What a conclusion to the series.

I especially liked the way characters get fleshed out - Kate, ever protecting, mother of the team, Liz Sheridan coping with her pyrotechnic power and Memnan Saa's depiction of the incoming doom, Abe feeling all down because he can sense something is coming but he cannot put his finger on it so he soldiers on, Roger's death heavily burdening him, Davon, the ultimate scholar/skeptic but one that truly tries helping the team and Johann ... man this guy is so egoistic and self-centered it is beyond belief.

Finally I now understand how Abe started to receive all kind of hate from BPRD team that forced him to go on solo journey to come to terms on what he became - Black Flame's prediction of future truly spoiled the relationship between Abe and BPRD team. I need to read books in sequence from now on :)

Also joining of forces between the frogs and King of Fear's people now lead by pretty crazed up Black Flame shows how things are spiraling towards the utter catastrophe.

Memnan Saa started as a villain of sorts but proved to be on the side of the good (at least against the Frogs and their allies). His actions though (readiness to allow part of humanity to be destroyed for others to live) would make him antagonist to BPRD. Which is unfortunate because egomaniac or not he knew what they were up against as follow up BPRD story lines will prove and his actions can be seen as justified at later time.

Excellent read, highly recommended to all fans of Hellboy universe. ( )

Still the greatest. The BPRD's ability to survive by their skin of their teeth and run up against an even more nightmarish scenario is really good, as is every scrap of art in here. ( )
