Things seem to be going well for the BPRD. With their alliance with the military, they now have all the munitions they need, and, after New York, an easy mission to clear a small town. But the town has strange connections to Howards’s past as a prehistoric warrior, and more than its share of monsters.

I can't say the B.P.R.D. cover is bad at all, but it sure feels weird not having Mike do the trades....
I understand why he's relinquishing covers more, but it is a bit sad.
Agreed. I'm not against in accepting of him not doing covers (the Get the Lobster one is awesome), but that BPRD one isn't doing much for me at the moment. Maybe it'll grow on me
What really writing me out still is not seeing Mignola's name listed at all on the new Witchfinder. Usually even when he's taking a back seat to other he still gets a general plotting credit (though sometimes in interviews he will say he probably didn't earn it, so maybe this is just a way to give the others what he thinks they deserve?)
