Half-sized b/w minicomic that tells the tale of an epic journey of a great white shark and a sea turtle. In this issue, they encounter a submarine and pass through the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Dembicki's art is spectacular and his layouts are fun and highly original. The animals are drawn with loving attention to detail and accuracy, and additional information about the story is brought out through dialogue between the shark and turtle. The result is a kind of epic eco-fantasy quest story that touches on real environmental issues. It's great to get a look at life from the shark's point of view.
