B P R D Hell On Earth Volume 9 The Reign Of The Black Flame

Following B.P.R.D. King of Fear the B.P.R.D. line took a two month break before starting up the Hell on Earth series. The five issue mini-series was published from August to December 2010. The story is collected together in B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth: New World.

With Liz Sherman back in fiery action, two B.P.R.D. teams make their way through the monster-filled streets of the Manhattan wasteland in order to reach the Black Flame's fortress and take down his army.

"The plague of frogs has ended, but earth will never be the same, and the fractured B.P.R.D. struggles to battle dangerous monsters and humans alike, from a trailer-park cult to a Russian town ravaged by a zombie-like virus. Guy Davis's final B.P.R.D. story sets the stage for Tyler Crook's (Harrow County) backwoods-horror debut, as Liz Sherman hides from a world that she helped push toward armageddon, and Abe Sapien is shot down by a girl who's seen the world to come. This is the first hardcover edition of the B.P.R.D Hell on Earth series, and collects the first three trade paperback volumes of the B.P.R.D Hell on Earth series (New World, Gods and Monsters, and Russia) plus an expanded sketch book section."--
