Plot Elvira has an exciting and almost wet dream about a werewolf dressed as Elvis, where she confesses that she has always liked men with hair on their chest 😂, but is interrupted by the ghost of H.P Lovecraft, who asks her for help to stop a cosmic threat. Howard Philips Lovecraft is the late prolific writer who created the literary genre called "Cosmic Horror", in this comic he asks Elvira for help because she has extensive experience fighting demonic beings. Apparently HP Lovecraft when he died fell into a bottomless abyss and one of the Elder Gods offered him an option to get out of this eternal penance, it consists of stopping an evil force that is going to use the Necronomicon book of the dead to open the doors of the priso n of R'Lyeh and free the demon monster Cthulhu. Elvira takes HP Lovecraft to where a possible copy of the Necromicon is, but in reality it was a trap for others to find the book and now the terrible evil is about to be unleashed. As David Avallone has accustomed us to, this comic features hilarious dialogue filled with self-aware, fourth-wall-breaking commentary and brilliant way to play on words, it's indeed a smart and insightful comedy. It's great to see how Elvira judges with jokes the well-known racism that characterizes this writer. Art Kewer elevates Elvira's sensuality and mischief in each of her panels and at the same time creates an atmosphere of shocking mystery and terror by successfully using HP Lovecraft's universe of beings but maintaining Elvira's irreverent comedy through body language. Summary HP Lovecraft asks Elvira for help thanks to her reputation that precedes her, but he is not prepared to deal with the unique and mischievous charm of the Mistress of The Dark more

This book knows what it is and doesn't try to be anything else. It pretty much works. The plot hook is bland but serviceable and the dialogue could be a little funnier, but the art is great and the facial expressions do a lot of lifting. Given the expectations for, as Elvira put it, a 'Dynamite funnybook,' I'd say that this is looking pretty solid as long as you aren't expecting the next Watchmen or Maus from it.
