The Wake

Creators: Scott Synder / Sean Murphy
Genre : Science Fiction
Published by : Vertigo
Status:Completed

A secret forgotten by the human race.
Something that is hidden in the myths as well as science.
Two brave women who will discover it..
A story that happens in two time periods.

That is just the tip of the iceberg if we have to discuss about ' The Wake'. The book is divided into two parts - each part containing 5 issues.



In part one,Marine Biologist Lee Archer and team discovers a creature that is a missing link between human and fish - a mere. But they were too late,to discover the whole information and warn the outside world.

200 years later,Leeward,a merehunter girl is looking for a secret that could save the entire world - a world where the sea has taken over most land and humans live in fear of the merepeople.Along with a pirate captain,she starts a journey that will reaveal some long hidden truths.



Remember the feeling when we finished watching 'Inception' for first time? We know it was brilliant and yet there are some missing links here and there. That is how I felt after reading ' The Wake'
Synder crafts a story that spans from the beginning of spices to 200 years in the future,backed by the beautiful art by Sean Murphy.

Good read ( still missing something though,maybe I will give it another try sometime later)
