumping on….

  4. Can’t wait.

  5. Thinking of switching back to trade on these.

  6. I’m only up to trade #5, but I think I’ll get this anyway. I did the same thing with Hellboy so hopefully I’ll be okay.

  7. @Grandturk: I did exactly that. i can only talk for myself but i enjoy it much more that way

  8. reading these monthy is too exciting, i could not trade wait. It would be torture.

  9. The Hellboy universe is awesome, glad I jumped on with 1947. Really a great universe with lots of humor.

  10. Perfect.

  11. This was my runner up POW. The payoff begins for longtime readers of BPRD. Everything about this arc feels huge and the first issue certainly was 5/5. Guy Davis drawing Hellboy really rocks too!

  12. What a great kick off to what is sure to be a great arc.
