B.P.R.D.: Being Human

In this single-issue B.P.R.D. one-shot from Dark Horse, Mike Mignola and Scott Allie team with artist Karl Moline to explore the quiet, human moments between the Bureau's monstrous battles. Released in 2011, the story steps away from the epic Hellboy universe mythology to focus on the emotional weight carried by the agents—particularly the inhuman ones—as they grapple with what it means to be, or to try to be, human. It's a character-driven, introspective entry that deepens the B.P.R.D. world by slowing down to examine its most personal costs.
