Review of Neonomicon


So let’s start. I would not recommend this graphic novel to anyone. The sheer amount of nudity, porn, people jacking off Deep Ones, and more, just pushes this book into an unfortunate territory. With that said, there is a clever connection here. But again, everything is up front and in obvious places. Not only should the curtains be kept back for mystery, but I appreciate that you don’t see people having sex in basement scenes with Deep Ones in Shadows over Innsmouth or something. This is worse. It’s like anime porn scenes, but of a very disturbing nature. I don’t like it, I don’t recommend it, and I only decided to finish it because I bought it and I wanted to finish it for this project.


Therefore I am not rating this graphic novel. Sorry. Now, it’s won an award. It won the Stoker award for horror in 2012. But I’m not ranking it.
