I'm greatly enjoying these standalone stories and getting to know new faces but I miss the forward momentum of the main story.

One of the weaker entries in the series.
Though not terrible, they feel like simple filler.
Something that hasn’t happen yet in the bord universe.
Both stories did help expand the universe, but overall, did little to love the story forward.
Guy Davis’s art is also sorely missed

Three one shots with ambiguous endings, all of which could show how the world ends. The 'Pickens County Horror' shows a 'family' of vampires waiting for the previously mentioned vampire apocalypse, but something else seems to have gotten them first. 'The Transformation of JH O'Donnell' gives Prof O'Donnell a backstory, and shows a cabal of undead magicians who worshipped the old gods prophesied to return and destroy the world. And in 'The Abyss of Time', a field agent gets thrown back in time to when the decedents of said old gods tried to rise again before.
None of the stories really get a definitive ending, but hopefully it will end of relating back to the main storyline.

Always nice when it gets back to the small stories about the little guys in the BPRD. The art goes half and half in terms of quality for me, but it works out in the end. One of the better Hell on Earth volumes.

Loved these stories about non-"elite" agents of the Bureau. They flesh out the world and give it verisimilitude and are generally just great. Especially Agent Strode 8)

I always enjoy the collections of shorter stories. When they're done right -- like this one is -- they can be a refreshing breather from the main story arc. Special shoutouts to Hellboy's appearances and to the on-point Ogdru Hem in the Caveman story -- I really love the creature design there.
