The Wake

A taut, atmospheric ten-issue miniseries from DC Comics, The Wake pairs writer Scott Snyder with artist Sean Murphy for a chilling sci-fi horror story that unfolds across two distinct timelines. Set in the near future and a distant past, it follows a marine biologist summoned to an underwater drilling station to investigate a mysterious sound from the ocean’s depths—a discovery that unravels a secret history tied to humanity’s origins. Snyder’s tense, character-driven script and Murphy’s moody, detailed art create a gripping, claustrophobic thriller that stands as a compelling original work from the pair.
