B.P.R.D.: 1948 #4

The penultimate chapter of this five-part Hellboy spinoff series arrives with a genuinely unsettling Dave Johnson cover: a pale, sharp-featured figure in a dark coat looms forward, blood at his lips and a glowing red sigil blazing at his chest, while a massive flock of black birds swirls ominously around him. Mike Mignola, John Arcudi, Max Fiumara, and Dave Stewart bring their considerable talents to this postwar chapter of B.P.R.D. history, and the tension building toward the finale is palpable. With one issue left to go, this is exactly the kind of atmospheric, dread-soaked Dark Horse storytelling that makes the Hellboy universe so compelling.
