What to read this weekend: Revisiting Project Hail Mary and The Thing on the Doorstep
"The comic series zooms out to the third person and adds some scenes to illustrate the story of their lives, tracing the full history of Daniel and Edward's friendship."
"The Lovecraftian dread starts picking up in the second issue, introducing Asenath, Edward's love interest, who has a 'something's not quite right about her' aura."
"Willi Roberts' art really does it justice, especially when it comes to Edward's gradual deterioration and flashes of embodied evil that hint at what's really going on beneath the surface."
The miniseries adapts H.P. Lovecraft's short story, depicting the events leading to a man's murder of his best friend. It shifts from first-person to third-person perspective, adding scenes to illustrate their friendship and Edward's decline. The narrative begins lightly but intensifies with Lovecraftian dread, particularly through the character of Asenath, who adds an unsettling element. The artwork captures Edward's deterioration and hints at deeper evils. Two issues have been released, with three more planned.
