Nice artwork. It's like grotesque manga noir. Intrigued yet? Wait till you meet the man-eating venus fly trap. (It's that kind of a book).
Un pastiche de lugares comunes que recrea el Horror Cósmico de Lovecraft bajo el prisma noir de Raymond Chandler. Buenas caracterizaciones e interesante estilo de dibujo.
This comic was very confusing for me, I couldnt follow what was happening between chapters. For all the Huff I've heard about it, I wasnt impressed.
Lovecraft x Noir, in a modernish setting (there seem to be cell phones, anyway). It's not bad, but the art style made it hard for me to follow which characters were doing what. I don't know if this would be more or less of a problem for vertebrate eyes.
Lovecraft mythos expertly combined with Chandleresque detective work in an appropriately dark B&W comic. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys mythos stories.
An interesting storyline and melding of noir & horror. The artwork is beautfully creepy but it was sometimes hard to understand what was happening through the progression/lay out of the panels. Glad I read it, but not pulled in enough to seek out book 2.
This relied heavily on The Big Sleep (e.g. Bogart) with a very strong Lovecraft-ian twist. It's a lot darker than I'm used to, but I had just watched the movie and was disappointed (not amused) by how much of the story was "ripped off" (even with all the twists). The drawings and plot were also very hard to follow. The style was mood-setting (and I liked that), but when you're telling a story through pictures, the pictures really should be "legible" enough to carry the story. While this is the f...
An odd blend of Raymond Chandler and H. P. Lovecraft that mostly works. I found the artist's style to be a little distracting at times, but he had a flair for the strange and weird. The writer did a good job on the film noir parts, but only okay on the Lovecraftian parts, adding a little too much slapstick at the wrong moments, spoiling the mood a bit.Still, it was a clever idea and mostly well done.
A very, very strange story. Great but greatly confusing drawings. No real explanation of what's going on. I felt lost the entire way through. I think I only finished it because it was so short. Maybe the next ones would be better.
This was an interesting little read. It was a blend of noir detective story with horror a la Lovecraft. "Mutt" Manson is hired to find a young damsel, but it turns out there is more to her disappearance. The local mobster is involved as well as a local industrialist who controls a lot of the city. The plot at times is a bit hard to follow, but it still reels you in. I pretty much read this in one sitting. The gritty line drawing art style matches the setting and story well. While not the greates...
This was an uneasy mix of noir and horror. Though I liked the artwork, particularly the character depictions, it was a little hard to figure out action-wise. I'm really not sure what was going on with the plot, though it seemed to be centered around having as many freaky monsters appear as possible.
I loved this book and the art is out of this world!! The storyline is great...about a hardboiled dective hired to find a missing rich girl. Seems like an ez case until everything goes crazy. I love everything about this book and Volume 2...BUT what happened to the series? I can't find anything on them...if anyone knows anything please let me know. Thank you.Even with just the first two books it is more the worth it to read them...you won't be sorry.
