    “THERE’S SOMETHING DOWN THERE…”

    When Marine Biologist Lee Archer is approached by the Department of Homeland Security for help with a new threat, she declines, but quickly realizes they won’t take no for an answer. Soon she is plunging to the depths of the Arctic Circle to a secret, underwater oilrig where they’ve discovered something miraculous and terrifying...

    Writer Scott Snyder (BATMAN, AMERICAN VAMPIRE) and artist Sean Murphy (PUNK ROCK JESUS) bring their acclaimed talents to this sci-fi/horror epic that explores the horrors of the deep, probes the origins of human history, and leaps far beyond to a frightening future.

    Wake up! Read The WAKE! 0

    The Wake #1 - Part One by cineman on June 09, 2013

    Do you remember the Eighty’s? A time when horror movies where original? Remember such films as ALIEN? Or THE THING? Scott Snyder of Batman fame sure does, and it really show’s in his new book The Wake from VERTIGO/DC comics.The story starts off well enough, we meet an unnamed blue haired girl, who just happens to be gliding above the flooded ruins of a once great city. The art here is gorgeous, but I would expect nothing less from artist Sean Murphy. We meet her cyborg dolphin Dash(that’s right...

    It's really refreshing to get in on the ground floor of a creator's new idea. And with a writer who is continually climbing the the ladder of awesome its just great to read something like this.What We can Love About The Book:I really loved the art all the way through the issue. The two pg first part was neat and I felt It was a good hook. In the second part started off slow and this and part 3 take up the longest part of the book and seems to be the driving story for the book overall. I reall...
