"Dark Horse Comics has announced the renumbering of B.P.R.D. Mike Mignola&amp;#039;s Hellboy spinoff will be numbered from October&amp;#039;s 100th issue, beginning with the third issue of the Return Of The Master miniseries.  It will be titled B.P.R.D. Hell On Earth #100, with the subtitle &amp;#039;Return Of The Master, Part 3 of 5&amp;#039; in a move away from the discrete miniseries presentation that the series has always used. &amp;quot;The reason to make the change was in part how many times [San Francisco retailer and industry pundit] Brian Hibbs told me, &amp;#039;Well, really B.P.R.D. is an ongoing...&amp;#039;&amp;quot; editor Scott Allie told Comic Book Resources. &amp;quot;And he&amp;#039;s right. &amp;quot;Another part of the reason is that as we&amp;#039;ve moved into doing more short stories - two - or three-issue stories - we get those new issue #1&amp;#039;s too often. You do new #1&amp;#039;s to give readers jumping on points, but when they&amp;#039;re coming so quickly it becomes more confusing than anything else.  &amp;quot;Also, we are just sort of proud to have hit a hundred issues of this title,&amp;quot; he continued. &amp;quot;For all the changes the book has gone through, we&amp;#039;re still telling the same story, we&amp;#039;re still moving in a fairly straight line, as opposed to a book that has to hit the reset button every couple years.&amp;quot; B.P.R.D. launched in 2003 with the same ongoing miniseries format as Hellboy. Hellboy itself is due to return in December after a hiatus. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
