** spoiler alert ** My likes and dislikes! Everyone loves a list.

Likes:
- sea-involved horror: although I like the underwater kind more, there's none of that here
- the weird objects: those were fun, although one of them was clearly a Chekhov's Gun
- the art: it's really good!
- cosmic horror involving mathematics: it's an interesting idea, although it feels a bit underused
- Derleth: a nice little nod

Dislikes:
- silly monster designs: why always go for the insect-like, it feels lazy, is not scary
- stupid scientists: some Prometheus-like idiotic decisions here
- so much dialogue: and not all of it felt necessary? felt like it could've been edited down, and nothing would be lost
- manly-man bullshit: a character calling out that bullshit doesn't make it less bullshitty
- the prison: why is the hatch so human-like (I'm ignoring the sticker as I think it's a little joke)
- rushed Hollywood ending: six issues and still it feels rushed, and the epilogue can't have surprised anyone

End of list.
