I gotta admit here that I really really liked this comic book, maybe not loved it but it was very close to me loving this comic book. 

This comic book has H.P Lovecraft as its main character and the entire comic book revolves around the monsters H.P Lovecraft made in his stories. I personally am very nostalgic about H.P Lovecraft’s stories since his stories I reviewed on this website was what got me a lot of recurring readers.

The characters in this comic book, are pretty good. We don’t get a lot of characters in this book but those characters we do get in this comic book are very decent. 

For me personally the characters have a lot of improvement in this comic book series, because they aren’t as great and good as they could have been if the characters in this series were fully explored and introduced to us as readers. 

The artwork in this comic book is amazing. Its easily my favorite part of this comic book because of how it brings the monsters H.P Lovecraft has created in his stories during his time. At the same time the monsters aren’t very scary because this book leans more towards the younger readers than the hardcore horror fans readers.
