You were an explorer who challenged the farthest reaches of existence. Until your technology inevitably failed you and you found yourself trapped in the endless void of space, drifting aimlessly amongst the nebulae, with only one question rattling through your tiny, dying, all-too human brain: What if the horrors of this reality are too great to comprehend? What if they were NEVER supposed to be explored at all? GOOD THING YOU STILL HAVE THIS COMIC TO KEEP YOU COMPANY, SPACEMAN! Test the boundaries of our cold and unforgiving CRUEL UNIVERSE with four bizarre tales of time and space by eight modern masters of the sciencefiction form: Christopher Cantwell (Thanos, Iron Man) and David Lapham (Stray Bullets); Chris Condon (That Texas Blood) and Javier Rodriguez (Amazing Spider-Man); Stephanie Phillips (Harley Quinn, Grim) and Riley Rossmo (The Sandman); and a very special surprise from Ben H. Winters (CBS’ Tracker) and Leomacs (Rogues). . . . At last, EC Comics dares you to look into the void and ponder what fate awaits us all! (It’s OBLIVION!)

Writer: Chris Cantwell, Chris Condon, Stephanie Phillips, Ben H. Winters
Artist: Javier Fernandez, David Lapham, Leomacs, Riley Rossmo
Cover Artist: Greg Smallwood

Les équipes aux commandes, c'est du haut niveau quand même depuis le début.
Si l'un des titres EC Comics n'est pas nommé dans la catégorie Meilleurs anthologie aux Eisner Awards, je ne comprends pas.

(Mode digression ON: Bon dieu, j'aime vraiment beaucoup le style de Smallwood avec ses brush "craie", faut que je creuse ça de mon côté… OFF)

J'ai lu le premier Epitaphs from the abyss et j'ai trouvé ça au mieux médiocre.
Je jetterai malgré tout un oeil sur Cruel universe.
