Although I would like to say it left me wanting more of the cosmic horror, sadly, it left me simply glad to close its covers. In our modern culture, few taboos remain, and horror stories have for the most part become tame or safe.

I have to admit that it was so clear, since I had read Providence first and I wasn’t any clueless at all this time.The Courtyard is the best story of the two, throwing the Lovecraftian Mythos into the seedy world of back street drug dealings, Lovecraft meets 'The Wire' as it were. During this ordeal Brears has a vision of Carcosa, who reveals himself as an avatar of Nyarlathotep, one of the Great Old Ones. Moore’s characters’ dialogue in other comics never stood out as particularly amateurish so I’m going to assume he went especially bad in homage to old HP.

It's embarrassingly cliche to pit the young outcasts as evil cultists, and is part of why I found Issue 1 so unlikable. P. Lovecraft, and even for those with just a passing knowledge on the subject, there are clues and references aplenty.

Jacen Burrows is truly one of the rising stars in comic book illustration, who has dedicated his talents to Avatar Press projects exclusively throughout the years. An FBI agent is staking out a neighborhood where a series of brutal ghastly murders have taken place.
