The attention to detail that Alan Moore and Jacen Burrows have dedicated to this piece is quite impressive, as it makes for a fascinating introduction to, what is sure to be, a superb take on the Chambers/Lovecraft mythos. As a fan of Neonomicon's slow grind into pure shock, I'm looking forward to the horror that Moore and Burrows have in store, and if the pacing of this first issue is any indication, Providence will blow away Neonomicon in regards to multi-layered storytelling. Definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Through and through, this series is already turning out to be the greatest amalgam of Lovecraftian material and modern prose ever made. Jacen Burrows has done such an amazing job with the details showcased throughout every panel, as his work suits Moore's cinematic scope. The coloring is very subtle, but it really tunes into the involuntary attention of the reader when it has to. Overall, this second issue surpassed the first, and leaves me wanting to dig deeper into the underground world of Providence.
