B.P.R.D. Omnibus #2

From the World of Hellboy, this B.P.R.D. Omnibus Volume 2 collects a substantial stretch of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense's dark adventures, brought together by the combined talents of Mike Mignola, John Arcudi, Guy Davis, John Severin, Herb Trimpe, Peter Snejbjerg, Karl Moline, Dave Stewart, and Bjarne Hansen. The cover, rendered in brooding blues and blacks, presents a lone BPRD-badged figure standing resolute amid a swirling darkness populated by grotesque creatures and dominated by an eerie glowing skull — atmospheric shorthand for the supernatural dread this series does so well. At $29.99, it's a generous gateway into one of Dark Horse's most compelling paranormal universes.
