This is not to imply that it is a shorter work, but it does deal with the consequences of that story. The first part, The Universal Machine is almost a coda to The Black Flame. It is solely drawn by Guy Davis and coloured by Dave Stewart. There are no anthology segments, no short stories. A sense of focus is found in the authors of this Volume: it is all Mike Mignola and John Arcudi. But there are still ways in which there is an increased focus on the potential devastation, or particularly deep wounds to endure. So our heroes have that to look forward to. Of course, since the very beginning in Hellboy: Seed of Destruction, there has been an impending apocalypse. Lincoln, Nebraska is destroyed in The Black Flame Now it gets serious. There is a tendency in these retrospectives of BPRD: Plague of Frogs to keep saying ‘Now it gets serious.’ The Plague of Frogs begins at the end of Volume One Now it gets serious. ![]()
