Is BOOM! Studios Planning A Cthulhu Comic Book?
Not so sure what this is about, but with C2E2 on the horizon (In like 5 minutes) a teaser image has hit the net implying that publisher BOOM Studios are planning something centered around H.P Lovecraft’s iconic, Cthulhu monster. Beyond the break you can take a look at the flier and judge for yourself just what is up with this “IA! IA! CTHULHU FAHTAGN” stuff. Read on for the non-skinny…skinny?
This Is The Flier That Mysteriously Surfaced Today…
The phrase roughly translates to “CTHULHU WAITS” or “CTHULHU WAITS DREAMING”. Other than that we don’t know what the heck is going on. Lately there has been a huge fascination within the comic book world with Lovecraft’s monster, but as of yet no one has taken the initiative to go and make a full blown apocalypse tale using the beast. Maybe that someone will be BOOM! Studios? Only time will tell. (Or maybe C2E2) What say you?

IDW Dark and Paramount recently joined forces to launch limited comic book tales set in the worlds of Smile and A Quiet Place, and we’ve learned today that they’ll continue hanging around in those franchise universes with two brand new limited series tales.
Entertainment Weekly has exclusively revealed this afternoon that IDW Dark’s Any Given Smile debuts in September, while A Quiet Place: Rising Tides arrives in November.
First up, from writer Stephanie Williams and artist Pablo Collar, Any Given Smile puts a football-themed twist on Parker Finn’s successful Smile movie franchise.
The five-part limited series is “set in January 1995, during the American Arena League football championship game in St. Augustine, Florida. The rising superstar of the Sharks, backup quarterback Dupree, is feeling the pressure from his teammates, the fans, and also the city’s gambling underworld, to whom he owes a considerable debt. Meanwhile, a sports journalist investigates a string of suicides that may be connected to the big game. At the very least, they are connected to a sinister entity that preys on the minds of its victims.”
From writer Declan Shalvey and artist Luke Sparrow, A Quiet Place: Rising Tides will also be a five-issue limited story. The comic book tale “brings the creatures to the Florida Keys, where a father-daughter duo attempt to survive on water in a houseboat.”
EW further details, “This tense family reunion coincides with the arrival of the vicious creatures that hunt through sound. Grace and her dad find safety on the open ocean, but she’ll have to make landfall sooner or later; the father’s oxygen tank and their supplies are running low, while a hurricane swiftly approaches.”
