The Fall Of Cthulhu: The Fugue, by Michael Nelson & JJ Dzialowski- Again, plenty of promise, but ultimately unsatisfying. I don't mind updating the Mythos to the modern day, but the characters (except for Mr Arkham) were unengaging, the domestics between the lead character and his girlfriend were just cliched, and the plot developments were very obvious, but the biggest problem was with the art. At first it looked like it'd be good, with subtle colour tones providing depth- but it turned out that wasn't the case, and the panels tended to be just muddy.

While it's true that the Mythos tends to drive its characters mad, I doubt the confusing jumps and odd discordancies between script and art (e.g. references to a face on a knife handle, which don't seem to be there in the art) were deliberate for that purpose.

So, showed, promise at first, but ultimately disappointing.
