Geekscape Comics: Preview ‘The Wake’ By Scott Snyder And Sean Murphy

We’re just a few days away from getting our first taste of The Wake, Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy’s new miniseries that spans the world, the ocean, and even time itself. I’m a sucker for anything with Snyder’s name on it: Batman is one of the best books coming from DC right now, American Vampire is consistently wonderful, and every single one of his other projects is well worth picking up. I’ve actually never experienced any of Sean Murphy’s previous works, but judging by the preview pages found below, we’re in for an absolute treat.

Issue #1 of The Wake hits shelves Wednesday, May 29th. You’ll want to add it to your pull list soon, as with names like this on the front of the book, it’s going to sell out fast. Check out some preview pages from issue one below, and let us know what you think!

“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.
