Tallerman manages to weave in just enough suspense to get me hooked! I'll definitely be picking up the next few issues. ( ) I keep requesting comics from Netgalley. Don't know why since I'm pretty ambivalent towards comics. This comic is based on a Lovecraft story. Not a huge fan of Lovecraft (mainly because I can't get past the racism). So why C21st Gods #1? Because I like reading horror and comics are quick reads and I crossed my fingers that Tallerman and Summey would leave out Lovecraft's racist undertones (there's a WOC background character in the comic, which is an improvement from Lovecraft's belief that Of the complete biological inferiority of the negro there can be no question. Still, I feel icky about the source material and a background POC character of two is hardly going to fix that.) So, twenty-four pages in a retelling of The Call of Cthulhu. Basically, twenty-four pages that reads like those movie previews that are disjoint images flashed on the screen separated by a few seconds of darkness meant to make you think Wow, what a moody dark film this is going to be but instead just gives me a headache. A few shots of gore. A gloomy house. A run down precinct. People humping a statue. There you go -- that's pretty much the twenty-four pages right there. Probably good for fans of Lovecraft. Meh for me. C21st Gods #1 by David Tallerman and Anthony Summey went on sale November 9, 2016. I received a copy free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

In a noirish modern re-imagining of H P Lovecraft's classic The Call of Cthulhu, one, determined police detective investigates a series of horrific cult murders, only to discover that - in an age when technological marvels outstrip the wildest nightmares of the past - there may be worse to fear than even the return of a godlike horror from Earth's prehistory.
