I know that a lot of people prefer the B.P.R.D. series to the regular Hellboy title. I'm in the opposite boat. It's not just the lack of Mignola's art, either. The way the story is told, the scope of it, the approach, it just doesn't hit straight to my own interests and obsessions quite so neatly as Hellboy always does.

After Mignola's heydey in the last few volumes, it's only fair the John Acrudi's writing gets a chance to shine, and shine it does. All the while, he was priming Captain Daimio to evolve into a more interesting character, and golly does he EVER. This book changes up the already shaky dynamics with the team again, losing them (at least for now) another key team member, and disintegrating the trust between Abe and Johann, the latter of whom takes this opportunity, at the worst possible time, to ch...more

Again, Guy Davis is a star here and, thanks to the writers, the characters are suitably complex and mutable by the events of things. This does feature additional background on the character of Panya, whom I like a great deal. So there is a lot that should be going right here. HOWEVER...
There is a definite gap in between Volume 7 and 8 -- especially for Johann -- that is rather weakly glossed over in a panel or two. The locked-room/ ALIEN-esque chase scenes provide suitable atmosphe...more

Cranks the crazy up a couple more notches in an already fantastically insane story
Wow, the cover implied blood will be spilled, and by Ogdru Jahad there is. Lots of blood.
And heartbreak for one of the most loved members of BPRD.
This series gets better and better.

The best written and illustrated comic series being written today. Mignola writes some great plots, I believe Arcudi is the one who fleshes them out and Guy Davis is my favorite artist.
A LOT happens in this one, too much to fit in a single volume. And I'm really starting to miss the simplicity of Mike Mignola's artwork. That being said, the development of the individual characters is interesting and I'm still waiting anxiously to see what happens next...
Couldn't quite figure out what was happening. So the zombie guy was possessed by the jaguar demon who set free the Wendigo because?
Obviously quite far in to the comic book run, this collection. Not entirely sure what was happening. I'll need to go back and order the first few volumes
Lesser than the rest, but better than most.
If you've been following the B.P.R.D. up until now, you know to expect a quality horror/supernatural story. This volume is no different. There are nice character moments and revelations, and the rough quality of Guy Davis’ art, as usual, fits the tone well. The story is a bit choppy, though, and some of the anatomy is off, which meant I enjoyed Killing Ground slightly less than previous volumes. Still, if you’re a B.P.R.D. fan, you won’t want to miss this.
I enjoyed this one for the most part. Not as much as Garden of Souls, but still fun. Lots of action, and as much gore as the title implies.
A few things didn't work for me, mainly Johann whoring it up and the feeling that a lot of previous plot pieces have been mushed together for convenience.
What else negative can I say about a book with a jaguar-demon, a wendigo, and a 3000-year old Egyptian who loves cats? I like Panya and hope she'll stay on for a bit.

C'est la gana-confusion au nouveau qg du bprd après y avoir ramené le wendigo, la momie et Johan dans son nouveau corps bodybuildé. Beaucoup d'infos sur les secrets de Benjamin Daimio
Troppa carne al fuoco questa volta. Poteva uscirne un menù spettacolare, invece gli chef si lasciano prendere la mano e qualche pietanza non è cotta a dovere...
