Something deadly is loose in the halls of the B.P.R.D.!

The B.P.R.D. will need all of its new resources—from Johann's new body to Panya, the team's newest (and maybe oldest) member—to handle the deadly forces that have wormed their way into the heart of the headquarters, as the line blurs between the hunters of the supernatural and their prey.

Written by John Arcudi (JLA, Doom Patrol) and Hellboy and B.P.R.D. creator Mike Mignola, and drawn by acclaimed series artist Guy Davis (Sandman Mystery Theatre, Nevermen), Killing Ground returns the B.P.R.D. to its roots in visceral supernatural horror that will leave the Bureau forever altered.

• Collects B.P.R.D.: Killing Ground #1-#5.

• A direct follow-up to the events in B.P.R.D.: Garden of Souls.

• Daimio's secret revealed!

• "Few superheroes have cooler comrades than Hellboy, the Hades-bred occult investigator—and now finally this supporting cast has grown its own X-Men meets X-Files showcase."—Entertainment Weekly
Mike Mignola's fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age; reading Dracula at age twelve introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore, from which he has never recovered. Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he swiftly evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he had begun to develop his own unique graphic style, with mainstream projects like Cosmic Odyssey and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight. In 1994, he published the first Hellboy series through Dark Horse. There are thirteen Hellboy graphic novels (with more on the way), several spin-off titles (B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien, and Sir Edward Grey: Witchfinder), prose books, animated films, and two live-action films starring Ron Perlman. Along the way he worked on Francis Ford Coppola's film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), was a production designer for Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), and was the visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004), and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). Mike's books have earned numerous awards and are published in a great many countries. Mike lives in Southern California with his wife, daughter, and cat. View titles by Mike Mignola
