Full points for the art, which draws on vintage comic book styles but adds refined detail and great colour. I didn’t mind how Shephard rejigged the narrative of “The Call of Cthulhu” to make it more chronological and tied together but didn’t love the new ending, which provides un-Lovecraftian reassurance. I also always feel weird when there’s no mention of Lovecraft’s racism in the foreword or attempt to grapple meaningfully with it in the text.
