I don't know how this will resonate with first time readers, but for those who've been following Liz's journey for a few years, Christmas came a week early. Highest possible recommendation. Read Full Review

This was a great arc, all said and done, and its seemingly going to lead to something even better. The Black Flame is back, and the B.P.R.D. is heading to New York for the first time since the world went to hell. Color this reviewer excited, and strap yourselves in for some B.P.R.D. magic from one of the best teams in comics today. Read Full Review

Overall, B.P.R.D continues to impress, and prove that although Hellboy might be what draws fans in, it's the larger Universe that will make them stay. Read Full Review

A solid issue to cap off what has been an informative and entertaining story arc. Looking very much forward to 2014 and the forth coming Reign of the Black Flame. Read Full Review

The artwork is decent, if overly stylized, with the artist falling back on very cartoony, near-emoticon facial designs, and there are enough gradient and speed line backgrounds to be overused. This review was a mistake; I honestly hope to find something new to say about Mignola's work, but I really don't know what I can add that I haven't thoroughly expounded upon previously. The story is dank and joyless, with no deeper meaning to justify its own unpleasantness, the characters are generally ciphers who worship inaction more than Spawn (you know it's true), and the whole enterprise just feels empty, even after all the work I'll have put in reading the book, re-reading it, and writing and formatting this review, I feel zero personal connection to this comic beyond just a dull throbbing pain where my sensation of fun and enjoyment for this series used to be. Not recommended. Read Full Review
