Zinco finally managed to achieve the goal of bringing back the master. After masterfully deceiving the BPRD to get required equipment (oh, Johann, Johann) Zinco will finally bring back the master - but not the one you would expect, no. That one pops up in the middle of the complete crazy events with monsters rising up and destroying everything (again), horrid mutations twisting and turning everyone and anything into snapping jaws.

Very interesting book, it seems like darksiders are gaining the upper hand.

First of all I have to say I haven’t caught up on Hellboy...and that definitely affects the reading of the story as I have no idea what happened in the rain of frogs or who some of the characters are or their relationships with each other, but I'm doing my best to catch up quickly. The overall story in this volume is quite excellent and its quite easy to follow and get caught up in the excitement and the mystery. Having "The Master" come back from the dead after so many years away and the twists and turns of trying to figure out which is the true master and which is a fake is most intriguing. I find it interesting that one of the folks that might be The Master has the power to mutate creatures, just a look at a dog can turn him into a wild ravening beast bent on destruction.

One of the things I enjoy most about the Hellboy universe is that even though they all work of Mignola’s original design, the artists always bring their own unique twists and talents to the world and this collection is no exception. I love seeing how they capture the characters in watercolors, pen and ink, and the other mediums and the unique elements they provide to the characters. And the art in this collection is no exception. Some of my favorite scenes deal with the ghosts haunting the shores of Scotland as the agents attempt to take out The Master. The imagery created in these scenes is just fantastic.

If you’re an avid Hellboy/BPRD fan then this is definitely the book for you. I give the book 4 out of 5 stars. ( )
