Last month’s debut of Mark Sable and Giorgio Pontrelli’s hit series, MISKATONIC, gave fans of crime, mystery and Lovecraftian terror so many reasons to celebrate. Here are just some of the reviews that emerged from the void shortly after the first issue’s release: “...addictive storytelling from the get go. Historical and modern sensibilities clash in a narrative full of intrigue and realism. It has instantly set itself up as an unmissable series.” – Darryll Robson, Monkeys Fighting Robots “Watching the push and pull of societal issues at the time and how it unfolds is interesting and setting that against the strangeness we get at the end of it definitely hits a sweet spot for me...Pontrelli's artwork is spot on, especially with how Bowland colors it.” – Chris Beveridge, The Fandom Post “...an intriguing genre mashup from Aftershock! Fans of the Cthulhu Mythos and noir fiction will find a lot to dig into here.” – Nathan Simmons, AIPT “...leans heavily into Lovecraftian themes to great effect and does well by updating the content for the 21st century...” – Kobi Bordoley, Multiversity Comics So, once again, we invite you to Come Back for Seconds this Wednesday for MISKATONIC #2. The bill of fare will feature a distinctly “calamarian” flavor. Plus, the journey of Hototo and Tala takes some unexpected twists and turns this week in WE LIVE #3.
