Drain

A compact, three-issue horror series from Dark Dragon Books, launched in 2011 and still ongoing, Drain traps its characters in a claustrophobic, waterlogged nightmare. The story follows a group of survivors trapped in a flooded city, where the rising waters bring not just drowning but a monstrous, unseen threat from the depths. Known for its grim, atmospheric art and relentless tension, the series is a taut exercise in survival horror, distinguished by its bleak, waterlogged setting and slow-burn dread. It matters as a focused, independent take on the creature-feature genre, proving that a short, self-contained run can deliver a powerful, unsettling punch.
