review:
'C21st Gods #1' by David Tallerman with art by Anthony Summey turns out to be a sort of re-imagining of 'The Call of Cthulhu' by H. P. Lovecraft. There are hints of it in this issue, and lots of gory art.

The book opens on a rainy night with a crepy looking house. A man holds a woman at knifepoint. Later, a detective and his partner drive up to the house on a lead that this may be where a missing rich woman is. Things get weird from here as the woman has been ritually killed and the man who did it is still in the house. The word "Cthulhu" is scrawled on a mirror near her body. What could be happening?

The book is set in the future, but the only way I knew was by the strangely futuristic vehicles, and the title. In a short number of pages, I felt pretty caught up in the story. The art by Anthony Summey is alternately breathtaking and horrific. I really like it, but this book is not for the faint of heart or queasy of stomach.

I was given a review copy of this issue by Rosarium Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this issue.
