Providence Act 1
Providence Act 1 This piece is currently in The Lovecraft eZine This is an overview and as such contains minor spoilers “Today began with one of those blue skies that seems so perfect it can only go on to betray you horribly.” – Robert Black’s Commonplace Book It’s many a long year since I bought an individual comic-book.

The Black Monday Murders Vol. 1
The Black Monday Murders Vol. 1: All Hail, God Mammon “If you are going to earn more…if you’re going to earn real money, accumulate real power… then that is done on the backs of others.
