Awesome new Kickstarter comic turns H.P. Lovecraft into chainsaw wielding action hero

H.P. Lovecraft fighting tentacled horrors with a chainsaw? Yes please! That's what you'll get when you back the new Kickstarter project: Lovecraft: The Blasphemously Large First Issue.

It's described as:

A dirty, gritty story about magick, monsters and the occult. It takes place in a modern-day world where H.P. Lovecraft the writer never existed but where all the horrors he wrote about are real. In this story, the man named Lovecraft is the world's foremost magician and alchemist who maintains a secret library of forbidden knowledge which includes books like the Necronomicon.

Lovecraft is a classic Byronic antihero: “Mad, bad, and dangerous to know.” He functions as the semi-reluctant guardian of mankind, one of the few who can traffic with occult forces without becoming (totally) corrupted by them. In his world, magicians are a secret culture within the culture who vie for power and knowledge, leading to feuds and wars that can unleash unspeakable terrors. When they do, Lovecraft is the guy who cleans things up.

I think Cthulhu would give this two blasphemous, flabby claws up!
