Editorial Review:
The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense faces its worst tragedy ever as the war against the plague of frogs reaches a devastating new level. Heralded by a bizarre villain from the B.P.R.D.'s past, an ancient monster-god marches across the American heartland portending an end to the reign of men, and leaving a permanent mark on the Bureau. Hellboy-creator Mike Mignola continues his collaboration with artist Guy Davis and co-writer John Arcudi to unravel a tale that will leave the earth shaken and the B.P.R.D. shattered. This collection includes a sketchbook section chronicling Guy Davis's creation of the abominations unleashed in The Black Flame.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - World War Frog begins
If you've come this far, you know what Hellboy and BPRD is all about, so onto Black Flame. It's probably the most action intense Hellboy story of all time, with oodles of pages of our heroes blowing frog demons to tiny pieces with very large guns. The scale of the story is impressive, and by the end of it the whole world realizes they are in some deep, deep trouble, hammered home by the death of a favorite character. It's got all the snappy dialog, character development, and 'feel' of prior stories ... Read More
Rating: - Another excellent entry into the BPRD storyline
Though these BPRD collections may seem to be stand-alone (they each collect a 6-issue mini-series of the same name), they really must be read in order starting with Vol. 3 for the entire Plague of Frogs storyline. I started with Vol. 4 because I found it cheap and wanted to give Guy Davis a chance, quickly fell in love, and have now just ordered Vol. 6 (after having bought and read through Vol. 3 and 5).
Guy Davis' art really adds a lot to this story. He designs these nightmarish creatures ... Read More
Rating: - Graphic SF Reader
The war against the frog monsters has ratcheted up, and casulaties are being taken left, right, and centre, including one of the B.P.R.D..
Both the organisation and military support are getting slaughtered, and they have to find a way to take out one of the Ogdoru-Hem, as well as deal with the crazed nazi guy and his Black Flame skull head armor, who thinks he can control everything.
Rating: - Great story, amazing artwork
This is easily one of the best if not the best BRPD book out to date. Lets get over the whole deal with Mignola and Hellboy and stop acting like this book isnt good enough on its own. To be honest the stories here are better than any of the Hellboy tales and Guy Davis is a wonderful artist who has taken over the reigns on these characters and made them his own. Im honestly amazed to see 2 bad reviews from people who claim to be fans of these characters. Stunned in fact since this a great book and I cant see ... Read More
Rating:  - BPRD is wonderful!
I've been following BPRD since the very beginning and feel that I can say with all sincerity, that this series gets better and better with each new story! The TPB's are absolutely the way to go if you don't frequent comic stores (which I do). So do yourself a favor and purchase all of the TPB's, kick back in an easy chair with a stock of time set aside, and enjoy these bad boys to your hearts content!
