“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.
Issue number one of The Wake, a new 10-issue miniseries from Vertigo Comics will be released this coming Wednesday. Said Snyder on the series, "The ocean is so deeply unexplored that it really feels like a place where you could suddenly discover something that would change your world view and change your whole sense of evolution." Adds Murphy, "When the creature gets angry, its face sort of shifts into a barracuda. When it's not angry, its eyes will change color here and there. I don't think I've ever seen a comic book try to do that. There's a lot of stuff Scott and I are throwing at him that will hopefully make the creature really stand out from what you've seen before but will be somewhat familiar and scary."
