I’m a big fan of the omnibus editions Dark Horse does for the Hellboy Universe titles. They are quite simply the best way to read the series. Each collects three of the original trade paperbacks with an expanded sketchbook section (and the trade sketchbook sections were already pretty huge), plus they’re usually paired with some kind of afterword or foreword from the authors. Despite being the deluxe way to read the comic, it’s also the cheapest, so it’s a great way for new readers to pick up a series.

And with “B.P.R.D.: Hell on Earth” wrapped in 2016, the series is now coming out in a five-volume hardcover collection. Volume 1 was released late last year, Volume 2 comes out mid April, and thanks to the folks at Dark Horse, we have a look at Laurence Campbell’s covers for Volume 3, coming out later this year, and Volume 4, coming out early 2019.
