Frogs, Ectoplasmic Man and the B.R.P.D

With Hellboy II: The Golden Army coming July 11, 2008, Dark Horse Comics will be releasing three new B.P.R.D. titles by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi. There will be new revelations for Liz Sherman and the origin story for Johann Kraus, as well as a bit of back story for the Bureau’s battle with the infamous frog creatures.

June 5th is the release date for the first installment of War on Frogs—a series of four one-shots that pick up from the March-April B.P.R.D. feature on MySpace Dark Horse Presents. War on Frogs (see picture above) chronicles the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense's fight against the frog monsters, set mostly between the events of B.P.R.D.: Plague of Frogs and B.P.R.D.: The Black Flame. As the frog cult spreads across America, Roger the Homunculus returns to the site of the B.P.R.D.'s first clash with the frog creatures—the ruins of Cavendish Hall, where Hellboy, Abe, and Liz first encountered both the frogs and Rasputin (Hellboy: Seed of Destruction)—to track down the final pieces of the puzzle of the Cavendish family. War on Frogs #2 is scheduled for a December release and will feature art by Eisner Hall-of-Famer John Severin (Two Fisted Tales).

On July 9th, The Warning will hit the stands with a five-issue series that immediately follows the events of B.P.R.D.: Killing Ground. The team rushes to track down the mysterious gentleman who's been appearing in Liz's visions, as a slew of old enemies menace the Bureau from all sides in a catastrophic escalation to the end of the world.

Mike Mignola, Hellboy’s creator had this to say: “I’m excited, B.P.R.D. is really picking up speed now. Fans can start girding their loins for big, catastrophic changes to come.”
