I would have appreciated more books because this one ended so abruptly - but it was good.
mschlat's review against another edition

I usually don't like YA coming of age works, but I've been a huge fan of Evan Dorkin's work (along with Sarah Dyer) and was intrigued by the idea of a protagonist who is an heir to Cthulhu-like goings-on, but doesn't want to be part of them. I found this okay, but not great. There's an excellent sense of humor, but not a lot of depth. The character design is nice, but I was thrown off by the transition of the work from digital to print. There is a lot of changing panel sizes with changing font sizes, and few of the pages felt organic. The whole thing probably works better on mobile than paper.

Great action sequences and world building. A fun twist on the chosen one troupe.

I stumbled on this in our local comic store yesterday and fell in love. Have read the thing twice through since then despite being busy with other things. Spunky teenage girl fights monsters, but rather than being the one who is destined to fight monsters like Buffy, she is the one who is destined to become a monster but is fighting back hard. Really cute art, lots of action. I want more and it's driving me nuts that I need to wait until I'm not sure when for there to be more.

It's a fine quick little read. The art is sharp, clean and bright. I don't know much about Lovecraft but it was an interesting story. The only issue I had was that characters just kinda pop-up, everyone becomes friends and then something else happens. More characters pop-up, terrible things happen and then become friends. It just seems like a lot of quick story progressions without any build up. I'm a fan of slow character build-up. I know it's difficult to move slowly in a graphic novel but man this was throwing characters at you left and right. All that being said I may pick up the next one eventually but I'm not dying to read it.

This is the second book in the Cthulhu mythos that I read this week that I considered "a lot of fun".
It's written on a level where adults can enjoy, but so can YA and middle grade readers. My 11-year-old enjoyed it and read it in one sitting. He said "it went into a lot of detail in some parts" - he felt the same way I did - we both want more. And he asked "what's happening with the ghouls?" I don't know! Good question.
Take a look!

This had a rocky start, but by the end I was into it. This is a fun introduction to Cthulhu for readers who don't have patience for purple prose and creeping horror. Perfect for middle school or high school age readers who like horror and the supernatural. I don't get the impression the rest of this story is going to get a physical release, which is kind of a bummer.

A lot of fun!!
Oddly enough I have little knowledge of Lovecraft or Cthulhu, but toss Buffy on anything and I'm on it.
That being said, I really enjoyed this, even if I was confused in the beginning.
Longer review to come!
