Mike Mignola (W), John Arcudi (W), Guy Davis (A), Dave Stewart (C), and Kevin Nowlan (Cover)
Outside Memnan Saa’s sanctum, two armies of monsters clash over the fate of the world; within, the B.P.R.D. can only watch as Saa’s machinations continue to unfold around them, building up to an apocalyptic climax with Liz at its core.
Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi, and drawn by Guy Davis, B.P.R.D.: The Black Goddess is the second of three arcs pulling together threads from the beginning of the series—and leaving the B.P.R.D. and the world forever changed.

BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS
All right, I’m a new convert. After seeing the second movie, I’ve been slowly buying trade paperbacks on the B.P.R.D, and as I read through them, I want to buy even more. This mini-series is helping to culminate past story-lines, as we sense that we are getting close to knowing how Liz (yes, she was in the movies) fits in with the War on the Frogs. It’s ominous, and the letter page details the upcoming mini-series to come, promising to wrap up this 15-year story in the somewhat near future. So as new readers come aboard, be warned that some back-reading may be required to fully appreciate the story. But for me, from what I’ve read, it looks more dire, more patient (I love the art and story-telling; it reminds me of Moore, who was the expert on pacing), than I’ve seen anywhere else. B.P.R.D is something not to be missed.
