This came out last month but I thought I'd try reading the first issue anyway as the cover was quite eye-catching.
Change #1
It's another Cthulhu comic, except instead of fusing the mythos with noir like Fatale this is... I'm not sure, really. Maybe it's fused with a stereotypical "doesn't Hollywood suck you dry" type story, but that doesn't explain the astronaut.
(nothing really explains the astronaut at present, the dialogue is so cryptic)
The story appears to be following three characters - the screenwriter on the left of the cover, the rap artist/producer in the middle, and the astronaut - with some kind of creepy prophecy and hooded cultists involved, and something creepy lurking under the ocean (call Scott Snyder! Tell him to cancel The Wake now!). The art reminds me a bit of Daytripper except not as detailed, and the writing... it's very...
indie... it feels like they were a bit stoned when they wrote it, a bit rambly and disconnected, even when the rap producer goes to his dog's funeral or they reveal why the screenwriter has these weird brown blotches on her face (camouflage, apparently!).
So while it doesn't seem to make a huge amount of sense, the basic story is right in my wheelhouse - I like the creepy elements in a modern world and I'm keen to see what the astronaut stuff is about. I'll probably pick up the trade in due course.
