This fall,bImage Comics is bringing the cult-classic sci-fi/horror thriller Ocean—written by Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Trees) and illustrated by Chris Sprouse (Black Panther, Batman)—back to print for the first time in years.
Originally a six-issue miniseries, this provocative, standalone graphic novel is a perfect fit for fans of cerebral science fiction like Arrival or Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation. With the current surge in public interest surrounding UFOs and off-world phenomena, the timing for this re-release feels particularly sharp.
The story centers on Jupiter’s moon, Europa, which hides the only off-world ocean known to humanity beneath a half-mile-thick mantle of ice. When a small research station orbiting the moon discovers something unsettling buried beneath the surface, U.N. weapons inspector Nathan Kane is dispatched to assess the situation.
Kane soon discovers thousands of mysterious, dormant coffins suspended in the Europan ocean—and he realizes he isn’t the only one orbiting the moon who is desperate to uncover what’s inside them.
