Cover: Tony Sedani, Joe Daxberger
Full-format comic consisting of two nautical horror stories. The art by both creators (each does writing and art on one of the stories) is stark and gorgeous throughout this book. I love the fish-tale-turned-dark flavor, which was nicely complemented by the grim art style.
The first story features a fisherman who survives a shipwreck only to find himself in an even worse place.
Next up a man trying to give up his dark secrets to the sea has an encounter with some of the sea's own secrets.
These stories are horror flash-fiction in comic form. There isn't room for a lot of plot twists or character development, but the mood and flavor of the stories give them their impact.
Rating: 8/10
