SubHuman #1

Nov 1998 · Dark Horse · 2.95 USD; 4.15 CAD
“Rapture and the Deep (Chapter 1)”

Dr. Krill Stromer, an oceanographer and mechanical engineer, built a radical bathysphere from old inherited notes. Once submerged, it transformed her into a SubHuman that can change color, endure killing cold, breathe underwater, etc. Krill doesn't understand the changes, only that ancestral memories guide her. The ship is attacked by sea monsters and a saboteur who hijacks a helicopter to kidnap Krill. Sailors shoot and hack sea monsters, but Krill notes it's not working. Grabbing an anchor for weight, she dives overboard through the ice.
