Providence

Liked it.

But... had to have read the two preceding comics, that's a minus.
Also, anti-Lovecraft: Lovecraft kept things vague, Moore wants a coherent story, Lovecraft didn't care much for sexuality, Moore makes it the focus.

I absolutely loved it. My only complaint is they didn't touch At the Mountains of Madness at all.

>>91690249
do you know if the Neonomicon present in the slipcase includes the Courtyard?
It's a dealbreaker for me. I want the WHOLE thing

>>91690249

Its a true great piece of work. I'm so thankfull we have Alan Moore around.

>>91690249
Same here.

>>91693077
I agree that it's a minus, but I don't think being Anti-Lovecraft is a bad thing necessarily. I think Neonomicon was a horrible attempt at making sense and including sexuality - whereas Providence is probably the best you could do either of those things while still keeping the same themes and atmosphere.

It's "The Collected Neonomicon", so I assume that it includes Courtyard because all collected editions have.
Also, if you want the whole thing, the first short that Moore/Burrows worked on in their Lovecraft saga "Recognition" is being offered in the Yuggoth Cultures add-on product

Yeah, I think it only had a brief cameo in the dreamland issue.

thx man

>>91694961
Yeah, it's in digital though, and the whole mini just for one short story...the comic it's in is Yuggoth Cultures #2 if you end up trying to track down a single issue instead.

>>91693077
Lovecraft's fear of intimacy (~sexuality) is key to understand him as a person.

>>91695040
It really is, and Lovecraft admits that it's a part of his stories in his letters, especially for Innsmouth. Although I'm glad Moore back down some of the outright asexual stuff he was trying out in Courtyard/Neonomicon.

>>91690249
>The Nazis and the Prohibition actually delayed the apocalypse significantly

What a weird story turn.

>>91695089
I have to feel that was commentary on Lovecraft's earlier sympathies. And a reasoning for why those tones were in his stories and his thoughts, cause of his nature as a conduit.

I did think it was funny that Aldo Sax is able to become sane again because of the Swatstika he tattooed himself with. Meaning others could too...but good luck with that.

>>91693241
well it's far from the only Lovecraft story not to come up, don't believe any references to In The Walls of Eryx come up at any point for example

>>91695089
Wait so that dream sequence with the Nazi's was actually a vision of the future gassing fishmen?

Also how did prohibition fix things?

>>91696173
Or prevent things I should've said.

>adding stretch goals with basically a week to go
>the fund has already gotten 10x it's goal

Not sure that was a good idea. It's already gotten what it can, and these goals seem more like early stretches.

>Also how did prohibition fix/prevent things?
I figure that they mean that Moral guardians and the such in general ended up rousting out/keeping down sects.

>>91696388
I honestly think that Avatar is on its last legs now. What's with all these kickstarters?

>>91696535
Oh, there's been no doubt it's starting to collapse for a while now.

They aren't gaining series, most of their newer ones were cut down and put into an anthology,kickstarted, and everything else is reprints.

They've intimated that this kickstarter will also help fund another Crossed project, but who knows after that? I think getting bigger names like Moore and Gillen, and even Ennis kinda happened at the wrong time, financially for them.
