    This issue had so much to enjoy: old and new characters playing together, lots of forward progress with a fair dose of looking back, and some truly creepy shit. My only fear is that Mignola and co. are biting off a lot here; let's hope they don't choke on it. Read Full Review

    Lots of questions and not a lot of answers in B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth The Return of the Master #1. But it feels like all of those lose ends and vagrant stories are coming together, and with this series Dark Horse has finally thrust a stake in the ground and said The End Starts Here.

    Mike Mignola and John Arcudi knock another issue out of the park. I cant wait for “Hell on Earth” to really start unraveling. Read Full Review

    I enjoyed the issue, but I was really hoping for something that would blow my mind. It’s called “Return of the Master” for fuck’s sake, how heavy metal of a title is that? Instead of coming out and the bass being so loud that my heart’s rhythm changed, it was like hearing Metallica on the radio and not finding anything better to change it to. I could continue with the heavy metal references, but I doubt it would contribute to the review. If you’ve been reading B.P.R.D. then unfortunately you need to read this issue as it connects a lot of dots from previous stories, but other than that it’s not very amazing but could have been.
