5+ STARSAlan Moore, creator of Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and the groundbreaking run on Swamp Thing, among other amazing projects, gives us Providence, a fresh look at Lovecraft's mythology. Providence, originally released as a 12 issue standalone comic book series by Avatar Press, is finally collected here in a beautiful edition that also includes the artwork for all 12 covers.Each of the 12 issues is another "chapter" in the story, split between traditional comic storytelling and detailed journal entries of the protagonist, Robert Black. There are so many hidden - and not so hidden - Lovecraftian gems throughout this book, I was in awe of the author's research and depth to every element, beautifully weaving fact and fiction together in a seamless narrative. I honestly have not enjoyed something this immersive and masterfully crafted in a long time. The reader is even gifted with HP Lovecraft himself in the tale, along with his biographer, S. T. Joshi. While not everyone will catch all the nuances and details in the story, there is so much to enjoy here that I find it almost impossible for genre fans not to find a lot to like about Providence.The detailed and atmospheric artwork by Jacen Burrows is easily the best of his already impressive career, complimenting the story nearly perfectly. I found myself thinking back on scenes and moments throughout the book over the few days I spent reading it, and know I will return to this story again in the future. The locations, characters, dialogue, and undertones of this macabre, eerie world was truly a fulfilling read. This gets my highest recommendation.

PROVIDENCE COMPENDIUM é quase tudo que um trade paperback se propõe a ser, com a exceção do preço. 30 dólares por menos de 500 páginas é um valor excessivo pelo ​volume, que reúne 12 números da série homônima de Alan Moore e Jacen Burrows, uma das HQs finais do escritor.PROVIDENCE é o desfecho de uma trilogia iniciada por THE COURTYARD e seguida por NEONOMICON, na qual Moore transita por elementos de terror da obra de Lovecraft oferecendo uma nova perspectiva e reinterpretando a elaboração do Mythos, um autêntico exercício de engenharia reversa. Trata-se de algo bastante similar ao que Moore já havia feito com a ficção e literatura em LIGA EXTRAORDINÁRIA.A qualidade do volume é excelente. Algumas falhas editorias foram corrigidas para esta edição, mas não há extras. O volume é bem enxuto.A leitura deve ser precedida pelo exemplar de NEONOMICON, que reúne THE COURTYARD e o NEONOMICON propriamente dito.

The diary entries are a bit lengthy and somewhat redundant. Nevertheless, this transposition of Lovecraft motives to a meta level is a masterclass of how to take strong original material, and to weave it into a still original story.This is peak Alan Moore, and should appeal to friends of Lovecraft, Moore, and of graphic novels equally.
