Deep Sea (One Shot)

by lucstclair on May 22, 2013

The Mist meets 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea meets The Abyss in this exciting & terrifying new one shot from the writers of Retrovirus. An underwater adventure 50 years in the making, as deep sea explorers discover a rift through time & dimensions and unsuspectingly unleash giant ocean creatures that wreck havoc on the high seas.
 

The Team

Written by Jimmy Palmiotti & Justin Gray (Retrovirus), illustrated by Tony Akins & coloured by Paul Mounts. Reprinted from the pages of Dark Horse Presents.
 

The Pros & Cons

This is a fun sci-fi & horror yarn that jumps from the 60’s to modern times. Like those cheesy underwater movies like Leviathan & Deep Rising, The Deep Sea has tough guys, nerdy scientists, pressurised underwater scenarios (always love those) and of course creepy & slimy oversized sea monsters. The plot involves a deep sea crew from the 60’s out to explore the deep end of the ocean in the hopes of discovering new species of marine life. Be careful what you wish for. After Paul Barry, the leader of the team suffers a broken leg, he’s forced to sit this one out, while the others descend into the abyss in a submarine like vessel called the Sea Bastard. Soon after, the team loses contact from the surface (for once it’s not because of a topside hurricane) and are completely cut off from the surface ship. Assumed dead, we fast forward 50 years later and the wreckage of the Sea Bastard is brought to the surface and Paul Barry, an old man now, discovers something fantastic which leads to something horrific.
 
Like Retrovirus (click here for my review), Palmiotti & Gray are masters at stories involving discoveries gone terribly wrong. Gory images of dismemberment, lots of guns & nightmarish creatures taken from H.P. Lovecraft’s worst nightmares. Illustrator Tony Akins does a fine job at displaying the characters and with colourist Paul Mounts, the monsters are big, gooey & vivid.
 

The Outcome

This is a one shot comic, but on the final panel, the writers state that the story will continue. Whether it concludes the story remains to be seen, but regardless, I thought this was an average comic. If you’re a fan of this type of aqua schlock, then you might find this to your liking, otherwise skip it.
