H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

Horror fans who have never played the Arkham Horror tabletop game or read the H.P. Lovecraft stories that inspired it will still find plenty to love in Dark Horse Comics' new adaptation, Arkham Horror: The Terror at the End of Time. Based on the sprawling Cthulhu mythology, Arkham Horror was originally a board game turned tabletop franchise that has players explore Arkham, Massachusetts while investigating means to destroy an elder god. Like its inspiration, the franchise is a stylized fusion of 1920s private investigator tropes and otherworldly cult horror.

Since its original release, the Arkham Horror franchise has inspired numerous books and expansions, and now it has its own comic series. Arkham Horror: The Terror at the End of Time by Cullen Bunn and Andrea Mutti follows a young debutante and a hired PI as they investigate the disappearance of the woman’s sister following her abduction by an eldritch-worshipping cult.

While the first issue doesn’t show much of the dark magical aspects that readers know will follow in future installments, the series already promises a high-stakes adventure unafraid of delving into the monstrous horror it’s based on.
