Return of Alan Moore

Alan Moore, probably the best creator of the Modern Age, hasn't written much in a while. He's written, poetry, prose and publishes a magazine called Dodge'em Logic. But as for comics he pretty much just works on LXG. Until now.

Avatar Press is putting out a miniseries called Neonomicon, written by Alan Moore. It's a heavily Lovecraft inspired mystery. The thing that impressed me is that Moore writes it like a young man. Without looking at the credits I would assume the author was a twenty-something. The dialog is casual and conversational. The kind of thing we see in movies more than comics. Although only the first issue is out, he does seem to be twisting the usual "Lovecraft" story in that one of the characters seems to notice all of the literary references, of which there are many. Expectations aren't too high, as it seems like a pretty low concept series, but a person still can't help but be excited.
