This book brings all the mythos of the Lovecratian genre to bear remarkably well. Each individual panel is full of oddities, beasts and demons straight out of any nightmarish hell. It sets the tone for when the reader is finally face to face with the vastness that is Cthulhu…an event which does not disappoint!
