I am fan of secret agencies fighting against dark occult, various secret societies and dangers from beyond. This is what X-COM, Bureau, Delta Green, even X-Files and S.H.I.E.L.D are all about - ordinary men and women thrown into highly non-ordinary situations fighting against overwhelming odds and dying in service of humanity.

B.P.R.D is exactly that kind of agency. Formed and led by the professor Bruttenholm, B.P.R.D tries to uncover and neutralize mysteries and horrors that put humanity in great danger. In these stories we follow them from post-WW2 Germany to continental USA while they fight monstrosities and lose agents at alarming rate. Stories show in a great way how ordinary men cope with what they encounter (psychologically but also physically - although wounds are not always of the flesh kind) plus we get introduced to the assortment of creatures either hiding within humanity for sheer self-amusement (not unlike scientists (Q comes to mind here) infiltrating animal wild-life just to see how animals live and behave when tackling almost impossible odds) or biding their time until the moment when they raise again and eradicate the humanity for all times.

Art is great, every book/year having a very specific artistic signature.

Highly recommended to all fans of supernatural thriller. ( )
