The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense is now under the control of the United Nations. Abe Sapien is one of the best the bureau has. The U.N. has stricter guidelines for the B.P.R.D. (don’t you love all the acronyms), and that means investigating bogus leads and dead ends, just to make sure. Abe Sapien does not like wasting his time and wants to be focusing on more serious investigations - and that's exactly what he's about to face.
In this issue, Director Corrigan is running things at the B.P.R.D. Headquarters in Colorado. She has Abe Sapien and a team of agents looking into a possible death cult and some rituals that have been rumored to be happening in Washington State. Once, the dead end is confirmed as a fraternity hazing, Abe Sapien heads north to Canada where a small town in British Columbia has had some mysterious disappearances recently. Alone, Abe follows the trail to a forest at night and realizes too late that it was a bad idea.
Mike Mignola, John Arcudi, and Guy Davis bring us a great story and artwork for this new period in the B.P.R.D. world. I really like the use of dreary colors and lack of sharp cornersto illustrate the mood of the agents of the B.P.R.D. and how they are continuing on after the takeover by the U.N. and the fallout from the War of Frogs. Hell on Earth #2 hits comic shops on September 4, 2010.
