Hard to believe this chapter of the B.P.R.D. is over. I'm extremely excited for B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know come July.

Hell on Earth comes to an end with the BPRD vs. the Ogdru Jahad, one of the seven great beings. Everything shrinks to insignificance as fresh kaiju spawn by the hour and a true god of the monsters treads upon a world that can not possibly seem to withstand this latest catastrophe. And yet, our heroes will sally forth, even though not all will survive. But rest assured, the exits we see here are as satisfying as they are heartbreaking. Note; this is Arcudi’s last volume, and he sends himself off with a flourish, indeed.

Man, what a finale.

I wont go into details but level of casualties is tremendous. Varvara strikes in a worst possible way and she does remain a mystery - considering no management down below, her actions against the dragon, what exactly is her goal? Johan finally, finally, confirmed his role as a true hero. His conversation with the previous Sledgehammer are moving and it is interesting to see Johann trying to fight off the seduction of just letting go (especially when one considers how vain he was and antagonistic when he lost his "good-looks" body).

Rise of titans and clash with dragon [they created] was fantastic action sequence, truly epic.

All in all fantastic finale, with realistic (at least as much as realistic it can be in this setting) ending. There is no happy end, at least not for majority.

Recommended to fans of BPRD, Hellboy universe and world mythology.

What an amazing end to Hell on Earth and this chapter of BPRD. It honestly could have stood on its own as an end to the entire series.

I don't know if this series could have ended any more unsatisfactorily. Shortly after the switch from BPRD to Hell on Earth I started losing interest in the characters as the story telling became more and more perfunctory and less inspired as it trudged on, but it did have enough moments to keep me going. I am going to have to recommend if anyone asks just don't bother with the Hell on Earth series, it diminishes how brilliant the series used to be when it was just BPRD.
