'''''Neonomicon''''' is a four part comic miniseries by [[Alan Moore]] from 2010. It continues the narrative of his 1994 short story ''The Courtyard'', which had been converted into a comic back in 2003.
The comic tells the story of FBI agents Brears and Lamper who are sent to continue the investigation of the occult murders that had been happening in The Courtyard. They uncover everything that previously happened extremely quickly. Then [[It Got Worse|things take a turn for the worse...]]
Line 8:
It's quite an atmospheric story, but be warned: there is a lot of very graphically depicted sexual assault and rape.

* [[Alien Geometries]]: The plateau of Leng definitely qualifies. ''YMMV'' on R'lyeh {{spoiler|it's actually Agent Brears's '''womb'''}}.
* [[The Antichrist]]: in this case, {{spoiler|it turns out to be Cthulhu!}}
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* [[Shout-Out]]: ''[[Discussed Trope]]''; the miniseries stops dancing around the issue of the ludicrous number of Lovecraft references in ''[[The Courtyard]]'', and outright addresses them. The FBI agents discuss whether the writings may be influencing a series of occult killings, or whether [[It Got Worse|it might be the other way around...]]
* [[Starfish Aliens]]: again, par for the course.
* [[Stockholm Syndrome]]: elements of this come into play
