About the series
A ten-issue miniseries from DC, The Wake is a tense, two-part science-fiction horror epic written by Scott Snyder. The first half, illustrated by Sean Murphy, plunges readers into a deep-sea research station where a team of scientists discovers an ancient, terrifying creature, while the second half, with art by Christian DiBari, leaps forward in time to explore the apocalyptic aftermath of that discovery. Snyder and his artistic collaborators craft a chilling, atmospheric story that combines the claustrophobic dread of an underwater thriller with a broader, post-catastrophe survival narrative. It stands as a memorable, self-contained genre piece from DC's early 2010s output.
