I expect outdated, insensitive, and racist language when I read a classic. It was never acceptable but it's something you have to place in the cultural context in which it was written.
NOT SO HERE! JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE ADAPTING THEMES FROM LOVECRAFT DOESN'T MEAN YOU ADAPT HIS RACISM!
Literally in the first 3 pages a slur.
Plenty of people have used his mythos without doing that. Racism doesn't equal dark/edgy

Yeah it's a bummer too because some of my favorite comics have been written by Alan Moore. The Saga of Swamp Thing and V for Vendetta are both amazing.
