Chutou has contacted Moore and paving the way for humanity next step in to the Elder Gods direction.

This comic showed that Moore hates Lovecraft.

Actually, he has a new-found apprecation for him since he did the research work for Providence.
I think he saw what Lex saw in All Star Superman as he was losing his powers.
>>83715596
Sounds cool, I'll have to check it out.
Reading Neonomicon sort of showed he didn't really actually know anything about Lovecraft's actual works, rather than the pop culture misunderstandings that have built up like a game of telephone. It'll be interesting to see how Providence is different, if at all.

But Lex was right and Hartley was wrong.
>>83715663
>>83714953
I'm not that knowledgeable about Lovecraft, what did Moore fuck up in Neonomicon? (and The Courtyard)
>>83715753
How was Hartley wrong? 8 is the right answer to all.

Neonomicon, largely the second one mind, is basically a send up of what people think Lovecraft is: monster rape and people being corrupted evil.
The famous fish monster story, Shadow Over Innsmouth, doesn't feature any rape. It barely features sex, except from the implications about how all the crossbreeding occurred. In the story, it's basically just an exchange of goods so the townsfolk get good fishing. All consensual and based around practical goals, like getting fish and make hybrids to hide among humanity. The sex itself isn't the point. Lovecraft's stories are basically entirely sexless and even when it must have occurred for certain people and monsters to be born, there's not so much as a hint of rape or any passionate feelings about sex on either side. In the second Neonomicon, the fish monster is basically just a classic monster rapist, with the twist being the rapee manages to wrangle him by giving him a handjob to satisfy him after the first rape. It's also basically a mindless beast held prisoner by the cult. It escapes and kills all the cultist, leaving the prisoner alive. Who is now looking forward to her crazy monster baby killing the world.
The first Neonomicon was actually pretty fun, featuring some government agent tracking down kills connected by a memetic language. He himself goes crazy from investigating too deeply. Not uncommon in Lovecraft, but crazy in Lovecraft tended to be actually crazy, not Hannibal Lecter evil, which the agent becomes. The narrator of Innsmouth does go over to the monsters side by the end, though, having discovered his lineage and planning to break his more fishy looking cousin out of the Asylum.
They weren't really bad stories, don't get me wrong. They're just the all to common "it's about Lovecraft, but what we really mean is it's about the image of Lovecraftian fiction that's built up in the pop culture and our twist on it is not nearly as clever as we think it is because of that."

Lex got the cosmic awareness, Jesus there >>83714565 figured out the way to stop Gentry for good. Later on in the comic he tells Captain Atom the way. It's an unending loop, like a Möbius loop that has neither a beginning nor ending.
Even though the book barely had the president talk I couldn't help but like him, the guilt he had for killing his father was nicely conveyed by the artwork.

This is the exact same thing that came into my mind. Grant is a hack who recycles his ideas.

He's trying to emulate the thing that we humans call "laughter."

>Grant is a hack who recycles his ideas.
Repetition is a basic foundation of storytelling.
Both All-Star and Pax Americana depict the moment of an epiphany in different contexts.
Luthor's characterization and arc are very different from the son of Yellowjacket.
