B.P.R.D.

From 2003 to 2010, Dark Horse Comics expanded Mike Mignola's Hellboy universe with this 14-issue series, chronicling the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense as it carried on without its most famous agent. Written primarily by John Arcudi, Mignola, and Christopher Golden, with art anchored by Mignola, Guy Davis, and Kevin Nowlan, the book deepened the mythology around core team members like Abraham Sapien, Liz Sherman, and Johann Kraus. It established the B.P.R.D. as a compelling ensemble in its own right, shifting the focus from a single hero to the strange, often tragic, camaraderie of those who fight the apocalypse.
