 BPRD Hell on Earth Devils Engine #1 (2012) $4.50 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Mike Mignola, John Arcudi (A) Tyler Crook (CA) Dave Stewart, Duncan Fegredo Caught between bat-faced monsters, a devastating earthquake, and the mad science experiments of Zinco, Devon and Fenix form an uneasy alliance in order to get to safety! Date Available: 05/16/2012 BONUS REVIEW by Gary Owens  The world of the B.P.R.D. is an on-going train, with mini-series after mini-series offering vignettes and capsules into its larger world beyond. For those who don't know, Hellboy has left the B.P.R.D. and now has immense trouble of his own, to say the least; he doesn't appear in this comic, and won't in this series. These mini-series work by themselves, but admittedly are best understood in the larger context, which means buying trades to catch up. Why bother? Because Mike Mignola is one of the best comic writer's out there: he knows pacing (man, he's a master at it. Comics would be better if more copied him); he's original (the War on Frogs?); and he's knows how to make terror simmer (think Rosemary's Baby). The art fits, too, and coupled with Dave Stewart colors really knocks my shoes off. This issue, I think, explains itself. You would think taking a train away from Apocalypse would be easy, but who says? 8 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
