I'm going to completely disagree with that statement, right up front. It's definitely horror. And SF. But is it Lovecraftian? Yes. My issue is with the "standard Lovecraftian" tag. It's not your standard take on his particular brand of cosmic horror. This is dragged straight from a modern point of view, with both the military and scientific research sides getting involved. It's a thoroughly modern take on the mythos, which I truly appreciated. And the monsters were fun, albeit mostly held out at arms' length, so we never really got to understand them much, or see them in action. But, to be honest, where this collection lost the two stars from me was with the art. All the military grunts looked the same, talked the same, and I truly couldn't tell them apart. And it was a similar, if only slightly better situation with the scientific crew. So, that was one easy star off. The other star removal came because there were times were I truly didn't know what was happening, nor to whom. The action sequences were somewhat muddled, and, with very little differentiation between the characters in their identical environmental suits, it often dissolved into a bit of a runny mess. So, an A for the Lovecraftian horrors and human perversions, but a D- for the action shots. Hopefully, with the next collection, the main characters will be out of their suits, and things will make more sense. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

When a flesh-warping disease ravages a remote village in Mexico, a scientific task force travels to the inhospitable area to investigate the contamination. As victims of the illness are transformed in horrible ways, the task force traces the source of the disease to a nearby cave system-where they discover a bizarre, hostile ecosystem and a supernatural revelation from which they may never escape.
