There are two main story lines here - in one we follow Liz as she tries to hide from the world by living in trailer park only to find herself in a truly bad spot when frogs start coming in again.

In second story line Abe and BPRD try to find the mysterious girl that seems to be a precog - she is capable of identifying unsafe spots where monsters roam and keep her group safe while traveling to Colorado.

In the background you have lots of other things going on - Devon bickering against Abe because of the events in last volume of Plague of Frogs (Black Flame's speech) and Abe deciding to move on and get away from people like Devon by going to the field and fighting the monsters unleashed during the frog invasion. Also we start seeing various apocalyptic cults rising across the country with the goal to embrace the mutations caused by invasion of frogs.

So all in all great story line. Art is gorgeous as it seems to be the case in general for Hellboy Universe comics.

I am reading this backwards in a way (having read the conclusion arc first .... yay) but quality of story is great. You truly do not lose anything by knowing how things are going to end. Truly excellent story. It reminds me very much of Warhammer story-arc in it that everybody knows how things are going to end but story and events, sacrifices and characters are what keeps you turning just one more page.

Recommended to fans of Hellboy, BPRD and survival horror in general :) ( )

First half: wow, Abe is really being a jerk. Second half: wow, I feel like a jerk. ( )

Ack – what a ride. Hell on Earth is an accurate description of this apocalyptic story from BPRD. I was slightly off kilter not having read volume 1 but this volume let me catch up and enjoy the story. I can’t wait for volume 3. Looks like I’m going to have to do some serious graphic novel shopping. So many good tales lately. This one focused on Abe and Liz. Abe is hunting a teenager who seems to be one step ahead of the disasters while Liz is in hiding and discovers no matter how much you try to stay away, it will always find you. I like Liz but I wish she was a more sure character. If you are a Hellboy or BPRD fan – this is a great story line. It’s filled with possessed humans, huge monsters and a secret race that may prove powerful enough to destroy the world. ( )
