Edward has started Miskatonic University, hoping to deepen his understanding in the strange and the occult, but little bargaining for meeting a beguiling woman named Asenaith Waite, who can seemingly control the weather. After a disturbing hypnotism, Edward quickly falls for Asenath, little understanding her true intentions.

    The Thing on the Doorstep #2 definitely answers a few questions that came up last time, revealing more pieces of Edward’s unfortunate fate. Even if the first issue didn’t quite grab you, this one makes it worth it, I think. Read Full Review

    It’s only a matter of time before the horror becomes much more apparent on the page. As it is, the clever poise of the story continues to assert itself in the center of the panel as the horror continues to collect around the edges of the action. The framing of the story DOES feel quite straightforward. Perhaps there might have been a different approach to rendering it that might have felt a bit more dynamic in a contemporary comic book format, but it wouldn’t have been as true as it is to the style of Lovecraft.

    The story follows almost the same format as the first issue. I'm not sure the story is actually that good, but for some reason I'm going to be generous, because I am invested.
