DC Comics Limited Series

WAKE (2014)

"The series Buzzfeed called 'the best horror comic of the year' and Comics Alliance rated 'most unpredictable' and 'uncanny and uncategorizable' comes to a shocking conclusion. Will Leeward uncover a history buried thousands of leagues beneath the sea - or will the waves come crashing down on what little land is left?"

"A post-apocalyptic USA only partially above sea level, a country overrun by corrupt leaders fearful of horrific mermaids, a voice dredged up from the deep, dark past - how will all these factors tie together in the acclaimed miniseries by Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy? Will Leeward discover something more to the life she knows out across the vast ocean? Find out in the penultimate issue of THE WAKE!"
